Shark Tank Flipoutz Update
- Entrepreneur: The Johnson Family
- Business: Toy bracelet accessory
- Ask: $100,000 for 20% equity
- Result: $100,000 for 33% equity
- Shark: Daymond John, Kevin O’Leary, and Robert Herjavec
The Johnson family brought Flipoutz to
Each family member spoke about what they contributed to the concept, and Erin passed around samples to the sharks. Flipoutz is a silicone bracelet with 5 personalized coins that kids wear, trade, and track online.
Impressed by the kids, Robert Herjavec asked them about sales. Lachlan shared that they’ve only been selling for six months and have sold over $20,000 in products.
Kevin O’Leary asks them where they sell the product, and the family shares that it is mainly online sales and through a partnership with a souvenir distributor.
Daymond John asks about the cost, and the family says they make one bracelet and one coin for $0.69. Further, the bracelet then retails for $4.99.
He then wants to know how the coins can be tracked online. Jake explains the process, sharing that each user creates a history for each coin.
Robert asks how much money has been spent so far and Jake says his parents have invested around $250,000 in the business, which has mostly gone into the website.
Kevin O. asks what makes it stand out and Emily says they have a patent pending for the code on the back.
Barbara Corcoran has concerns over the patent, so she drops out. Kevin Harrington goes out next because he thinks the product is too risky.
Emily and Robin add that they’re in the process of closing a deal for a huge purchase order with a company paying for 30% of the inventory upfront.
This makes Daymond put an offer on the table of $100,000 for 33%, contingent on patent approval.
Kevin O. asks Robert if he will team up with him, and remove Daymond from the equation. They also offer $100,000 for 33%.
Daymond responds by lowering his stake and changing his offer to $100,000 for 25%. Kevin O. asks the family to leave while the sharks confer.
When they return, Kevin O. offers the same deal of $100,000 for 33% equity. However, this time both Robert and Daymond are on board. Jake counters with $150,000 for 33% equity.
Daymond and Robert step out of the counter and Kevin O. offers a 3-shark deal of $100,000 for 33% equity of Flipoutz. The kids accept and leave
