The IcyBreeze demonstrates a product that is cashflow positive, has everything paid for, and yet the Sharks would not do the deal. Dave, the entrepreneur didn’t quite understand, but the Sharks are there for people who need their helps as much as they need their money.
The IcyBreeze doesn’t need their money, and they probably would not see much gain from a Shark given the type of product they have.
