What the Shark Tank Investors say about Define Bottle.
Barbara Corcoran thinks he spent way too much on development and she would not get her money back. She is out.
Kevin O'Leary thinks there is way too much competition and for that reason, he's out.
Lori Greiner is out because of the competition.
Robert Herjavec thinks he has a great design, but the retailer did not reorder. He tells him they need to do some research, but he will make him an offer for $100,000 for 40% equity.
They have $85,000 in tooling, $150,000 in inventory, and are projecting $200,000 sales this year. The Kostler's think the company is worth a bit more. Carter says, they are expecting $400,000 sales in the following year. Carter asks Robert to go 30%. Robert will not take his counter offer and goes out.
Mark Cuban thinks at fifteen years old, nobody will say no, but that said it is a “cool product.” Mark is trying to find a reason to say yes. His parents taking out a mortgage on their house, and he has not given enough background on the company, so he is out.
Define Bottle is selling on Amazon with two-day free shipping with Prime. The price is lower at just under $25 which makes this a better buy. I think I may try it out.
