What do the Shark Tank Investors say about PrideBites
- Mark Cuban thinks there is not a barrier to entry, and he doesn’t think he can help them scale, so he is out.
- Daymond John doesn’t like that they are online yet, and he doesn’t want to sell to big box stores.
- Kevin O’Leary doesn’t see this as a fit in his portfolio, so he is the second Shark to go out.
- Lori Greiner comments that they have not been selling much online, but the uniqueness is the customization. They say that online is their real focus now. Lori likes the style and the look so she makes an offer of $200 for 18% of the company.
- Robert Herjavec thinks he can help them, so he offers $200,000 for 20%. They asked Robert if he would go down and he told them to make a counteroffer. The ask Lori and Robert to join in on the deal for $300,000 for 20% equity, and Robert counters at $300,000 for 30%. Robert counters at $200,000 for 20%. Lori is holding up the deal, but Kevin says he will do it if Lori won’t, and she jumps back and says she is in for the transaction.
