Entrepreneurs are special humans and our guest on the podcast this week, Robbie Cabral, really takes it to the next level. Robbie wears many hats within his company and is an inventor, creator, leader, and visionary. But believe it or not, he did not plan this! His amazing product was born after he was laid off from his job and one day decided to do better for himself and his family and start going to the gym. The rest, as they say, is history.

Robbie Cabral is the Inventor, CEO & Founder of BenjiLock, the world’s first traditional padlock with fingerprint technology. Featured on ABC’s hit show Shark Tank, Robbie Cabral landed Kevin O’Leary as an investor with a 15% equity stake in the company, catapulting BenjiLock’s potential and success by securing a licensing partnership with Hampton Products International, the leader in security and hardware innovations and makers of BRINKS locks. The traditional lock hasn’t changed in over 100 years, and since the introduction of the key, Robbie’s invention has become the innovation in its category. Today, Robbie’s award-winning fingerprint technology is expanding into a portfolio of products, including an upcoming line of bike locks, next-generation padlocks, drawer closets, and cabinet locks, as well as a brand new line of smart home door locks.
