Well because when you have an idea, product, whatever, that speaks totally on its own because there's nothing like it, then all you have to do is accentuate the bare essence of the product. The novelty/ unique factor is one that stands out in all areas of life, not just business. The man is very smart, understands all of this.

Immediately after his original episode aired, Cycloramic enjoyed the fabled "'Shark Tank' bump," rocketing to the number one spot on iTunes. This led to $1.5 million in sales. However, Cycloramic couldn't sustain its sales after that year. Eventually, Francois used his tech know-how to start another digital photography company, Car360. It gives customers a full 360-degree views of a vehicle they might want to buy. Shortly before his "Shark Tank" update, Francois sold Car360 to Carvana for a cool $22 million.

He had a unique product to back his pitch. His product and innovation was working for him. And don't forget this is almost a decade old episode. This was big deal back then. After getting the deal, Bruno rebranded the product as Car360 and after some years sold it to Carvana for 22Million$.

[@shicrapt]

I learned from this episode that Mark is forced to play nice with the other sharks in other episodes by offering generally the same investment as they do. But when he saw this product, he knew he wanted it so he upped the ante all the way up to $1M. But when Bruno suggested Mark and Lori team up, Mark had to ask Lori first if she could afford $500,000. Mark still could've easily gone for majority stake but he agreed to 50-50 with Lori.

this guy is a genious he had 3m+ valuation but with only 1 shark he let the sharks argue now he has 2 sharks while having 3m+ valuation

[@user-sr5kj6ej9z]

This was like a really good deal tbh.. He got Mark Cuban on his side who knows the business + got an additional shark and lowered the amount of equity loss. I think Mark really wanted the business because he saw the potential. But on the flip side Mark Cuban threw a high ball with the 30% equity with 1million, and then brought it down to 15%, which was probably what he was already aiming for. He knew the entrepreneur will request to lower the investment as well as the equity. Let's just say both won that deal.
