The Shark Tank Pitch
Founders Ryan Kutscher and Craig Carey had been in business for just 10.5 months with $230,000 in sales and a projected $500,000 for 2025. They had achieved a 100% ROI on their initial investment and started by selling directly from a pickup truck.
The Deal
Lori Greiner, Rashaun Williams, and Robert Herjavec teamed up for $300,000 for 12% equity, giving the brand three Sharks with complementary skills in retail, finance, and business development.
