How Was The Shark Tank Pitch Of Poplight?
Caroline and Rose asked the sharks for $150k for 8% equity.
Currently, their product is in the prototype stage. Its making cost is $25, landed cost is $30, and retail cost is $95. The profit margin for this is around 68%. Mark said it was expensive, but Robert disagreed, stating that $95 wasn’t that expensive.
They have three patents, including one design patent and two pending patents on the technology. They made $178k from Kickstarter in just 4 weeks but haven’t shipped any orders yet. After Kickstarter, their sales were only $5,000.
Kevin O’Leary made an offer of $150k for an 8% equity, plus a $2 royalty until $500k is paid, which then drops to $1 in perpetuity. Mark Cuban said it’s not the worst deal. Barbara Corcoran offered a royalty deal without equity of $150k for a royalty of $20 per unit sold.
Robert Herjavec said that Kevin’s offer is good enough, so he is out. Lori Greiner said that she does not know much about the market for this product and is concerned about the competition, which is why she is out. Mark Cuban also said he has concerns about the product, so he is out.
Caroline and Rose countered Barbara with $150k for a royalty of $12 per unit sold. Barbara countered another $100k cash + $50k as a line of credit for a royalty of $12 per unit sold.
They countered Kevin with $150k for an 8% equity + a $2 royalty until $350k is paid, which then drops to $1 in perpetuity. But Kevin said no. Caroline and Rose decided to accept Kevin’s previous offer.
