Kudos Diapers Update | Shark Tank Season 14

Jeremy Davis

Kudos founder Amrita Saigal came to Shark Tank Season 14 to pitch her company that has redesigned disposable diapers to remove plastics and replaces them with a natural cotton-based alternative. She is seeking $250,000 in exchange for 5% equity of her company. Let’s see if the sharks are interested before we dive into the Kudos update and pitch recap. 

Shark Tank Kudos Update

Kudos Update

  • Entrepreneurs: Amrita Saigal
  • Business: Premium Disposable Baby Diapers
  • Ask: $250,000 for 5% equity
  • Result: $250,000 for 12% equity
  • Sharks: Gwyneth Paltrow and Mark Cuban

Kudos has only been in existence for about a year, and Amrita told the sharks that she had generated about $850,000 in revenue up to this point. All of the company’s sales come from direct-to-consumer methods, primarily through its website.

Amrita told the sharks that she’s raised a few million dollars in venture capital debt at a valuation of more than $12 million to help get Kudos off the ground. Currently the company has lost around $1.5 million since launching, but Amrita expressed her belief that the company would become profitable in late 2023 or early 2024.

There are a couple of ways that Amrita captures customers, one of which is through a monthly subscription. Customers can subscribe for $78 per month to get a 30-day supply of diapers until they cancel.

For anyone who’s not interested in a monthly plan, customers can purchase a month-supply of diapers separately for a one-time cost of $88.  

Amrita shared with the sharks that the landed cost for a package of diapers was as high as $39, and they immediately became concerned about the company’s margins. Amrita also believes that her customer acquisition cost is about $23, which could be lower than many similar rival brands.

After all the information had been presented, it was finally time for some offers. Mark Cuban and Gwyneth Paltrow teamed up to make an offer of $250,000 for 10% equity. Amrita accepted the offer and quickly began to celebrate her new partnership with the sharks.

Now that we know how the negotiations ended, let’s get a Kudos update. 

Amrita’s pathway to profitability with Kudos as a business will likely be significant and take some time, but being featured on Shark Tank should help speed things up. Additionally, her partnerships with Mark Cuban and Gwyneth Paltrow should help with marketing and the financial well-being of the business.

As Amrita looks to explore new ways to improve her product’s viability, she hopes that her appearance on Shark Tank will move her one step closer to becoming a household baby brand. When we get a more proper Kudos update, we will be sure to let you know!
