The company’s flagship product at the time of appearing on
A single set of wheels costs just $12.00 to manufacture while the company has been selling them for $69.00. While the margins were certainly impressive, some of the sharks still had their own personal doubts about the Shark Wheel.
Kevin O’Leary decided to make an offer of $100,000 in exchange for 2.5% equity of the company. In addition to the equity portion, Kevin also wanted a 10% royalty payment on every single unit sold until he makes back $500,000. Lori Greiner decided to drop out because she was not impressed when she tested out their products.
Daymond John was also interested, and he offered $100,000 for 20% and he also pledged to help with future licensing deals. Guest shark Nick Woodman then offered $100,000 for 15% equity. At this point Zack shared that they already had 3 investors who had raised $600,000, to which Daymond became uneasy and took his offer off the table.
After some back and forth, Kevin proposed that Nick and Mark Cuban join in for an offer of $225,000 for 7.5% equity, plus 10% royalty until $500,000 is paid back. David and Zack happily accepted their deal. What happened next for their company? Keep reading our Shark Wheel update to find out!
