What do the Shark Tank Investors say about Foot Fairy
- Mark Cuban is the last Shark to be in, and he asks what differentiates foot fairy from a world famous podiatrist. They respond their passion. He tells them if they say that one more time, he is out. So, Dr. Shapiro and Nicole come back to taking a year to get the accuracy right. Mark is afraid they will drive him batty, but he does the deal anyway with a contingency.
- Barbara Corcoran believes enthusiasm is not enough so, she is out.
- Kevin O'Leary Wants to know what they have that is proprietary; he can't see it. He is out.
- Lori Greiner is the first to go out, saying that they do not have a business yet.
- Robert Herjavec comments on their desire to hire a team of developers to build out their App. He states the Foot Fairy is duplicable; he is out.
