Yes, beach towels.

Brandon Leibel, who once drove Uber cars to make ends meet, co-founded Sand Cloud, a beach towel and apparel company. 

After years of hard work and an appearance on ABC's "Shark Tank," the company saw revenue of $6 million in 2017 and aims to book upwards of $15 million in 2018.

Sand Cloud is working with Robert Herjavec on "Shark Tank."

Leibel and his friends started the business with just $10,000. Leibel says Facebook (FB) is his most powerful adverting tool for Sand Cloud.
