"Shark Tank"–Backed Student Founder Inspiring the Next Generation of Entrepreneurs
Max Feber Biography
Max Feber is a student entrepreneur whose journey began in high school and accelerated when he appeared on ABC's "Shark Tank" as a full-time college student. At 19, he launched BRUW, a cold-brew coffee filter he prototyped in class and scaled from a dorm room to a nationally distributed product. Feber leveraged campus resources, pitch competitions and peer networks to grow the company, a momentum that ultimately led him to"Shark Tank," where he secured an investment from Mark Cuban.
Balancing lectures and exams with manufacturing runs and investor calls, Feber became a standout example of how students can turn limited resources into real traction. His story highlights the power of leveraging the "student advantage," built-in credibility, abundant mentorship and a supportive entrepreneurial ecosystem.
Feber shares practical, relatable lessons on time management, resilience and turning college into a launchpad. His talks inspire students to view school not as a barrier to entrepreneurship but as an unparalleled strategic asset.
