Another Shark Tank Pitch

Who Is The Founder Of Deux Foods?

The Founder & CEO of Deux Foods Company is Sabeena Lada and the company base is in Los Angeles, California, United States.

For a few years, she worked as a marketing person in different companies, including McKinsey & Company, M13 and many more.

Deux Foods Before Shark Tank

The official launch of Deux Foods Company took place in October 2020 when Sabeena created Plant-Based Functional Foods.

She mixed different supplements in her vegan and gluten free recipe with the help of naturopathic doctors. She made cookie doughs and started selling them on Instagram.

Sabeena mother is Pakistani and her father is Indian and her father opened a gas station to shave money and started living there. This business idea came to the founder in June 2020 and he launched it in October 2020.

Sabina had been watching her father doing business since childhood, so she had very good knowledge of business. Within 1 year of starting the company, the founder raised $1 million from 6 investors (Yanni Hufnagel, Tony Antoci, Jake Kassan, Carter Reum, Brandin Cohen and Animal Capital) in the seed round.

To increase product sales, the founders were able to list their products on various supermarket chains, including Whole Foods, Fresh Market and many more.

How Was The Shark Tank Pitch Of Deux Foods?

Sabeena entered Shark Tank with her company and asked the sharks for $300k for a 10% equity. The founder gave this product to all the sharks to test and Mark liked the test.

Kevin was worried about the 110 calories of this food, but the founder said that it depends on the size. She is not focusing on calories, she is focusing on clean ingredients.

From October to December in 2020, this company made $70,000 in revenue, in 2021 it has reached $630,000 and is on track to made $1.2 million end of this years. The founder had got the approval of the Whole Foods chain before joining Shark Tank.

Each jar cost $3.70 to make and sold for $15. So far it has raised $1 million at a $6 Million Cap. Robert Herjavec said that he does not like sweets and if this product is not for him, then he is out.

Lori Graner said that this is not the right match for her then she is out. Nirav Tolia said that he is an “Internet Guy” and this field is not for him then he is out.

Kevin O’Leary said he would never eat this type of food, so he is out. Mark Cuban also refused to invest in this business. So Sabeena had to go from Shark Tank without taking any investment.

Finalize: Deux Foods didn’t get the deal in Shark Tank.
