Shark Tank BootayBag Update
- Entrepreneur: Elly Gheno
- Business: Subscription underwear service for women
- Ask: $500,000 for 5%
- Result: $500,000 for 10%
- Shark: Kendra Scott
Elly brought her company BootayBag to
The great thing about these leggings is the design: V-line shaped seems perfectly accentuate your curves. The power mesh technology in her waistband slims and provides support. The fabric: Soft and "squat proof" non see-through fabric with power mesh compression technology.
During her pitch, Elly shared that BootayBag had earned $15 million in sales since it launched in 2016, despite starting with a $300 investment. However, despite large sales numbers, the company was only earning a 5% profit margin, at the time of filming, leaving very little room for error or growth.
Guest shark Kendra Scott was the first to get down to business. She offered Elly $500,000 for 10% equity, which excited Elly as she shared what a huge fan she was of Kendra’s.
Barbara Corcoran was next, convinced that she could help Elly improve on her margins. She offered $500,000 for 20% equity.
At this point, Kendra and Barbara agreed to go in together on Barbara’s offer, but the offer wouldn’t last.
Kevin O’Leary was also interested and offered $500,000 for 15% equity. Mark Cuban and Lori Greiner, were both impressed with Elly, but dropped out because she already had good offers on the table.
As Elly contemplated the offers, she countered Kendra and Barbara to no avail, and at the last moment, Kendra decided to drop out of the deal with Barbara. She once again offered $500,o00 for 10% equity, and Elly accepted the deal!
