Cheryl Rigdon

Founder Spatty

Cheryl Rigdon is a resourceful inventor and entrepreneur, best known for creating the Spatty, a unique tool designed to help consumers get the last bit of product out of bottles and containers. Before becoming an entrepreneur Cheryl worked as a Speech and Language Pathologist. Cheryl has a master’s degree in Speech Pathology and an undergraduate degree in Special Education. Cheryl's entrepreneurial journey began with a simple but impactful idea while working in product development. Frustrated by wasted makeup stuck in hard-to-reach corners of containers, she sought to design an affordable, eco-friendly solution to save money and reduce waste. Her innovative product, the Spatty, is a flexible, small spatula capable of reaching into even the tiniest corners of jars and bottles. Initially launched through her appearance on Shark Tank in 2012, Cheryl's idea quickly resonated with audiences, turning the Spatty into a household name. Cheryl's determination and passion drove her to successfully market and expand her product line, which now includes various sizes and uses for cosmetics, kitchen, home, and crafting purposes. Cheryl is a passionate advocate for resourcefulness and sustainability, inspiring others to think creatively and pursue their ideas. Her story is a testament to the power of perseverance and innovation. Beyond her entrepreneurial pursuits, Cheryl loves being a wife and mom to three girls.
