Was Scrub Daddy fairly valued at $150K for 20%?

Company: Scrub Daddy

Aaron Krause pitched Scrub Daddy on Season 4 asking $150,000 for 20% ($750K valuation). Lori Greiner took the deal. In hindsight, with reported cumulative sales in the hundreds of millions, was that valuation fair to the Sharks — or did Aaron leave money on the table?

Editorial ruling

At pitch time, Scrub Daddy had strong demo traction but unproven mass retail velocity — a $750K pre-money valuation was aggressive yet defensible. Lori's QVC channel was the missing distribution key; the "bargain" only became obvious after scale. Fair to both sides at signing; transformative in hindsight.
