Shark Tank PetPlate Pitch

Entrepreneur: Renaldo Webb
Business: Human-quality pet food delivery service
Ask: $100,000 for 10% equity
Result: No deal
Sharks: None

Renaldo stepped into Shark Tank with his dog, Winston, looking for an investment to grow his fresh, human-grade dog food delivery service, PetPlate.

He wanted to tap into the sharks’ expertise to help scale his direct-to-consumer business.

PetPlate offers freshly made, human-grade meals for dogs, customized to fit each dog’s age, weight, and health needs.

The meals are available in beef, chicken, turkey, and lamb. They are all formulated to meet AAFCO standards and use USDA-certified, all-natural ingredients with no fillers or preservatives.

The service includes convenient auto-shipping, which can be paused, skipped, or canceled anytime.

It also comes with a 100% money-back guarantee and solid customer support.

PetPlate is designed for dog owners who care about their pets’ nutrition but may not have the time or know-how to prepare proper meals.

Each meal costs $10 to produce and sells for a minimum of $40, giving the company a healthy 75% profit margin.

Renaldo proudly shared that PetPlate had gained over 100 subscribers in just eight months, but the sharks had reservations.

Kevin O’Leary immediately raised concerns, noting that scaling the business would require a lot of money.

Having faced similar challenges with another company, Plated, Kevin decided to exit the negotiations.

Robert Herjavec also had doubts, especially about the limited delivery model and the low number of subscribers, so he dropped out.

Lori Greiner appreciated Renaldo’s passion but wasn’t sold on the business model and passed as well.

Chris Sacca was impressed, even calling Renaldo a “dream partner,” but he declined to invest due to a conflict with his investment in Uber’s delivery service.

Mark Cuban was the last to exit. While he liked Renaldo, he couldn’t commit to the business’s round-the-clock demands and decided to pass.

With no deal in hand, let’s get a PetPlate update to see how Renaldo is doing today.

Shark Tank PetPlate Update

Our PetPlate update found that despite not getting a deal on Shark Tank, the company grew quickly after airing.

Prior to airing, PetPlate served 100 customers within a 300-mile radius of New York City. Shortly after, it was shipping 300-400 meals per month across the country.

In 2018, Renaldo raised $4 million in venture capital to fuel the company’s growth.

We received an official PetPlate update segment in Season 10, during which Renaldo revealed that the company had scaled even more. They are now shipping 3,000-4,000 meals monthly nationwide.

In February 2020, PetPlate secured $9 million in funding from investors, including General Mills’ venture capital arm.

This allowed PetPlate to meet growing demand and continue expanding.

In 2021, PetPlate partnered with Paramount Pictures to create packaging themed around the popular family film Paw Patrol: The Movie.

Later that year, the company raised another $19 million to help expand into retail.

Our PetPlate update research found that as of May 2023, PetPlate had sold over 15 million meals across the U.S., with annual revenue surpassing $9 million.

At the time of writing, PetPlate had raised a total of $47 million and had sold more than 18 million meals.

Despite the sharks’ initial skepticism to offer Renaldo a deal, we are calling this PetPlate update a success.
