[@scottcamuto8410]

Company closed before pitch aired so they obviously discovered problems during her pitch. Maybe not all were aired though

[@foxernator]

She breaks even monthly and valued the company at 4.6m.... what is fishy about this? It's just a business that doesn't profit. So many insane valuations that make 0 profit. The number 1 principle of a business is to be profitable & so many businesses get this wrong. At a way smaller valuation they would have jumped at offers. Damon's comments though I agree - seem really weird no idea what he's chatting there.

[@Arthuur9]

I think it's because she is not making profits

[@vivs9314]

She closed down the business when this ep aired. Plus, she was breaking even/not making much profit while valuing the business pretty high, so it’s reasonable why the Sharks backed out.

she said she has hundreds of designers. giving maybe 3-5 designs each... now all of those designs needs to get vetted of copy/plagiarism to other designers... now, if one of those designs would even a tiny bit similar to another design, that said designer would target damon thinking he's rich and will just pay for the design. or sue... now if you're a small business, selling 5-10 of those. even a clear 1:1 copy, the main designer usually would just ignore you.

[@ezramusoke5994]

revenue is not 2M, her revenue is the monthly fee and commission ( around 600k). 7.6 times multiple on revenue

[@jmharris251]

I would wear 2 of the 4 outfits. I love what she's doing & her mission. But clothing is tricky. Many great designers have struggled & gone bankrupt. Do theres risk, & no guarantee on margins. If she really wanted a partner, her ask was too high. She doesn't know what pitfall lie head, or what she doesn't know. I think her biggest concern is returns, fit. And holding for 3 months & returning is a problem. I buy online, HSN, QVC, & sizing is always a problem, even among the Name designers. How do these fabrics wear?

[@Gratefulheart.]

Kevin loan deal with 12% interest, is this good rate in US? I mean why don't she go to the bank and take a loan? Since she is having 2m$ in sales ... is it still difficult to get bank loan in US?

[@melinadominguez679]

it’s not difficult to get a loan in the US, it’s actually very easy except inflation is crazy right now and interest rates are through the roof. it is definitely a high interest rate, but it seems he made it that high due to the risk. he’s also a shark investor, which makes him much more valuable than any other investor. a shark brings more value than just money, expertise, guidance, and a platform.

[@hellodestiny57]

The Sharks’s reasons for bowing out were very questionable. Since when does valuation stop them from at least making an offer they think is more reasonable? Daymond’s reason makes no sense. In that case, every single business a Shark invests has liability because of “deep pockets.” Anyway, I’m glad she kept her equity. Only Lori’s reason makes sense.

My understanding (which is probably way out to lunch since we only get a tiny snippet of the full pitch) is that he said because of the number of designers involved with the product line, he would have to vet every single designer to avoid some random person off the streets of California trying to sue him (textile copyright) because they know he has big pockets / money.

[@MPoweredChristianMinistries]

Too many of these entrepreneurs base their company’s value on total sales. That only works when you’re profitable in the right range! If you make zero profit because you break even every month your company is basically worth zero to an investor. Even if a shark were to bring her profit from $0/month to 1 million/year that’s only $100K if they owned 10%. It would take 4.6 years to get back their original investment and over 9 years to double it. If you own a nonprofit don’t go looking for an investor!
