Sharks took a bite out of Boarderie when the company’s founders, Aaron Menitoff and Julie Larson, appeared on  ABC’s Shark Tank. The couple got their start in hospitality more than 20 years ago, running a catering company together in Palm Beach, Florida.

They started small, but their creativity and flair soon set them apart. In short order, they had celebrity clients like Bruce Springsteen and Prince Harry. When the pandemic hit in 2020, Aaron and Julie had to pivot, ultimately deciding to create catering-quality cheeseboards that can be beautifully delivered to a customer’s front door.
