Which Shark Tank company was founded by Sabin Lomac and Jim Tselikis?

The story behind the answer

Sabin Lomac and Jim Tselikis founded Cousins Maine Lobster.

The founders are cousins who built a business around Maine lobster rolls and related seafood dishes. They initially operated a food truck, bringing lobster meals directly to customers rather than beginning with a traditional full-service restaurant. The mobile format helped them test the concept and build a recognizable brand.

Their Shark Tank appearance led to an investment from Barbara Corcoran. After the episode, Cousins Maine Lobster expanded beyond its original truck model through additional trucks, restaurants, catering, and franchising. The business remains closely identified with lobster rolls.

The founders are easy to confuse with other Shark Tank entrepreneurs who appeared with a relative or spouse. Nick and Elyse Oleksak founded Bantam Bagels, while John Tabis and Juan Pablo Montúfar founded The Bouqs Company. Sabin Lomac and Jim Tselikis are the cousins behind the lobster business.
