About Shark Tank
The Sharks are looking for the best products and businesses America has to offer. Hopeful entrepreneurs come to the Shark Tank seeking an investment to start, grow or save their businesses. If the Sharks hear a great idea, they’re ready to invest using their own money. And they’ll fight each other for a piece of the action. But first, the entrepreneur must convince a shark to invest the full amount they are asking for.
This Emmy Award-winning show has been the launching pad for some of the greatest products ever sold. The Sharks, Mark Cuban, Kevin O’Leary, Barbara Corcoran, Daymond John, Lori Greiner and Robert Herjavec (along with other celebrity guest sharks) have made deals with - or passed on - some amazing brands: The Squatty Potty, Simply Fit Board, Bombas Socks, The Ring Doorbell, Scrub Daddy and The Original Comfy - to name just a few.
Shark Tank celebrates entrepreneurs.

Mark Cuban Thinks Kodiak Cakes is Smart | Shark Tank MISSES | CNBC Prime

[@owenynwa4eva203]

Miss is an understatement when it comes to this company. This company is everywhere now and is recommended by many

[@hamedkk]

I have bought them for years now and I didn’t even know they were on shark tank. Truly missed investment opportunity

[@jimmyrustler2282]

I love Kodiak brand and didn't even know they were on the Tank

[@itsElian]

Same

[@rg7792]

Shark Tank Misses is a really good segment.

[@AnimalA-Z]

These guys were indeed smart! In 2016, the company made $16 million and by 2020, they were spread over 26,000 stores and earned $200 million. In May 2021, they were acquired by an anonymous amount by a private group of equity and as of August 2022, both the founders have been working for the company. Joel is the CEO and Cameron is the President.

The whole shark tank case are frauds.. Mark Cuban promoted voyager & Kevin O'Leary promoted to FTX. I wouldn't trust anyone on that show

[@ChintanCG]

"I'm the only rational investor" says FTX Kevin 😂

[@man4YAWEH454]

When your part of a scam knowingly or unknowingly, God will make you pay?

[@Naturefan354]

Well he didn't say he never made mistakes as an investor, only that he is only interested in making back his money back and then some and not the sob stories of entrepreneurs. And maybe that's true? If he has lost the least amount of money in investments on that panel then I would be inclined to believe him

[@rocksdxebec3406]

As a consumer of their products, I can say I wouldn't change them for nothing, Just delicious

[@danielr2594]

Do they sell these in the new world? Or on the grand line?

[@Thrivewithabi]

Delish! Tastes amazing!

[@Richieboxii]

Kodiak is reasonably priced, made with clean ingredients, tastes amazing, and is protein packed. Huge miss by the sharks.

[@spp-ut1jw]

$200 million in sales? wow, they had the guts to walk away, good for them! So all the sharks got it wrong?

[@Timtimzi]

Love how wrong Kevin can be. Just like that FTX deal lmfao

[@man4YAWEH454]

Well when you filter money back for nefarious reasons, it will eventually wreck havoc.

[@Naturefan354]

How was he wrong though? He said he is the most disciplined on the panel, not that he never made any mistakes. If he has lost the least amount of money in investments then I would be inclined to believe him.

[@bryan-bz4jf]

Pretty sure he made millions from ftx and doesn’t regret anything. He mr wonderful baby!

[@kiwi9660]

for bodybuilders this is a staple - i love kodiak bro

[@da7heaven]

We've been eating these for years. Excellent.

[@JesusAlways1st]

I love the fact that the Kodiak brand has added protein in the mix!! Love it when the Sharks get it wrong. They don’t know everything, but they are truly sharks. I wouldn’t dare do business with them. ❤😊

[@Fake_Newsss]

It’s not that they get it wrong but they see the value in the company and try to make the owners believe that without their help the brand would be nothing. That’s why they make these ridiculous offers.

[@RicardoHernandez-hl7lo]

Blueberry waffles and chocolate waffles are my go to in the mornings. The sharks missed out big on this one

[@usmantariq7997]

I love how they're all arguing with each other like idiots and after making such absurd offers asked so confidently "what you're going to do?", like they were going to accept any of those stupid offers.

[@saeedalromaithy]

“I don’t like pancakes” with a Brooklyn accent, I am out 😅

[@ejicon3099]

Kodiak's products are good but I bought a box of their pancake mix about a year ago and still have half the box in my cupboard. Glad to see their worth $200 million though. Good for them.

[@PoppaPurk]

It’s not for everyone but mainly markets for the healthier consumers

[@rkgsd]

Knowing the health benefits of whole wheat products for the digestive system and the dangers of enriched wheat products, I'm very happy for Kodiak. I've tried their original pancake mix and like it a lot. They're now available directly from Amazon and Costco.

[@devilish2136]

mr wonderfull dont do good deals but great deals like ftx lol🤣😂🤣

[@aligundogdu7668]

Barbara: i dont know why im sitting here. I dont make deals. For that reason im out

[@inumari3703]

Thank you for sharing the outcome.

[@marcjames14]

They have delicious stuff. Glad they made it to where they are right now

[@ftd888]

That’s why, kids, we always bring samples of our product. But it appears to have worked out for the best. I see this brand all the time in Walmart and grocery stores.

[@dannygibson2597]

Nobody even made a rational offer here. If any of the sharks would've taken the initial deal they would've got 20x on their investment. Even without knowing the future of this company you could tell this was a very good product with serious potential, idk how 5 people missed on this.

[@yt-user03561]

Probably only looking at short term gains versus the long term ROI which 4 years to go over 200 million isn't even a long time. Plus anything that gets put into Walmarts everywhere is a grand slam out of the park because it's in the faces of millions of people a day literally I can't even walk down an ailse without bumping into 10 other people. And then there's Amazon you literally couldn't ask for more business exposure.

[@yt-user03561]

And with a name like Kodiak it's pretty easy to think of it as an all-natural brand and to associate it with an active "outdoors" lifestyle.

[@hiby8767]

New episode 😊 thanks

Only pancake brand I buy! Just got blueberry last weekend!

How does Mark Cuban know everything?

[@LRF49]

People are confused in the comments. Fact is, the Sharks knew that Kodiak is a great idea and it was going to be a cash cow. So, they wanted to rip them off. Good for those guys for saying "naw. No thanks".
