Did Electra Get a Deal on Shark Tank?

Electra’s founder, Fran Harris, picked up a shark in a unique way in Shark Tank. She asked for $350,000 in exchange for 20% equity in her company. From the founder, the shark wanted to know about the company’s gross revenue, net revenue, profit, etc.

This is such a field, there are many big brands in it, which do not allow the small company to grow. If a company becomes its competitor, then they crush it.

Harris said that she is not afraid of the competitor as she has already been working in this field, and she has a plan for this business.

Her plan is that she will take it directly to the consumer and also make it available in the retail store. With so many online customers looking for hydration, this is a very good targeted audience for us.

Regarding this business offer, Mark said that he has already signed a deal with two major sports drink manufacturer brands. Because of this, he cannot sign this offer.

Harris is currently working full-time in this business and her product is manufactured in Coppell, a small place outside Dallas.

Before coming to Shark Tank, an email has come from the Largest distributor who is going to work with them.

Harris said she would do the first production for a value of $20K to $30K.

Barbara Corcoran said how will you spend this $350,000 money to the founder, In this, the founder said that she would spend $20K to $30K on production, and the rest of the amount she would hire Logistics, Sales, and Marketing People.

Lori says she likes Harris’ smartness and confidence. but the drink themselves aren’t really my cup of tea for that reason she is out.

Kevin says to the founder, you don’t have any data in this business, more than sales and only confidence is not enough in this business. This is a very big player in the category who does not allow the small business to survive, so because of this, he is out of this deal. If there is any other product or category than this, then confidence is useful in it but not in this business.

Daymond John says that he does not agree with Kevin’s point but it is a lot of challenges in the field, so because of this, he is out of this offer.

Founder asks Barbara Corcoran for her opinion on this business, Barbara talks about her old beverage business deal with a company called Chill Soda in Shark Tank Season 1 Episode 9, She had invested $50,000 in it but it got closed within the month and all her money was lost in it.

Barbara said she couldn’t invest $350,000 in it, but she wanted to invest $100,000 Cash + a $250,000 Line Of Credit For 40% Equity.

Harris said her Counter Offer was too much equity but she would like to stay in 25% equity with the same deal.

After this, Barbara negotiated and said that she would take 30%.

After much discussion, Barbara Corcoran made a counteroffer that was $100,000 Cash + $250,000 Line Of Credit For 30% Contingent On Securing a Partnership With the Influencer and the deal was finalized. This is a very good deal for a new startup.
