Mark Cuban and Lori Greiner both dropped out early because they’d invested in a very similar company and felt that it would be a conflict of interest.
However, Barbara Corcoran decided to make an offer of $50,000 for 25% equity after hearing about the company’s margins and financial record. She did express a little bit of concern about the fact that Radiate had only been operating for less than 30 days before appearing on
Guest shark Rohan Oza decided to make the same exact offer. Robert Herjavec offered $100,000 in exchange for 25% equity. After giving it some thought, Brent and Brian accepted Robert’s offer because of the passion that he expressed for their business.
