Shark Tank Tones of Melanin Update

Tones of Melanin Update

  • Entrepreneurs: Ashley Jones
  • Business: Collegiate fashion for minority communities
  • Ask: $300,000 for 15% equity
  • Result: $300,000 for 12% equity
  • Sharks: Mark Cuban

Ashley brought her fashion line, Tones of Melanin to Shark Tank Season 14. She says, that historically black colleges and universities have been underrepresented in terms of collegiate wear. Her brand is working to fix that.

Tones of Melanin’s iconic reversible jacket has relatively good margins considering that it can be created for around $30, and sold online for $165.

Many of their alternative products have similar margins, which was good news for all of the sharks that were considering their investment.

Kevin O’Leary wanted to hear more about the company’s sales numbers. Ashley quickly responded, stating that she had more than $3 million in gross revenue sales dating back to 2017.

Despite a strong brand and sales, Daymond John, Lori Greiner, Barbara Corcoran, and Kevin O’Leary all dropped out without making an offer.

Mark Cuban however was interested. He offered $300,000 for 15% equity. Ashley quickly countered with 12%, and Mark Cuban accepted.
