Shark Tank US | Mr. Wonderful Gives Cycloramic Entrepreneur An Ultimatum

[@nermo.artist]

best pitch ever..... straight to the point - not exaggerated and corny

[@pidow]

The worst pitch ever. There is no emotional crying part in the pitch. Everyone know crying must be involved in every business pitch.

Well because when you have an idea, product, whatever, that speaks totally on its own because there's nothing like it, then all you have to do is accentuate the bare essence of the product. The novelty/ unique factor is one that stands out in all areas of life, not just business. The man is very smart, understands all of this.

Immediately after his original episode aired, Cycloramic enjoyed the fabled "'Shark Tank' bump," rocketing to the number one spot on iTunes. This led to $1.5 million in sales. However, Cycloramic couldn't sustain its sales after that year. Eventually, Francois used his tech know-how to start another digital photography company, Car360. It gives customers a full 360-degree views of a vehicle they might want to buy. Shortly before his "Shark Tank" update, Francois sold Car360 to Carvana for a cool $22 million.

He had a unique product to back his pitch. His product and innovation was working for him. And don't forget this is almost a decade old episode. This was big deal back then. After getting the deal, Bruno rebranded the product as Car360 and after some years sold it to Carvana for 22Million$.

[@hashemyehia6524]

Update on this guy, Years later he sold his company for 22 milions so it was pretty good for him eventually.

Not "eventually" it's good for him in general. Money isn't always about "quick" this is how the business went for him. So that is pretty good for him.

this doesn't work on iPhone 6, 7, 8, X, XR, and 11 since the edges are round, so I think this app would work only for a short time. The sharks were short sighted.

The fun fact is here Apple the following year changes the shape and it made the app useless for phones. But they pivoted to 360 photos for car dealerships and such using the patent. There’s an interview with mark cuban about it.

[@shicrapt]

I learned from this episode that Mark is forced to play nice with the other sharks in other episodes by offering generally the same investment as they do. But when he saw this product, he knew he wanted it so he upped the ante all the way up to $1M. But when Bruno suggested Mark and Lori team up, Mark had to ask Lori first if she could afford $500,000. Mark still could've easily gone for majority stake but he agreed to 50-50 with Lori.

Francois had to reinvent his business when iPhone 6 came out with a curved edge. He sold his next invention to Carvana for $22 million. Mark was pleased.

[@user-sr5kj6ej9z]

This was like a really good deal tbh.. He got Mark Cuban on his side who knows the business + got an additional shark and lowered the amount of equity loss. I think Mark really wanted the business because he saw the potential. But on the flip side Mark Cuban threw a high ball with the 30% equity with 1million, and then brought it down to 15%, which was probably what he was already aiming for. He knew the entrepreneur will request to lower the investment as well as the equity. Let's just say both won that deal.

[@fruitygranulizer540]

at first i thought the little stand came with the app, and i was like "who tf is gonna buy this and carry around a little stand everywhere?" but then he explained how it worked with the phones vibrations and it blew my mind. it's unbelievable that this isn't a staple feature in phones by now, its incredible. its a shame that the company was sold to caravana. great for the entrepreneur, he got his money's worth, but this technology could have gone further imo.
