Mark Cuban's offer of 200K for 33% is without a doubt a fair offer. Why? Because at the time, Coatchex had 0 sales and was just a pilot program. So, Cuban immediately saw how much work it was going to take to get traction going.

[@SharkTankGlobal]

@@SharkTankGlobal Exactly. Had CoatChex had any sales and verified partnership with various bars and other venues, then Cuban can sort out whether 15% or 20% is justified.

[@brooklyndecember]

[@brooklyndecember]

The app was NEVER tested. Didn't you hear? It was too warm in Indianapolis lol. It took the guy years and years of testing and investors plus a name change to be successful. He went in too early and didn't want to budge on equity, can't have it both ways.

[@deaddave9739]

On one hand, it made sense that since it was untested, they wouldn’t be willing to give him much without a whole lot of equity, so marks deal was fair and maybe even a little generous from his standpoint, willing to take that big of a risk for 33% But on the other hand, it makes perfect sense that the company owner wouldn’t want to give away 33% of his company, it’s just not worth it His business partner made the right call telling him to say no, and the other sharks only called him crazy because from their standpoint, marks offer was generous, but regardless, he’s not making a mistake by choosing not to take that.

[@MsFunology]

Glad that they made it till now. Feel bad for the guy at first. But then I saw the update that the company is worth around 7 million now and still thriving. So, may be, it's not such a bad idea to turn down Mark.

[@mrhaltonok]

I think that’s just an arbitrary valuation based on a guess. More than a decade on, they’ve got a few big single venue clients like MOMA but they’ve never expanded like they thought they could - I’d say the main issue is that most venues already have systems that people are used to, so spending a lot of money on a complete new install and maintaining that isn’t too attractive. Nobody’s increasing their business just by installing a more expensive coat check

If you think this guy is going to be a successful enterprise systems and software R&D leader, 20% is worth $200K. Point-of-sale technology is an important category.
