Do you think Kevin's deal was greedy or fair?

[@Nonegiven14582]

Those guys were prize idiots for walking away Reggae sauce gave away a ton of equity and now he's a rich man?

[@Brian-hd4rb]

He had leverage by being the only shark that made an offer. The offer is fair. Either you take it or you don't.

[@Nonegiven14582]

Even 49% of a big company is better place to be in than most get to. Saying that. If you aren't on Dragons Den or Shark tank. They'll buy/force you out long before your shares are really worth something.@@Brian-hd4rb

[@gamingnguitar4527]

Totally agree. Especially when you consider Barbara's point that this has yet to be in the hands of consumers, so it's unknown what the response is, return rate ect. For a gamble on a new company his offer was very fair

[@Nich_B23]

Yeah I honestly think that was there chance to make the company take off. If they really valued the product that much, they’d be willing to give up a quarter of it just to guarantee you get it into the hands of consumers and quickly. The end goal would be to share it with the world

[@haralds4145]

What they dont understand is that giving the sharks a huge part is good, cause with 25% ownership he is willing to put in money in the company at nearly no interesr all the time if he see a good path. For examplenthe 200k certification when they figured out a good consumer product he will pay with no hesistation

[@Brian-hd4rb]

He had leverage by being the only shark that made an offer. The offer was fair in my opinion. Either you take it or you don't

[@shawnmiller6522]

You could tell Mark and Lori were trying to encourage them to take the deal because they knew Kevin could really help them. You could see the pain on their faces when they rejected Kevin's offer. Mark and Lori are good people, always trying to help the entrepreneurs even if they are not in the deal.

[@KRINGEmusik]

Selling only 5 units and knowing the sharks provide more than just money, I’m sure they knew 5% wasn’t going to fly. The sharks would have to do so much work.

[@DocRealTalk]

Unlike the Sharks, most human beings actually place value on THEIR ideas and THEIR time and THEIR investment in getting patents.

[@PracticalPerry]

Agreed. They should have taken the deal, and/or, countered and asked for Kevin to take 20%, instead of 25%.

[@KRINGEmusik]

@@DocRealTalk but when you’re talking about “value” the business doesn’t have much of it, because it has 5 sales. All the money/time/ideas/patents into something that only generated 5 sales gives it a low value. Kevin wasn’t being unreasonable. I think they wanted the Shark Tank promo

I like this concept. Having the personal trainers and gyms confidence in the product will make it credible for consumers. The trust with personal trainers who knows what they're doing vs you is a very smart move.

Good luck hopefully one day I can try it for myself. 👌🏽

I'm sure that in a year 25% won't look so bad after all.

[@sambasiva940]

why is it so low volume?

[@wht2686]

I get it that consumers want it more, but you kinda need the gyms to approve of its use. After all, altering gym equipment is risky and can cause death and injuries. The device may not be compatible with all equipment. Honestly, they are better off doing a SaaS business for fitness trainers and gyms. They should partner with gym equipment manufacturers so that their technology can be integrated with the equipment safely, and that also provides a channel for global expansion. Secondly, that was such a low ball offer. They have a patent, 2 engineers and a lawyer. They can easily get 100k. And they didn't even need the manufacturing support provided. Well, they probably cut the video so much that a lot of information was lost to make the participants seem ignorant.
