The sharks were skeptical and many of them dropped out right after the conclusion of her pitch. Kevin O’Leary was the first shark to drop out of the negotiations. It didn’t take long for the rest to follow. Robert Herjavec dropped out because he didn’t see a return on investment, while the others simply didn’t think it was the right investment for them.
