They entered the tank seeking $150,000 for 10% of their company. Sharks really liked the product and all were interested in investing.
Kevin O’Leary: This is the first time a valuation that comes into Shark Tank that’s reasonable.
Barbara Corcoran: I’d like to offer you $200,000 for 10%.
Kevin O’Leary: I want to offer $150,000 for 6% and I want a $1 per unit too.
Barbara Corcoran: That’s like triple dipping.
Mark Cuban: You need help with the whole organizational side of it.
Lori Greiner: First of all, I hate bugs, I hate mosquitos, and I hate things that bite, because they bite me. So, I don’t do this often, but I’m offering you my golden ticket (holds up a little golden square). I’m giving you as much as you asked for.
Barbara Corcoran: She’s not giving you as much as I offered you.
Lori Greiner: I’m giving you exactly what you asked for, so if you want my ticket, it’s right here.
Barbara Corcoran: What is the ticket about?
Lori Greiner: $150,000 for 10%. That’s what the golden tick is about.
Mark Cuban: Barbara, do you want to go in together?
Barbara Corcoran: Yes, (nods head emphatically).
Lori Greiner: (Holding out the ticket) Come on, take it because it might go away. I hear mumbling (points at Mark and Barbara) and when I hear mumbling, it worries me.
Bug Bite Thing: Lori, we’d like to do the deal with you.
That’s right, they did the deal with Lori Greiner for $150,000 for 10% of their company and they received the “golden ticket.”
According to Lori Greiner’s website, Bug Bite Thing is doing really well. In just two years since the taping of their episode, the company has made $21 million in retail sales!
