After the sharks finished trying the jerky, Michael shared that by the end of 2020, he expected to do $1.5 million in sales and was currently at $620,000 on the year. Further, in 2018 the company had $300,000 in sales and in 2019 $755,000 in sales. Unfortunately, Pan’s Mushroom Jerky is only operating at a 10% profit margin.
However, all of this was enough to interest Tom’s founder Blake Mycoskie, Lori Grenier, and Mark Cuban. Blake and Lori teamed up to give Michael his first offer and were willing to invest $300,000 for 30% equity. Mark followed quickly behind, offering $300,000 for 25%.
Michael countered, not wanting to give up too much equity, and secured a deal with Mark Cuban of $300,000 for an 18%% investment in Pan’s Mushroom Jerky.
