I love that humbleness. Admitting that he may have made a mistake and pursuing them with a deal was extremely cool.

[@spliffi869]

I'm pretty sure what drove him is greed for profit and not humbleness. Respectable indeed though that he admitted his mistake publicly and doesn't try to play Mr Oh-so-cool.

[@amagohom]

@@spliffi869 They had no deal, walked away with nothing and left the room. I’m pretty sure at that point when he showed up they would’ve accepted any deal desperately, he did not use that, he did not even take more than %10, there is no way you can call that greed..

Nirav only went in in the end because he felt bad, not because he really was into the product. That would've been a red flag for me!

[@beep5890]

Right?? I mean obviously the sharks know a toooon more than I do when it comes to this, but their main points were that it was too early and they needed to get on social media. If the biggest issue is getting on social media, well a) the sharks have social platforms and b) that sounds like a relatively easy issue to solve compared to others that have pitched on the show

Experience bro.

[@icarrytbh]

it’s a great idea. it would do great in daycares preschools etc. to me kids are already germy but kids around other kids are even worse so making something that’s not fun to them more like a art project will make them more prone to wanting to wash their hands even when they don’t need to.

[@icarrytbh]

also fact soapen net worth is $2million today

I honestly thought Lori would have made them some kind of offer. This would've "cleaned up" on QVC I think

Search for my comment and read about the dangers of artificial food grade dyes.

Shark Tank Producers: How scripted do you want it? Sharks: Yes!

[@ZevMeth_originaljewishmusic]

This is one of the best and most clever products I have ever seen pitched in the tank, the sharks must've been high for not investing!

[@blackout07blue]

The product really needs to be refined if you ask me, having bought it. Was tough to write with consistently. Kids loved it, when the roller-point of the pen wrote.

[@glumreaper8885]

It's not like they can just magic a marketing team out of thin air. When they say it's too early, it's it's too early to just add money. These entrepreneurs didn't have an answer to a basic marketing question, and it's clear that they're great scientists and ingenious engineers and are very new to business. The larger company as a whole needs staff to get off from that launch point. $100k investment from Nirav basically just pays a marketer for a year, and if the product falls through after that, they're sunk.

[@serpentes9818]

No the product isnt that good and doesnt really solve the problems they said

[@TrueDirection]

@@serpentes9818 Exactly right. How can you touch the thing you're supposed to be washing your hands with and then touch the thing again after you've washed your hands to put it away again?
