Shark Tank Chefee Robotics Pitch

• Entrepreneur: Assaf Pashut
• Business: Robotic chef
• Ask: $500,000 for 4% equity
• Result: $500,000 for 15% equity
• Shark: Kevin O’Leary

Assaf entered Shark Tank and introduced Chefee Robotics as the world’s first embedded robotic chef that can plan meals, track nutrition, cook, and order groceries

He broke down how it works. Users stock the machine with ingredients once a week, then open the Chefee app to select a meal. After that, the system takes over.

Assaf explained that Chefee includes two main components. The upper unit, which fits into a standard kitchen cabinet, stores the ingredients. It has a refrigerated section on the left and a dry storage area on the right.

The lower unit handles the cooking. Once a meal is ordered, Chefee dispenses and weighs the ingredients, then sends them to the lower compartment for preparation.

To simplify shopping, the app integrates with Instacart and Amazon Fresh, allowing users to restock groceries without leaving home.

Mark Cuban asked about pricing. Assaf said the base model costs $9,500, while premium versions can reach $50,000. Higher-tier models can handle more ingredients, which allows for a greater variety of meals.

Barbara Corcoran asked if the product was already available in the market. Assaf confirmed that Chefee was still pre-revenue.

However, he said he had a $500,000 signed letter of intent from a luxury kitchen remodeling firm in Palm Springs. He also mentioned a strong interest from Wolf Sub-Zero, a premium kitchen appliance brand.

Mark then asked why they hadn’t started shipping units.

Assaf explained that he needed $500,000 to begin manufacturing. So far, he had already raised $450,000 from another investor and had invested $90,000 of his own money.

He added that manufacturing the base unit costs $1,500 in materials and $1,000 in labor.

Despite the pitch, the sharks had concerns.

Barbara went out first. She liked the concept but didn’t trust the execution.

Robert Herjavec followed. He said there were simpler and cheaper meal prep solutions already on the market.

Lori Greiner said she didn’t see Chefee fitting into consumer habits, so she passed as well.

Mark had questions about the technology and wasn’t satisfied with Assaf’s answers. He also dropped out.

That left only Kevin O’Leary. He offered $500,000 for 15% equity. Assaf countered with 8%, but Kevin declined. Assaf then tried to meet him at 12%, but Kevin still refused.

Not wanting to lose the opportunity, Assaf accepted Kevin’s original offer of $500,000 for 15% equity.

Shark Tank Chefee Robotics Update

Research for our Chefee Robotics update revealed that the deal made on Shark Tank with Kevin O’Leary did, in fact, close successfully after the show.

Assaf later confirmed in a May 2024 interview with The Spoon that they were officially working together.

Following Kevin’s advice, Assaf decided to focus on high-end homes first before going mass market. This would give them a chance to fine-tune the product in controlled environments before scaling.

Not long after the episode aired in March 2024, Chefee started attracting serious attention from global tech companies and appliance brands.

Big names like Sony, Samsung, and companies from India, Denmark, England, Australia, and Canada reached out about possible partnerships. It was clear the buzz from the show had done its job.

In June 2024, Chefee opened reservations for early customers.

Those who signed up got some nice perks: $1,000 off the final price, another $1,000 in free groceries, and a refundable $250 deposit to lock in their spot.

The goal was to start shipping units in December of the same year, though this timeline could shift slightly as production scales.

As of 2025, Chefee is still in the pre-revenue stage, but it’s already brought in over $4 million in preorder commitments.

Meanwhile, Assaf has stayed closely involved in every part of the process.

Since Shark Tank, Assaf has spoken at events like GITEX 2024 in Dubai and the Smart Kitchen Summit, and he’s also scheduled to appear at CES 2025.

He’s filed several patents and raised over $750,000 in angel funding, adding to the Shark deal.
