Solar Meditation Bow

Palu Rainbowsong, from Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, presented the Solar Meditation Bow, a solar-powered instrument built for meditation and framed as much as an art piece as a product.

The pitch aired in Season 8, episode 6, in 2013, with a request of $75,000 for 33%. That equity split implied a value of about $227,273.

This installment is widely cited as the most-watched episode in the Canadian show's history, drawing around 1.1 million viewers. As for buying one today, the official product site loads blank, so sales run through Palu's own Bandcamp store, where a bow is listed at $1,000 CAD with tiered options as of July 23, 2026.

The equity ask is striking: 33% for $75,000, an implied value of about $227,273 and one of the smaller valuations in this group. It reads less like a scaling play than a maker looking for a believer.

The number that actually matters here is the audience. This installment is widely cited as the most-watched episode in the Canadian show's history at around 1.1 million viewers, which is a cultural footprint no investment could have bought. Palu Rainbowsong still sells the instrument, listed at $1,000 CAD through a Bandcamp store with tiered finishes. A solar-powered meditation instrument was never going to be a scalable product line, and selling it direct as an art piece is the right version of that business.
