I thought that as well. But these pitches are an hour long, sometimes longer so says Daymon on his YT page. So something must have come up during the hour pitch that the other sharks weren't interested in.

@@JazzyMarineVet Dayton also some are just a few minutes in length so there's no way to know how long he pitched for sure. He likely came on for extra visibility. For someone to claim 70,000 buyers emails on file, know that he needed to target YT videos that teach people to draw and then claim he doesn't know how else to monetize that list is a little disingenuous. There's literally a ton of KZbinrs he could have partnered with to teach the classes he claimed he wanted a shark to help set up. Something doesn't wash with his being there
