Shark Tank Season 14 Episode 21 Recap
The first pitch of the night is two dudes from Santa Monica, California asking 80 grand and their pitch is “Wild Berry” a berry that can change the perception of flavor, from sour to sweet, for example. The pitch consists of a dude eating up a lemon, and other sour flavors, taking the berry, and describing the taste. The Sharks take the berry and taste the flavors and are all amazed. Then, the round of questions ensues, Kevin wants to know how are they going to market this.
Lori wants to know what’s the sales pitch to the public, and Mark is wondering who’s going to buy it. In the end, Kevin doesn’t understand the business but Kevin makes a big pitch for a 33% stake and royalty sales, Daymond offers something similar but for no royalty. After that, Kevin drops the stake to 20% and leaves the royalty, and that makes Lori jump in for another offer. Mark is out and so is Barbara. But in the nick of time, Mark and Lori seal the deal.
Mental Health Struggles
The next aspiring entrepreneur wants 10% of the biz, and a quarter million dollars for “See The Way I See”, a brand aimed at ending the stigma surrounding Mental Illness, from hoodies, trinkets, stickers, pants, and keychains with positive messages, Sophie wants to conquer the world. The round of questions begins and Barbara seems interested, Kevin asks about numbers, but the moment Sophie says that she sold a quarter million dollars worth of hoodies in a day, all sharks want in. Kevin thinks Sophie is doing too well on her own and doesn’t need a shark, so he’s out. Daymond considers the same, that her business took off and there’s no point in helping her, so he’s out. Lori thinks the same, and she’s out too.
Mark Cuban asks Sophie what being an entrepreneur means to her and she answers that is able to overcome her challenges and accomplish them. Mark considers that what Sophie does with her company is amazing, and he advises that she should let the community of buyers be the one that guides her in that journey, and Mark says he’d feel bad to take part in her company, so he’s out. We’re down to Barbara Corcoran, who shares the same idea, and Sophie goes home with no investors but with a lot of support.
