Tabby Shark Tank Update (Season 13)

Tabby is a cat-person dating app that builds a community of diverse cat lovers and provides the perfect dating match. Tabby is completely different from a general dating app because it focuses on the interests of some specific people.

The co-founders of this cat dating app, Sterling Davis, Leigh D’Angelo, and Nathan Kehn ​​appeared on Shark Tank Season 13 Episode 4 and asked the sharks for $300,000 for a 20% equity.

Before this cat-person dating app, the (Dig) dog-person dating app was created by Leigh D’Angelo. All these three founders like cats very much and they are connected with cats somewhere in their life.

Sterling Davis and Nathan Kehn ​​are both social media influencers and have millions of active followers on their social media accounts Instagram and TikTok.

In the United States today, there are more than 50 million families who own cats. Apart from this, there are still 17 million single cat owners in the United States.

For these single cat owners, Tabby is an app that matches both cat persons together for dating. This company had sought investment in Shark Tank at a valuation of $1.5 million.

Founder has made this platform completely free and any cat lover can use this app. But membership is available in this, which provides some extra features and facilities to the user.

At the time of the COVID-19 pandemic, the percentage of pet adoptions had increased rapidly because people had to stay alone in their homes, and to overcome their stress, they had to adopt a pet.

The co-founder of this dating app decided to appear in Shark Tank to get investment for an upcoming revolutionary product.

How Was The Shark Tank Pitch Of Tabby?

Sterling Davis, Leigh (Isaacson) D’Angelo, and Nathan Kehn enter the Shark Tank with their app Tabby and ask the sharks for $300k for a 20% equity. They gave a very good presentation about the specifications of their app to Shark.

Isaacson also told Shark that she was running the Dog Person dating app before the Cat Person dating app. Isaacson said that there are approximately 17 million single cat owners in the United States.

They won The Million Dollar Dating Project and received $50,000 in equity-free grant money from a dating platform company.

So far there are 31,000 users on their app and they have made $43,000 in revenue. $17,000 came from their subscription model and $25,000 from the first integration partner.

Mark Cuban said that it is very difficult, so that is why he is out. Robert Herjavec said that this is a very good app but it is not fit for him then he is out.

Nirav Tolia said “You need to find a way to break through the noise of all those existing dating apps” so that’s why he is out.

Kevin O’Leary Says He Has Invested in the Basepaws Cat DNA Test Company in Shark Tank Season 10 Episode 20 and they have a large database of cat owners. Kevin made an offer for this company of $300k for a 30% equity.

Isaacson counters Kevin for 25% equity but Kevin says no. Lori Greiner says she is not a tech app or app expert but Kevin is an investor in Basepaws so he can help you with this. So that’s why Lori is out of this. Isaacson tells Kevin it sounds like a “purr-fect” deal and they agree.

Finalize: Kevin O’Leary Invest $300K in ‘Tabby’ for 30% Equity.
