Signal Vault is a security-technology company focused on RFID-blocking products—cards or devices you can slip into your wallet that interfere with scanners trying to pick up credit/debit card data. Its flagship product is a credit-card sized protector that doesn’t require batteries. The company gained mainstream attention after being featured on Shark Tank, where founder Chris Gilpin sought investment to scale the business.
Early Traction & Shark Tank Moment
When Chris Gilpin appeared on Shark Tank, he asked for $200,000 in exchange for roughly 12.5% equity. That initially placed the company’s valuation at about $1.6 million. Shark Tank Blog After negotiations, he accepted a deal where investors Lori Greiner and Robert Herjavec took 25% equity for $200,000—effectively valuing the business around $800,000 at that time.
Following the show, SignalVault reportedly sold 3.2 million dollars in sales within the first 14 months and expanded distribution to retail partners. The product also had success on QVC, reportedly selling out quickly in one appearance. Shark Tank Blog+1
Recent Estimates & Valuation Projections
More recent sources suggest that SignalVault’s net worth or valuation in 2025 is higher than its early days. Some report figures in the range of $4–5 million. Others, applying growth assumptions, speculate valuations closer to $10–12 million.
It’s worth noting that the “net worth” of a company is not the same as profits or revenue. These estimates often reflect valuation—what investors believe the company is worth—rather than cash on hand or actual earnings.
One blog claims SignalVault had annual sales exceeding $5 million and positions the company’s net worth around $4.5 million. Another update suggests a valuation around $11.7 million, assuming continued growth and compounding performance.
What to Keep in Mind
- None of these numbers come from audited financial statements or publicly released SEC filings.
- Valuations based on Shark Tank deals, media reports, or internal projections can be optimistic or inflated.
- The nature of product sales (wholesale, retail partnerships, margin, production cost) heavily affects real profitability, which may diverge from headline valuations.
- Market competition, technology shifts, and product efficacy (e.g. effectiveness of RFID protection) can meaningfully impact future value.
Final Thoughts
While there’s no universally accepted figure, most public sources point to SignalVault’s valuation or “net worth” in 2025 being in the mid-million dollar range, likely somewhere between $4 million and $12 million. The company’s trajectory—from a Shark Tank pitch to retail distribution—supports that it has built value beyond its initial investment, though how much of that value is realized (or durable) remains to be seen.
