Who is Kenny Green?

Kenny Green, who has a background in social work, runs KaAn's Designs with his wife, Ashley Green, from Fort Wayne, Indiana. The company, which Ashley started in 2016, makes matching apparel for families with parenting-themed slogans, aimed at moms, dads and kids who want to mark family milestones together. It sells through its own website, Amazon and Etsy, and has twice landed on Oprah's Favorite Things list. By the time the couple taped Shark Tank, the brand had generated about $3.2 million in lifetime sales.

In Season 16 they asked for $75,000 for 15% of the business, saying the money would help them increase production and meet demand. Todd Graves of Raising Cane's made a $75,000 offer structured around a loan, which they accepted, and Daymond John signed on as a mentor. KaAn's Designs continues to sell family apparel online.
