Alicia and Dane brought their NUTR nut milk-making machine to
NUT MILK MAKER: Prepare homemade plant-based milk in minutes. Nutr provides a mess free, non-dairy beverage making experience. Our machine blends nuts and grains to achieve a smooth, rich and creamy milk. Plus make a variety of hot & cold plant-based beverages, including creamers, lattes, smoothies, shakes and more!
They invited guest shark Daniel Lubetzky up to try it out. He was impressed with the process as well as the creaminess of the milk. Along with the appliance itself, the company also produces flavor packets that can be shipped to customers through subscription options.
Mark Cuban was curious about their margins, and Dane told the sharks that a single unit is produced for $42, and they sell for $169. That’s roughly 73% profit margin, and most of the company’s sales come directly online.
When Kevin O’Leary asked about sales, Alicia told him that NUTR had generated $793,000 in gross revenue sales. In 2022, NUTR was expected to reach about $6 million by the end of the year and has already reached $2 million in sales.
Lori Greiner didn’t see the need for another appliance, so she dropped out. Mark had already invested in a competitor brand, so he dropped out too.
Kevin was next to drop out, not agreeing with their valuation. Daymond John didn’t agree with their numbers, so he dropped out. Daniel was willing to entertain an offer from the entrepreneurs, but quickly realized that they were way too far apart to come close to making a deal.
Sadly, Alicia and Dane had to leave the tank without a deal. What happened next for their company? Keep reading our NUTR update to find out!
