      Helps to have gone to business school and having experience as a consultant. They are experts on the numbers of a business. Sharks often make bids for 2-3x the asked valuation, but this time I think it was quite fair, and the Sharks got greedy. Kevin and Lori's offers were, like he said, nuts! 20 or15 cents royalty on a product that costs $1.27 is crazy, especially when they make roughly 20 cents in profit. Even if he scaled like expected and cut his production cost by about 20 cent, that royalty deal would seriously impact the cash flow unless he 1.5-2x his prices.
      His pitch was phenomenal, and his presentation technique was terrific with the visualization of the process, the business had great sales, he knew his margins would double when he grew, the company secured a deal at 7-1, keto and "no filler ingredients" are trends on the rise. Think the sharks let a huge opportunity slip here.

      He knew all the numbers in and out and had expert knowledge in the business domain. Great business and numbers aside, the entrepreneur himself was worth investing in, IMO. Top-notch communication skills, presenting the product and process perfectly. Knew every number in and out, had in-depth reasoning for every decision, realistic expectation for growth, got a deal with 7-11 (that is huge), and was firm, professional and had integrity in his negotiation with the sharks. He seems like the perfect entrepreneur CEO, and would likely need a lot less basic business guidance than most of the entrepreneurs on Shark tank.

With the numbers he had to date, he could realistically expect ~$6m+ this year and about ~$1.5m profit. He mentioned that the cost would drop to 75 cents as they grow, which would increase their profit by 60% per bar. I think $500k for 15% was unreasonable, as it would value the company at $3.3m.

    This guy knew his numbers and his business so well. You can tell he's been doing this for a longtime and has thought about the numbers quite a bit. On top of all of that he is an extremely personable and likeable guy which makes the product even more palatable, believe it or not people don't realize the power of a strong and likeable personality/character to enhance the product that you are presenting.
    If there is something that I have learned on this show it is that half of the sale is selling yourself. Any business person calculates the individual's personality they will be dealing with, and what context the product was formed in and how everything is taken care of.
    Case and point: Mark Cuban was out in the beginning, but then you heard him say towards the end "I like David, I really like David..." and then Mr. Cuban came back in on the deal... Why? Because David sold himself which gave more value to the product.

    I like this entrepreneur, he has the balls to stand up for himself and say what needs to be said, good on him. The only thing I would say is that he is coming to their table for help, and he offers them a chance at doubling their money. No investor would go on a boat with him like that. It's just not enough. The 15% From Mark was definitely a fair deal. He probably would have come down a little if pushed but 15% is fair, the guy is too emotional about his business but is forgetting he is asking for half a million. A blooming business that has been established a decade ago is worth the calculated value with those sales, but a company that only just begun has no stability and is therefore a huge risk.

    I make these at home and they are delicious. I've not seen these on my driver's shelves but I'll be looking for them. Compared to how much it cost me to make them, I personally think his retail price is too low.

      Half the people online say they are too espensive.. globalism has really stuffed us on filers and cheap products. Hell many people didnt like the taste..we have been raised on the taste of processed fake cheese...so people dont even feel familiar with real Wisconsin cheese. Crazy stuff

      That's why he didn't accept that deal. Low price is his USP. He didn't want to ruin it with sharks

    The best part of the video is at the beginning when Lori says "cheesehead." So precious. Lori is smart, savvy and very cute. Mark is the star of the show because of his decency, strong intellect and incredible insights into the entrepreneurs' character and capabilities.

    He could've held onto more equity with Mark if he gave him a small royalty. He could've said 7.5% with a nickel royalty until Mark recouped half of his investment.

    I've noticed a lot of people get caught in the sharks offers, whether it's excitement or desperation for cash flow. David is not like them, he knows his worth and did not get lost in the excitement. Well done, and stay cheesy my man.
