Business Pitch Episode Recap
Lindsay and Nicole introduced the sharks to Trimi Tank, a line of tank tops that come with three interchangeable strap sets, offering customers versatility and customization. They also planned to expand into dresses with interchangeable straps.
During the pitch, Lori Greiner asked about sales; the founders had sold only about 100 units at $35 each, which did not impress the sharks. Although women at craft fairs and flea markets loved the product, the entrepreneurs had no credit card processing capability at the time, limiting sales. Lori exited early, unconvinced by the concept’s appeal and market readiness.
Mark Cuban liked the founders’ personalities but did not feel knowledgeable enough about the niche to invest and exited. Daymond John and Robert Herjavec both felt the business was too early-stage and lacked sufficient market research, so they also left.
Kevin O’Leary was the last remaining shark but was strongly against the idea and declined to invest, jokingly offering to take the founders to dinner if they agreed to shut down the business.
The entrepreneurs left the Tank undeterred, believing in their brand’s potential.
