The Pitch that Almost Got Shark Tank Cancelled

[@4purs]

So I actually know the cousin of that Asian lady with the app. And what rly happened was they booked her to be on the show but then didn’t actually get her on the show until a year and a half later. So in that time the company grew a lot and she got other investments. On a side note she was already very rich. Her husband is like some rich Singaporean businessman who made some sort of accounting software.

I don't see the problem, they're promoting a cute story for the show and PR opportunity for the sharks.

He meant that you can not offer the entrepreneur less than what they came here asking for (rules of the show so entrepreneurs don't ask for 10M for 5%). And Richard offered $300k because he's new to the show. The water thingy happened in a different moment but they edited it in a funny way. Still a great episode.
