Business Pitch Episode Recap
Hanna and Mark presented the Lollacup, highlighting its innovative valveless weighted straw that allows toddlers to sip easily from any angle without spills. The cup is made in the USA with safe, BPA-free materials. The founders demonstrated the product’s ease of use and emphasized its appeal to parents seeking practical toddler cups.
During negotiations, Daymond John offered $100,000 for 50% equity contingent on breaking an existing sales agreement, which the founders declined. They countered with $100,000 for 40% equity, which Robert Herjavec considered.
Mark Cuban then gave them a 24-second shot clock to decide on his matching offer of $100,000 for 40%. Daymond lowered his offer to $100,000 for 30% but dropped out when the founders took too long to decide.
Ultimately, the founders accepted a two-shark deal with Mark Cuban and Robert Herjavec for $100,000 in exchange for 40% equity.
