📈 Sharks' Investment (Final Deal)
Alchemize Fightwear Net Worth
Alchemize Fightwear was valued at $5 million when Maya pitched but negotiated down to $2 million with the three-shark deal ($300,000 for 15%). With $1.8 million in cumulative sales since 2020 and strong post-episode momentum, actual net worth is approximately $2-3 million. The deal with Lori, Kendra, and Alexis provides valuable expertise in retail, fashion, and commerce to scale the women's combat sports apparel market.
Maya Nazareth pitched Alchemize Fightwear on Shark Tank Season 17 in October 2025, seeking $250,000 for 5% equity, initially valuing the company at $5 million. Alchemize produces high-performance combat sports apparel specifically designed for women—including rash guards, singlets, leggings, and jiu-jitsu gis tailored to the female form.
Nazareth discovered Brazilian jiu-jitsu at age 17 and experienced firsthand how poorly existing fightwear fit women. Male-designed gear exposed women’s bodies, forcing them to layer multiple garments for coverage.
She conducted over 100 interviews and took measurements from 1,500 female fighters before launching Alchemize in 2020 with just one rash guard design. Her approach focuses on function-first design with built-in sports bras, high necklines, double-lined front and back, and premium fabrics engineered for comfort and durability.
By pitch time, Alchemize had generated $1.8 million in lifetime sales since 2020. The hero product—women’s wrestling singlet—drives approximately 50% of revenue and retails for $90 (production cost $27).
Nazareth maintained a lean five-core-product inventory while testing demand through limited capsule collections. She was also recognized as a Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree with 26,000+ Instagram followers.
Kevin O’Leary immediately passed over valuation concerns, questioning whether the $5 million ask was justified given competition from Nike and other major brands. Daymond John suggested simplifying the product catalog.
However, Reddit founder Alexis Ohanian championed the brand, citing research about girls quitting sports due to poor-fitting sports bras. Lori Greiner and Kendra Scott joined forces with Alexis, ultimately offering $300,000 for 15% equity—bringing valuation to $2 million. Nazareth negotiated from their initial 20% ask to 15%.
After the episode aired, Alchemize immediately launched limited-edition “Shark Tank Exclusive” collections and announced the East Coast Women’s Grappling Retreat 2026, planning to expand their previous training camps (which served over 200 women) to a larger scale.
