Lori Greiner was impressed with the product when she sampled it. Even more impressive, the company launched in April of 2021 and has already generated upwards of $2 million in lifetime sales.
The sharks were immediately impressed, but they still wanted to learn more about Fiona and Youthforia before committing to an investment.
Most of the company’s sales come from direct-to-consumer purchases or through Amazon, while only about a third of the sales come from retail and wholesale.
All of the company’s products range from $26 to $38. Manufacturing fees come in at a landed cost of less than $6 per unit.
Kevin O’Leary made an offer of $100,000 for 20% equity, plus another $300,000 as a loan. Robert Herjavec was impressed with Fiona, but the product wasn’t for him so he went out.
Lori wasn’t a fan of oil, so she too went out. Barbara felt Fiona wasn’t clear on her business plan, so she was the next shark out. Mark Cuban went out for the reason.
Fiona countered Kevin with 8% equity, but he rejected her offer. She countered him again with $400,000 for a $0.50 royalty on every unit sold until $500,000 is paid back, at 5% equity.
He rejected her offer again and countered with $400,000 for 10% equity, and a $1 royalty on every unity sold until $800,000 is paid back.
Mark Cuban jumped in at the very last moment to offer $400,000 for 10% equity. Fiona countered him with 8% and he accepted.
