Founder of EverlyWell, Julia Cheek, entered
This Sleep & Stress Test helps you check into fluctuations of 3 vital hormones needed for a restful night's sleep and may help you determine why you've been struggling with sleep lately, all from the convenience of home.
In fact, she started her company because she personally spent months trying to solve a health problem that ended up being a common hormone imbalance. Ultimately, she had to take a lot of tests, which in the end, cost her a lot of time and money.
In the end, she was left with unexpected lab bills and results that she didn’t understand. This is when she determined to create a better way.
The average test kit costs between $100 and $300. Julia expressed to the sharks that it was generally more convenient, and affordable for customers to purchase home testing kits from her website, rather than visiting a doctor’s office in person.
EverlyWell has more than $2.5 million in product sales and continues to have a 20% growth rate every single month. Further, she expects to hit $5 million in gross revenue and product sales in the near future.
With an optimistic projection for the next calendar year, Julia believes her company could eventually reach $12 million in gross sales as well.
Although, Mark Cuban believes it will take too much money, and that there will be too much competition. For these reasons, he is out.
Likewise, Barbara Corcoran is concerned that the company will require constant re-development. She also thinks it will take too much money, so she is out next.
Robert Herjavec is frustrated with the high cost of health care in America, and although this could be a solution, it’s not for him. He is out next.
Guest shark Rohan Oza believes in what Julia is doing. However, as other sharks pointed out, he says it will take several million dollars to accomplish success, so he is out.
Lori Greiner decides to make an offer of $1 million in exchange for 5% equity, however, the deal includes a contingency. The money offered will be a loan at 8% interest per year until it is returned fully.
Julia thinks about making a counteroffer but ultimately decides to accept Lori’s offer.
