Influencer In The Wild Owner Made Up Its Valuation? | Shark Tank US | Shark Tank Global

[@weaslepopper]

Lets face it,he really wasn't looking for a deal,and I'm surprised that Mark didn't call him out on it. He just wanted the free publicity.

[@Skillpointer10]

So why not have both the publicity and a shark?

[@TheMichaelScarn]

I don’t think homie really needs the publicity

[@samueljackson3920]

Exactly. This was such a dumb pitch, and I highly doubt he’s that stupid to think any of the sharks were going to work with that valuation…especially if he watches the show the way he said he did.

[@imsorryreacts]

I really think he just needed guidance on how business works in general.

[@faraway3032]

Yep. My thoughts exactly

[@arjunrsrivatsa]

-I've been watching Shark Tank since season one, I've learned everything from it -Okay how did you come up with the valuation -I made it up

[@nzelver559]

Yeah after he said "To be honest, I just made this up" - I knew his goose was cooked. I'm sure he has the followers he says he does - but that doesn't translate over to sales and that's the #1 rule in Shark Tank, you have to have sales.

[@handfuloflight]

@@nzelver559 Also it's insane to have ZERO in DTC sales when you are a influencer, the whole point of an influencer is to own the relationship with the customer...

[@johnpillay1816]

I loved that Mark called out that he didn't watch enough Shark Tank. 5m valuation is nuts

[@evergreens92]

5m valuation is actually nothing...

[@puresoul7293]

Should’ve made it a drinking game and called it Under The Influence

[@flexmendelson]

wait this is actually good

[@pauliesandmanpalermo3757]

Genius

[@iamgroot4080]

He is calling himself an influencer. Those don't think...

[@nancyjones6780]

Or Under the Influencer 😂

[@seamuslewin4325]

There's already a radio show called 'under the influence' about marketing. It's really good. Check it out.

[@NathanLipetz]

This is a terrible idea and the lack of sales prove that

[@jpark28]

I love tank, but this looks like a very basic board game with an influencer "skin" attached What do you meme and cards against humanity were at least more versatile/unique and had a comedy and game night aspect to it. I can't imagine a lot of people having a game night to play this basic game

[@Nintendoshi]

The name isn't eye catching, it sounds really cheap.

[@NathanLipetz]

@@Nintendoshi agree but that’s changeable at least

[@linfordrenno7651]

@Nintendoshi I kind of like this game but yeah the name of the game sounds cheap…. In the Wild doesn’t go… my first thoughts was… hunting/nature/Tarzan

[@blake1662]

How can you watch the show since season 1 and just say “I randomly picked a number” for the valuation?

[@rebecatravels]

Yeah what a douche. It wasn't even like "look I gotta be honest, I guessed," like an ashamed vibe. Dude just wanted the advertisement.

[@wandatym5184]

I'm a financial management student and I know you can't just 'pick a number' when it comes to valuations, it's a whole calculation. P.S: I'm repeating the subject next year 😫 just by how tedious valuations are.

[@TheeAnonymousTrader]

​@wandatym5184 sorry for laughing 😂😂😂

[@Figgy20000]

It wasn't random. This guy never wanted a deal to begin with, just the publicity.

[@masror_ah]

​@@wandatym5184 can you please give us a KZbin video link to a video where it explains it in a best way possible (if you have one)

[@NecroMoz]

He’s really successful on social media but there’s virtually no crossover here. Board game fans aren’t gonna play this. His followers aren’t gonna want to play a board game about one of his accounts

[@Twacket]

And for those reasons.. I’m out. 😂

[@AlchemySurfboards]

​@@Twacket🤣

[@imsorryreacts]

Right he should’ve made it into an app

[@michaelfranzese4975]

Honestly, this simplest yet best take on why this wouldn't succeed.

[@suedenim]

It's obviously a simple roll-and-move game of the sort that was old hat in 1965, so yeah, no interest from actual board gamers.

