John shared his terrible singing voice with the sharks before singing into the SingTrix unit, which created a remarkable transformation. John’s voice was suddenly in tune thanks to a pitch corrector feature, one of over 350 included effects.
John and Eric told the sharks that they sell the SingTrix bundle for $345. In the 6 months prior to filming, they had generated $1.2 million in gross revenue sales.
A single unit costs about $150 to manufacture and is wholesaled for approximately $265.
They explained that a large consumer electronics company was interested in doing an exclusive distribution deal with them. They were expecting to sell around 30,000 units that holiday season.
Daymond John asked what they needed the money for and they said it would be for making new products. Mark Cuban didn’t see himself as the right investor so he dropped out.
Kevin O’Leary was interested and offered $1.5 million in exchange for 50% equity. If he received his money back within 18 months, he would drop his equity down to 10% along with a $2.50 royalty in perpetuity.
Robert Herjavec also wanted to make a competitive offer of $1.5 million for 20% equity.
Lori Greiner wanted in as well and offered $1.5 million for 30% equity. After her money was paid back, she would drop her equity down to 15% along with a $2.50 royalty in perpetuity.
Kevin jumped in and said he would do that deal with Lori just before Daymond threw his offer into the mix.
He said his ties to the music industry could help and offered $1.5 million for 25% equity and he would finance all of their orders.
Eric and John countered the sharks at $1.5 million for 7% which caused all of them to drop their offers, forcing John and Eric to leave the tank without a deal.
