Shark Tank US | Flated Product Makes Van Life Easier

[@lilaisamom]

Learning that Kevin owns a Ford150 is the most interesting thing about this pitch.

[@joshnlevinson]

🤣

[@katters4368]

He asked a hypothetical question in order to get necessary information regarding the product… he does this all the time. He wasn’t saying he actually owns a Ford F150… there is nothing secret or special or deep about Kevin. He is very surface level predicable, shallow, and unapologetically realistic. He probably wouldn’t own a F150, just as everyone would not expect him to.

[@ayb2522]

@@katters4368he (infamously) has a boat, it’s not that much of a stretch to believe that he has a truck to tow it

[@PutnameHere-fj1ke]

That's such a hood deal, it's a make it or break it deal. 2500 units to sell before he gets his finding back, but 5% on a high value asset is good numbers for both but also for a niche product, but daymond ain't stupid, this will include future products too.

[@tuilleri]

It’s a good deal for the investor or the company ?😊

[@jpark28]

Wow haven't seen Daymond make a deal in awhile

Daymond doesn't get picked as often when he's against other Sharks (not necessarily due to race) so he likes to make offers when he's the only one left.

No one should worry about s corps or llc until your buisness turns profit or you need a legal entity for payment processor it's just a way of lowering personal liability and you can file the paperwork at through your state and state website save money.

[@Wlad-v2w]

Starting an LLC or S Corp after reaching profitability or needing liability protection is sensible, but early formation has benefits too. An LLC offers liability coverage and simpler management, while an S Corp can lower self-employment taxes for higher income. Consulting a professional ensures you choose the best fit as your business grows.

[@PajinakStanovska]

Using pre-tax contributions in an LLC or S Corp can reduce taxable income during high-earning years, while post-tax contributions like Roth options can ease taxes in retirement, creating a balanced tax strategy.

Flated, a company that appeared on Shark Tank Season 14 Episode 16 in 2020, has made waves in the inflatable storage solutions industry. Founded by Ryan Guay, Dan Watts, Monique Keefer, and Ken Hoeve, Flated pitched their innovative products to the Sharks, seeking a $350k investment for 5% equity at a $7 million valuation. Ultimately, they caught the attention of Daymond John, who believed in their vision and made a deal on the show. Today, Flated is estimated to be worth $7 million, a testament to their success and the impact of their appearance on Shark Tank.

Not just to save money, as said also space. As a European, in a lot of places storage comes at a premium yet they still want to take their car across the continent occasionally.

[@ksh6]

It was a good deal if these sharks actually help the company. You see, this is not a well doing company. Its founders are not even working full time in it. So, there is some risk. The good thing about royality is that the Shark makes money only if he is able to sell enough quantities of it. If the Shark is going to advertise these products and help it scale, then its very useful. If not, and still the company succeeds it is deadweight. Alternatively, they would have probably got 15% equity for 350k at best. That is equivalent of giving 15% of profit too. In this case atleast it is 5%. But difference is that this 5% is non dilluted, and should be given even if the company is loss making.