[@traderzzz123]

This is one of those that gives u a good laugh at first but you wont ever play it. It'll just be sitting there

[@rebecatravels]

That is very true! Damn he didn't look at the market. Though that could change in the future, but for now it's not the case.

[@DBsNature]

It's the self-proclaiming of being an influencer that is a turn off.

[@chrisbarry9345]

[@orga7012]

"I've been watching Shark Tank since season 1, learned so much!" also "I've made up the valuation. Why isn't it worth 5 million dollars?"

[@MrLeary73]

This game will be played one time at best and then put in the closet for the next 20 years after its been bought from a bargain bin store like 5 and below.

[@ianlister7333]

so he is a successful influencer (ill take his and the Sharks word for that), but he isnt selling any direct to consumer? isnt that his WHOLE job? Marcs suggestion that he puts his insta handle on the box highlights the fact, that this guy is not the face of his own game.

[@bjvu9460]

Or, or, he didnt think of it! lets not over analyze things because you arent a part of the planning . Things that would seem obvious is not always that obvious. Why dont celebrities just call their product whatever their name is since that would automatically identify who is benefiting from whatever product is being made. There are so many products and companies that are the name of the person and they werent famous so it would make sense that george clooney call his tiquila G Clooney but that didnt happen; his face wasnt on the bottle either!

[@jtattri173]

anyone else think this game is incredibly cringe?

[@DrB81]

People obsessed with social media and “influencers” spend all their time online virtually. They aren’t gonna want to play a game in the “real world”. He should have had it online.

[@Sauczi]

This guy wanted a quick payday.. That board game sucks

[@danjwalker]

Tank's pupils are huge in such a lighted environment. I think he's yoinked on something.

He has the typical the influencer delusion that they all have.

[@blankblank3221]

This is the guy who would take the dinner with JayZ

[@MedicineManBars]

Aint have to do him like that 😂

[@GUIDESPERSPECTIVE]

If he has been watching this show since it started and he claims this show got him where he is then he obviously wasn't paying attention and hasn't learned anything to come in with that ask and valuation. I think it was a publicity play.

[@ZachGood]

this guy would be better off selling clownshoes because he seems to be an expert in that

[@daniellevi9844]

Just watch someone make a mobile version 😂

[@4evertrue830]

This board game should have been a Tv/cable reality show game like big brother with real online influencers (or any group of young teens) in on it. The influencers will be changed every season to make it more exciting. It would have gone viral and brought in $$$millions for this guy.

It's so painful when people who have never played a board game other than Monopoly and Snakes and Ladders try to design a board game in the 21st century. It's like trying to design video games after only playing Pac-Man and Minesweeper.

[@DBsNature]

Minesweeper was created in the 1990's. Your statement is like saying minesweeper shouldn't have been made because more interesting games were made before it.

I think the reason why cards against humanity and what do you meme are huge is because they’re funny. People love to laugh. And you get to create unique combinations where you can infer inside jokes from. And cards are easy to set up and bring with you

I think we can all agree that no one would buy this.

[@ChintanCG]

Every influencer wants a feastables

[@baxoutthebox5682]

I think he wanted a deal he’s just a dumdum. The guy genuinely believed his company was worth that much, he also believed he’d sell 1m on day 1, and seemed perplexed by the idea that investors want more than their initial investment back. He needs to hit the books and skip the gym.

[@hughjaynus4374]

that fact they knew of him, must be doing something right.

[@ryantube485]

Tank missed the fact that many people are annoyed by influencers in the wild and rarely want to become one. The premise of this game seems like a better fit for teens but the medium (board game) is adult.

[@JoeCharogoff]

Know your shark, and know your customers. The game should be going around the neighborhood/dorm getting likes for doing things like dancing or giving away candy or something. That's gen Z style.

[@SmokeDog1871]

Just the fact that this guy is a huge influencer and yet none of his followers are buying the product is a huge red flag that the game sucks. Alot of people come on the show to get the shark's followers and exposure to take their great but unknown products to market. How is a shark and their money going to help him sell to his already huge follower base? This guy just seems funny but not much else going on up in that head of his.
