Shark Tank US | Muff Waders Pitch Their Handy Product To The Sharks

[@Cardo2004]

When this aired on live TV, the town of Holstein was so excited and it was the talk of the town so many people gathered to watch it together.

[@richardcalisi9188]

That is so cool...I hope they do well. Cheers from Canada.

These guys are probably the coolest entrepreneurs I've seen on shark tank in a while. I'm usually in on this show out of interest in startups, but these guys really just made me laugh the entire time and I loved seeing how confident they were in themselves. Even though they didn't get a deal, they're definitely going to succeed considering how much love and passion they have for their silly yet handy product.

[@henrypeters5291]

They ended up getting bought out for an undisclosed amount. They are probably doing fine.

For once someone has a reasonable (if not low) valuation, multiple patents, really cool product and good margins and nobody takes them on. Makes you wonder if over-valuing the company so it doesn't feel too small for the shark's time is the right way to go

[@hittingyouoverthehead]

It definitely is. Especially with Mr. Wonderful, it's a very easy way to manipulate him into a deal. If the product is decent but your valuation is too high, he always feels the need to correct your valuation by making an offer on what he feels is the right valuation. And also the same goes for other sharks as well but not as much.

[@Davidsworldtravels]

I mean you can tell it just doesn’t fit. Robert and Lori are def not the market for this and in fact their customers would prob turn on them if those were the spokespeople. And Damon said it himself that they are already doing fine and he wouldn’t add much to it. They will be fine it’s not like this needs to be pitched on QVC or by the Mavs

[@adriancordero2165]

I think it’s the sales for them tbh because it did seem like a good deal

[@oknice8325]

What an investor should provides besides money is growth potential and none of them have any direct experiences or investments with this type of business... Think about this, ever see some comedy actor who does alot of comedy (ie Kevin Hart) do a horror movie? Probably not... But if he has wouldn't feel a bit strange to you and the movie wouldn't be as scary. Thus it would lose out on its horror aspects. Basically you want the right guy for the right job to get the best potential growth.

On a side note I agree the business and the two guys are spot on with their pitch.

Not getting a deal was the best thing that could’ve happened to them. Now there will be other investors hitting them up and they will be just as effective without the premium cost of one of the sharks. Not just that, they got the exposure.

Yes the manufacturing is in China , but that a piece of the pie. There warehousing/ customers service would be jobs for the small town. Just because a product is made in china doesn’t mean that company doesn’t provide jobs in America

[@GlobalTossPot]

You do realize products can be made in China but companies still have to do the logistics of it. A small distribution warehouse in their hometown can bring in jobs. You could have jobs from unloading the product when it arrives, packing and fulfillment, marketing and numbers etc. Plenty of jobs to be seen locally

[@dersimerkan5710]

The "Shark Tank Effect" will rewards these guys greatly. This clip is already blowing up... free advertising galore.

[@Louis-vk1gx]

After hundreds of episodes, this one managed to make me laugh the entire time from happiness and positivity. These 2 guys are amazing, I hope they succeed.

[@GUIDESPERSPECTIVE]

Damn. Finally someone comes in with some reasonable valuation, doesn't ask for much money, basically peanuts to the sharks and offers 25% of the company. Pretty lame that the sharks couldn't throw these guys a few bucks. They would get their money back so fast. Disappointing to say the least. One of the sharks could of easily gotten these guys a licensing deal with some sports teams on the clothing for tailgating. I really think the sharks blew it.

[@fr00tloops]

Couldn't agree more. They have such unique patents for the products....its an instant deal. Hell, Kevin could've just offered a royalty deal and made the money back rather quickly.

I think Daymond actually did what was right for the company. If he took 25% and wasn't able to help after that, that would be the ultimate dick move.
