What do the Shark Tank Investors say about Squatty Potty?
- Mark Cuban – thinks they are talking out of both sides of their mouth. He thinks they need a value assigned and would not argue about 5%. He is out.
- Barbara Corcoran – is more nervous as she listens. She is out.
- Kevin O'Leary – says this is the first crappy investment that he likes. Kevin offers $350,000 for 10% equity.
- Lori Greiner – likes it, but to Kevin's point, 5% is a nothing-burger. She says she needs at least 10% and she does not want to give $700,000. They counter at $500,000 for 10% and Lori doesn't accept it.
- Robert Herjavec – says kudos to them as he never thought they would have that kind of revenue. He just doesn't see it. He is out.
