PupBox Shark Tank Pitch
PupBox changes how people raise their puppies with the right Toys, Treats and accessories in a monthly subscription box. They have five to seven products along with instructions for the products that are timed for the age of your puppy.
The PupBox is $29.99 to $39.99 depending on the length of the subscription. The average price point for the box is $30 after discounts. They have $580,000 in sales before coming into Shark Tank and estimate $800,000 for the current Shark Tank pitch year.
PupBox acquires customers through social media and content marketing. Ben predicts $2.5 million in the coming year, and will be profitable in the Shark Tank pitch year.

What do the Shark Tank Investors say about PupBox?
- Mark Cuban – clears the deck,not being a big fan of subscription services, he is out.
- Daymond John – is somewhat interested, but has the same issue as Kevin has. Daymond offers $250,000 for 25% equity. He feels he is worth more than Kevin because he is already in this space. He says he will not get into a deal with another Shark. Ben tells Daymond 25% is too much.
- Kevin O'Leary – thinks the valuation is aggressive. Kevin offers $250,000 for 20% equity.
- Lori Greiner – would have gone in with Daymond if he would have had him on the deal.
- Robert Herjavec – offers $250,000 for 15% equity, pushing for them to make a decision now before Lori makes an offer. Robert says he would not do the deal with another Shark at 15% Robert finally says he is getting up, and they agree to the deal with Robert.
