Hot Tot child hair cair line seeks $50,000 for 15% Pre-Shark Tank the girls were at $16,000 in sales, but now they’ve sold over $300,000 and are projecting $1.2 million in the next 12 months. After making a deal with Barbara, Keeley and Erika made the tough decision to put college on hold in favor of working on the company full-time… and they haven’t looked back since. Season three viewers will remember college students Keeley Tillotson and Erika Welsh, who entered the tank seeking an investment in their company, Wild Squirrel Nut Butter. Shark Tank Success Story: Wild Squirrel Nut Butter Because Dan claims to be looking for a Shark partnership-not just money-he declines Kevin’s offer and leaves the Shark Tank without a deal. None of the Sharks seem impressed enough by the company to make an offer, until Kevins offers $50,000 for no equity, but instead for a $2-$2.50 royalty on every unit sold. Although the Sharks like the concept, Dan quickly gets himself into trouble by claiming sales of 50,000 units, before backtracking and admitting he made a mistake on the math, and that he’s actually closer to 40,000 units. Dan asked the Sharks for a $50,000 investment in exchange for 30% of his company. Next into the Shark Tank is Dan Rothwell, representing the Dura-Tent, a tabletop tent that can cover food to prevent insects from getting in during picnics. With that, they’re all out, but not before Kevin remarks, “Only on Shark Tank would you see that kind of insanity.” Dura-Tent table tent company requests $50,000 for 30% While the Sharks are all amused by the novelty concept, they just can’t see the value of an investment in the company. The Arkeg can be used for beer, wine, rootbeer, or a number of other beverages. The Arkeg was born from the duo’s love of arcade games and beer, and it combines the two into a unique arcade game that doubles as a kegerator. Second into the tank are childhood friends Dan Grimm and Brant Myers, representing their company Arkeg, and seeking a $100,000 investment in exchange for a 33% stake in the company. Deal! Childhood friends ask $100,000 for Arkeg beer arcade He counter-offers and goes back and forth with Lori and Mark, but they eventually strike a deal: $450,000 for 35%, $80,000/year salary for 3 years, and 10% royalty until the investment is recouped. After a quick pow-wow with his wife, Doug tells the Sharks that he doesn’t want to give away the entire company. Rather than join Lori, Mark makes his own offer (that Lori joins in on): $1 million for 100% of the company, including an $80,000 salary for five years. Lori’s in next with an offer of $450,000 for 40%, with an option for Mark Cuban to join her on the deal. Kevin is first to make an offer of $150,000 for 30%, combined with a $300,000 loan and $0.25/mask royalty until investment is recouped. Both Daymond and Robert are annoyed at Doug’s large salary request, and they drop out. Doug says the $450,000 investment will guarantee him a $100,000 salary for the next 3 years, along with money to get him started in bigger licensing contracts. More importantly, the company has grown in five years from $7,000 in sales to a projected $105,000 in sales last year. At a manufacturing cost of only $0.25-$0.60, a wholesale cost of $2.50, and retail cost of $5, the Sharks love the margins.
