Rent a Goat Shark Tank Pitch

Rent a Goat provides cost-effective, eco-friendly, and super cute weed removal using Goats instead of pesticides and machinery to clean out weeds. You landscape your properties in a safe and eco-friendly way at a competitive price. The goats go where machines can't and they naturally fertilize the land.

450 goats eat an acre day. 70% of Mike's customers are homeowners associations and municipalities. Weeding costs $2700 an acre with a person. The goats run between $400-1200 an acre.

Rent a Goat is bringing 450 goats into San Diego. They are projecting $200,000 first year sales based on $1,000 a day. The website existed since 2010, but did not generate any revenue yet.
