PVC is only “toxic” when heated to high temperatures. To call it toxic at room temp is very misleading.

[@hollystiener16]

yup

[@happycanadianfarmer]

Totally agree 👍

[@Phreaqin]

Agreed - but to give benefit of the doubt, could it be the case that she’s expressing the process used to make them releases toxic chemicals, where theirs does not? (Of course this is still misleading the way it was presented)

[@slikskils1603]

All these supposedly savvy and intelligent sharks and they don't even know pvc carries all water in most homes

[@stuartgriffin5.7]

Came here to say this. It's a wonder we've all survived with modern day plumbing materials!

[@shevakhaimov9634]

why did they ask for a moment to see if "the panel" had anything else to say after Lori gave her initial offer? everyone else was already out LMAO.

[@kingkyrie5140]

Noticed that too 😂

[@markiss954]

They were nervous n forgot lol

[@BruhThereYouGo]

It could be an editing mistake as well.

[@ItsReloj]

Shocked they didn’t immediately take Lori’s offer. They were willing to give another 12% of their company instead of a $1 royalty that goes away with their $50+ profit margin.

[@702vindog]

What? They weren’t willing to do that, they didn’t take the counter lol

[@Hemosy]

Good point

[@singami465]

If you have to give the money back then it's not really an investment, it's a loan.

[@julianbanks1885]

@@singami465 Not really cuz Lori was also getting 15% equity which would still keep her incentivized after she gets her 100k back.

[@dancingqueen919]

They are still in business

[@fujikenza438]

The best moment of the clip Kevin: Alright, what are you doing Lori? Lori: What are you doing Kevin? These two have the best comedic moments.

[@tribzman3977]

Love seeing the unimpressed expressions on the Sharks' faces during the presentation. lol Plus, $86 is MASSIVELY OVERPRICED for a piece of basically, foldable foam!!

[@isabelbiggin4433]

That’s what I said! I’d never buy that for $86!

[@wrenboy2726]

Yeah but it’s non-toxic!! /s

[@houchi69]

I mean...for white women that's cheap.

[@TrulyYoursKelly]

I agree. It’s over priced.

[@oneneighboraway4945]

I agree, but Manduka which is what I have is 130-160 (which is ridiculous) but when I saw this it didn’t look lasting, since the material was pinched together, and that normally rips. I prefer a regular yoga mat.

[@RickMGPinto]

They could have accepted the inicial offer (100k for 15% + 1$ royalty), and as soon as the money had been recouped, Lori would have to bring equity down to 10% or less... it would have been a smarter move.

[@pbfoley]

I about lost it at the tricep dip and incline push-up demo 😂

[@julianolivar9453]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@YiLi-xs6ft]

hahaahaa that 2" dip dawg HAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[@shivnathlongani]

Making more than 40$ a unit and scared to pay 1$ was stupid. Lori's offer was in their interest... They were smart looking but stupid in real.

[@saikishan2008]

Really dumb move by them

[@shoansnoday1768]

The negotiatied an extra 25k to put towards the business. Lori knew that and probably already had that number in her head.

[@danduran4981]

They got the royalty down to .75 cents. Smart if you ask me.

[@ashleynonthe6277]

paying $1 a unit stacks up so prob not stupid 💀

[@MultiJejje]

@@shoansnoday1768 No they didn't. They still have to pay this 100k back. Just because royalty went down to 75c does not mean they saved $25k. They just pay it back slower. Sometimes I wonder how this comment section is so clueless about simple things.

[@Chevyguy723]

What I loved about this is, you never know how much someone will negotiate until you try, this was a lesson!

[@acesofglory]

The guest shark is right, almost no one is gonna ditch their current yoga mat to buy this. The exercises they did can also be used without the mat, so I don't really see a point besides the convenience of folding nicely.

[@willdemaray774]

I thought Kevin was very respectful and asked good questions and all the other sharks were just making fun of him the whole time lol

[@WD00777]

Like the guest shark? Haha

[@starblaster321]

They been together for over a decade, they all roast each other its nbd

[@robin212212]

it's highly edited; they probably spent more than 10 minutes discussing the deal

[@mohamedsheikh9664]

4:45 her experience is in startups: restaurants, dental, retail? Wth...she basically worked at a restaurant, as a dentist front desk clerk, and retail but said "start ups".

[@joshmccraney4020]

Exactly. And “fintech” had me suspicious. No chance she was programmatic. I’m guessing reception judging by her response

[@yousufibrahim884]

I honestly don't know why she said that... I checked her LinkedIn and it doesn't show she's worked in those places, but it does show that she's worked at tech start-ups as a business development rep and account executive. Weird.

