Founders of Cave Shake, Holly Heath, and Billie Cavallaro, brought their healthy diet vegan shakes to
They’re dairy free, gluten free, low carb, keto, and paleo. Additionally, they come ready to drink, so they’re perfect for on the go.
Further, a Cave Shake is great for a pre or post workout drink. The sharks want to know about calories, but when they learn that there are 450 calories per shake, they become a bit concerned.
However, Billie points out that they are intended for the Keto diet, which focuses on high fat intake. Holly adds that you shouldn’t really be concerned with calorie intake anyways.
The founders eventually pass out samples to the sharks and everyone seems to like them except for Robert Herjavec. In fact, he says they taste terrible.
Billie responds that it could be the stevia sweetener that he doesn’t like, and that 1 out of a hundred people don’t prefer it.
After talking a little bit about the nutritional facts of their Cave Shake beverage, Holly and Billie started talking a little bit about their sales and manufacturing costs. They revealed that they currently have a price point of $7.99 in the Southern California stores that they currently sell in, while only having an average cost of production of just under $2 per unit.
Net sales were just above $270,000 in 2017 and were expected to double in 2017 to around $450,000. The biggest problem started when they revealed to the sharks that an incubator had equity in their business.
This raised a whole lot of problems with Kevin O’Leary, specifically because he claimed that there was no way to invest in Cave Shake given their current situation with the incubator. He decided to drop out and not make an offer to them.
Robert Herjavec also dropped out, because he didn’t like the taste of the beverage.
Mark Cuban likes the project, but he thinks it will take too much work on his end. He eventually drops out.
Lori Greiner doesn’t like how many calories are in each shake, so for that reason she drops out.
However, Charles Barkley remained in, and made an offer of $250,000 for 20% equity. Holly and Billie decided to accept the offer from Charles, after taking a few moments to think about it.
