How Was The Shark Tank Pitch Of Overplay?
After entering the Shark Tank, Dan and Caroline asked the Sharks for $500k for 2.5% equity. The Sharks were surprised to hear the $20 million valuation and are hopeful that the company’s sales will justify this valuation.
Their platform has millions of gameplays and 150,000 downloads but they are going to monetize the app next year (2024). The surprising thing is that they raised $3.7 million before Shark Tank by giving 20% equity.
They currently have $750,000 cash left in the bank and have burned through $3 million so far. Barbara Corcoran refused to invest in this business. Jason said that he had a friend who was working with such a business idea and he invested in that business and ended up losing all the money. Because of this reason, he is out.
Mark Cuban offered $500k for 15% equity. Dan countered Mark $500k for a 3.25% equity + .75% in advisory share. Mark made another offer of $500k for 4% equity + Overplay pays Mark $500k to Promote & Create Content for Overplay. Dan and Caroline accepted this offer.

Overplay Shark Tank Update
Dan and Caroline explained their business and applications very well to the Sharks. They need investment so that they can grow the company. According to me, this is the worst game application when I started playing the game I didn’t even like this app.
Whether you click on the screen or not, the video game will keep playing until it ends, you will not even feel that you are playing a game. Many players have noticed bug and glitch issues in the game.
