According to them, Sunflow costs $70 and sells for $198, and they have a 78% margin from the bottle holder.
After hearing all of this, Mr. Daniel states his offer, $1 million for 22.5% of equity rights, and Greg starts to explain the future potential of their business and the importance of having a shark to ride along with them. Daniel demands a counteroffer, but Greg doesn’t respond, so Daniel says, ‘I’m Out. Mark and Barbara go out next, followed by Lori.
Four sharks are out, and the couple is still waiting for Kevin O’Leary to make his move. After a while, Kevin O’Leary offered a $1 million investment for 4% equity plus $5 per item sold as a royalty until the sum reached $2 million.
