BatBnb on Shark Tank Summary

How much did they ask for in Shark Tank?

The duo came in seeking $100,000 for a 16% stake in their bat house business.

Let’s do the math.
Each unit landed cost is $89 and they sell for $239. This leads to a profit margin of 169%.

What is the reason behind the BatBnB house?

According to Sharktankblog Broadhurst and Rannefors parents (not related) both studied and/or built bat houses with them as children. They did this due to the signs of increasing mosquito population and dwindling bat population. Bats are the best way to control mosquitos in the world.

Did BatBnB get a deal?

While almost all sharks went out, Kevin O’Leary offered $100,000 for 33.3% which the guys agreed to.
