Do you think Kevin's deal was greedy or fair?

[@Nonegiven14582]

Those guys were prize idiots for walking away Reggae sauce gave away a ton of equity and now he's a rich man?

[@Brian-hd4rb]

He had leverage by being the only shark that made an offer. The offer is fair. Either you take it or you don't.

[@Euphria89]

Greedy. They had the intellectual property.

[@KRINGEmusik]

Selling only 5 units and knowing the sharks provide more than just money, I’m sure they knew 5% wasn’t going to fly. The sharks would have to do so much work.

[@DocRealTalk]

Unlike the Sharks, most human beings actually place value on THEIR ideas and THEIR time and THEIR investment in getting patents.

[@PracticalPerry]

Agreed. They should have taken the deal, and/or, countered and asked for Kevin to take 20%, instead of 25%.

[@KRINGEmusik]

@@DocRealTalk but when you’re talking about “value” the business doesn’t have much of it, because it has 5 sales. All the money/time/ideas/patents into something that only generated 5 sales gives it a low value. Kevin wasn’t being unreasonable. I think they wanted the Shark Tank promo

Totally agree. Especially when you consider Barbara's point that this has yet to be in the hands of consumers, so it's unknown what the response is, return rate ect. For a gamble on a new company his offer was very fair

[@Nich_B23]

Yeah I honestly think that was there chance to make the company take off. If they really valued the product that much, they’d be willing to give up a quarter of it just to guarantee you get it into the hands of consumers and quickly. The end goal would be to share it with the world

[@haralds4145]

What they dont understand is that giving the sharks a huge part is good, cause with 25% ownership he is willing to put in money in the company at nearly no interesr all the time if he see a good path. For examplenthe 200k certification when they figured out a good consumer product he will pay with no hesistation

[@IGiveTheBestTakes]

They gave several clear reasons why they are currently not consumer based and a clear path and desire to become consumer based and all of the sharks advice was "why dont you go consumer based???"

Right. This makes it seem like they weren't emphasizing their next steps were to use the money to go direct to consumer though. It sounded like they were open to it but it wasn't their plan coming in.

[@ZayyyCertified]

Should definitely be a consumer product and version for soley counting reps for $59.99. Feel like a lot of people will not care about the data analytics to pay $200 especially if you’re already an Apple Watch user. Now if they marketed with a focus of something along the lines of “allow the metric mate to count the reps for you so you can focus on making the reps count,” and you could analyze the reps data after a workout and assess where you can adjust your weight on exercises to hit your desired rep range. Now that would be something I could see a lot of gymgoers willing to pay for

Agreed. They can take their tech and put it into a sweat band. That way they have a product for free weights and machines.

[@NoirTech83]

I'm a gym owner and fitness trainer and I wouldn't waste my time with this. This product is just one more thing to keep track of, to charge, update, download, upload, and distract you in the gym. It can only be used on machines that use a pin for the weight, you'd have to stop and change the exercise on the app so the pin knows, and different brands of machines have different ideas of what a real weight is.

[@nicolaslessard6073]

Kevin's offers them to counter, but then he says he's not budging lol.

[@wht2686]

I get it that consumers want it more, but you kinda need the gyms to approve of its use. After all, altering gym equipment is risky and can cause death and injuries. The device may not be compatible with all equipment. Honestly, they are better off doing a SaaS business for fitness trainers and gyms. They should partner with gym equipment manufacturers so that their technology can be integrated with the equipment safely, and that also provides a channel for global expansion. Secondly, that was such a low ball offer. They have a patent, 2 engineers and a lawyer. They can easily get 100k. And they didn't even need the manufacturing support provided. Well, they probably cut the video so much that a lot of information was lost to make the participants seem ignorant.