[@k6maz]

When doing business, you gotta sell yourself up a little

[@BestMotivationalVideos123]

I worked with her. She worked for a tech dental startup as an account executive, pitching clients all day. The company creates and sells dental software from managing patients in office, to payments and billing, and handling booking of appointments online. So no, not a front desk clerk. Very smart and quick on her feet. Proven in sales

[@unplugged9650]

The fact Lori agreed on a 75cents royalty when they have a 50$+ in profit is something I will never understand

[@moogleking]

Greed, pure greed on those ladies

[@bxfrommtl]

I love Lori she is always honest in her valuation and all around a decent business woman

[@jamesr1703]

The folds in these mats are going to accelerate cracking, tearing and their demise. I would never pay $84 for this mat.

[@matthewschannel6920]

its part of their strategy so that people would rebuy their mats after its demise

[@wrenboy2726]

No one will. Because they’re actually $86.

[@TrulyYoursKelly]

You made a good point.

[@therealnegan8854]

Did you guys see the unusual shark lady smile everytime the camera is on her face and the fake writing got me dead at 3:45 XD

[@ghizibenhlal7888]

😂 yes

[@dantenewyork7380]

mark understandably was disappointed in that 'startup' sales - common...restaurants? dentist office? not exactly techstars

[@tribzman3977]

yeah, loved ow she had to hesitate to figure out what she was going to say. And when she id, it was a letdown in his eyes

[@Davidsworldtravels]

Yea those aren’t exactly ‘startups’ as commonly referred to. Those are just small local services and working for them could mean being a receptionist.

[@dantenewyork7380]

@@Davidsworldtravels yep ...and that she had the temerity to think they wouldn't see right through that is illustrative of an outsized ego

[@WD00777]

I thought that was odd too but they could just be nervous or soft spoken.

[@atamjitsinghh]

86$ for a matt? Nonsense!

[@zznams2426]

[@JoelGarcia-io6ov]

Lori was too nice to them That first offer seemed great

[@robinabernathy2829]

Second woman seemed almost hesistant to admit what she did for a living.

[@jlassonful]

"fin tech" :)

[@jwayne4225]

The first one threw out worked in “startups my whole career.” When that is used on this show it means lots of different things but most commonly when talking about non-traditional innovative/disruptive businesses. I don’t think anyone was expecting her to say restaurants and dentists as in probably local one location traditional businesses.

[@PathosConsultingGroup]

@@jwayne4225start up really means potential for rapid growth. A new dentist’s office or restaurant doesn’t have that capacity

[@yousufibrahim884]

I checked her LinkedIn out and it shows that she matter of fact did work in fintech at Bloomberg.

[@ashleymorris8705]

I’m all for it! Roll mats drive me nuts because they never fully unfold and become creased and wrinkled. Other mats are too thin or rough on the skin

[@nwijesinghe]

roll it backwards so that it curves towards the floor.

[@oeao2841]

Turn it around 😂

[@pranavnaik1068]

To save 0.25 cent not even till perpetuity they gave up 5% compared to the original offer LOL

[@jackpassfield9141]

Has to be a joke. It raises like 40mm 😂

[@B-RaDD]

I don't do these workouts nor do I workout in general😅 but isn't the mat stacked together about the size of those typical yoga blocks?

[@Silvaback413]

The product looks great but I’m not about half reppin’ dips 😅

[@WD00777]

That guest shark got triggered when Kevin said, “let’s say it has merit.” Hahaha IT HAS MERIT

[@srujansrujan5076]

Lori the genuine shark 💜

[@dlross173]

This is just a really basic, non-idea. I don't get why this is supposed to be so revolutionary.

[@stevencurrall6944]

It's not, it's another stupid useless gimmick that people don't need and does nothing

[@calebharrower9215]

I can't believe they over negotiated so hard to save 25 cents/ unit lol

[@doctor_oj]

Could someone explain the logic of giving away more of the company than the initial royalty offer? Also, whether it is $1 or .75 cents royalty until $100k is paid off, surely over time it works out the same? I don't understand the logic.

[@AaronGutierrezYT]

Every time Daymond and Barbara (when there) are about to go out, I glaze over them. Always out for a dumb reason. Never no constructive feedback.

[@kingkyrie5140]

Daymond is the absolute worst shark he’s out before the pitch even starts

[@AaronGutierrezYT]

@@kingkyrie5140 👏🏻 thank you! Exactly. Just look at the guys with the trophy business and why he went out. Or the cup cake business. Going out while eating the cupcake. For years I thought Barbara was the worst one, but now I’m here for her “For those reasons I’m out.” And her back and forth with Kevin.

[@Adrianlover89]

$86.00. No thanks. I will use cardboard instead. It's cheaper.

Shut up please ☺️

[@spyk_316]

I am a Crossfitter and though this mat may have some merit, in reality its a total waste of money. Those "extra" benefits that they talk of for triceps, push ups etc is just not going to work with those who are serious with their workouts - these guys will always do it on a proper machine. This is just another piece of totally unwanted accessory for gym goers. Unbelievable Lori even offered something.

[@Dan16673]

Yeah its trash but lori sells trash all day on tv to stupid americans

Business aside, stakt looks like it would do well with the yoga influencer crowd. It hits on that premium quality + pastel colors that young women influencers and Gen Z would love.
