What happened at the shark tank?

At Shark Tank, Patrick Gaskin requested $250,000 from the Sharks as a trade-off for a 7 % return.

Later, Patrick Gaskin stated on the Shark Tank show that their company currently has a business value of $3.57 million.

Patrik Gaskin also said that company keeps working on every single idea in the gift card industry so that they can give an experience to their customers which they are looking for and for this, they had more than 50+ artists in their Cardly community.

Tom Cliff also said that to give the experience of human handwriting in gift cards, they take a good handwriting font and then do it like human writing, they do their own-made humanization process in which computer writing looks like human handwriting.

The Sharks were quite amazed at the presentation. But, they were not interested in a 7% return. Sharks wanted at least a 30% return should be there for a $250,000 investment.

Sharks again asked that you tell your current business model and how are you going to take your business forward?

In response to Sharks, Patrik says that most of the work has been done without any marketing and we want to double our business numbers by next year and quadruple by the next year after that.

After that, Steve and Jannie offered a 33.3% stack for a $250,000 investment. Which product rejected.

After that Naomi said that 7% is not in return. Are we talking about investment deals here?

Naomi was fed-up with such deals from Cardly.

Lastly, Naomi talks about a 15% return and if Naomi brings 50,000 customers to them in the next 6 months, then Cardly will have to increase the return to 25%.

At first, Patrik refused to take this offer but later accepted Naomi’s offer.
