It's funny how Rebecca pronunces the word "Quite"
Can we get the reverse also
I’m considering the Bed Jet. It’s on sale right now, but the price is still pretty steep. Still on the fence I guess
Rocketbook i have more of them. They improved and now instead of microwave you can just wipe it out with water. The best notebooks ever created.
Not only did Jamie not get a shark, but he became a shark years later! Talk about the one that got away.
It's not that these aren't good ideas or that the sharks didn't know they were good ideas, it's just that they couldn't get a majority stake in the company for a minimal investment. In other words, the entrepreneurs were smart enough to not get screwed out of their company and product by the sharks.
exactly. Losing ownership of your company and idea isn't worth the money to be gained (at least from the immediate payoff)
That's my hunch, too. I love how these people are refusing to be bullied out of giving up executive control.
I dunno, was keep "another dating site" idea, worth it?
On some yes, but on others they actually thought they were dumb ideas that wouldn't make money.
The very first thing on the list, the BedJet, is a primary example.
*Bingo! Excellent point...*
They dropped the ball big time with Ring
I remember that episode. I thought it was a good idea.
I couldn't believe they didn't invest with the guy who invented Ring. They really missed out.
Took the words right out of my head... Wow
Yes and now it's sold internationally.
Right for me it's the worst decision of all on shark tank..
Oops gotta go my Ring just alerted me Amazon is here....
I already know Ring is no 1, the fact he become the new season shark is just the cherry on top
I didn't know that he is a Shark now.
Full circle moment!
who is a shark now? is that true I watched all of season 13 don't think i heard anything about ring so is that true mate?😅
@@506Edai I think it was season 10, he did some nice investments on projects others laughed at and profited very nicely.
@@penthesilya yeah tbh I went back to watch previous seasons and saw him being a guess shark on 2 episodes. I even remember he invested in that ginger hair lady's farm business! yes yes. Thanks for letting me know though!
You missed to mention that Jamie came back as a Guest Shark in Season 10 after RING was purchased for a Billion dollars by Amazon.
I think Amazon is the big Cancer that is replacing the true Amazon and it’s healing qualities. I won’t spend my money with them. It’s my bandaid on a festering infliction.
One BILLION dollars...
I hope he totally went with the Dr. Evil finger for that bit of news. LOL
As someone that did pizza delivery for the last year, I can conform that about 8/10 people these days have Ring doorbells or are in the process of doing so. It's rare for me to see an old doorbell nowadays.
You must live in a big city then. Out in our small town I don’t think a single person has one on our doors lol
8 out 10 pizza buyers. How many are repeat customers?
@@blacknight6337 I live in the suburbs, and it’s shockingly common.
I worked with UPS helping delivering packages during the holidays, I can say about 80% of houses had Ring doorbells.
I just posted this. Doing deliveries can help you see a whole neighborhood change overnight.
Holy Crap... They passed on Ring? I can't laugh hard enough at that.
The Ring folks knew they were "lowballed" and the Ring folks decided not to sell their dignity.
Ring was purchased in 2018 by Amazon for $1.2 billion USD to $1.8 billion USD. Sharks really missed on that one.
He just got a better deal and they just look stupid because it's still turning profit
I bet they have nightmares about Ring
cost Kevin over 10 million during interview when it was bought by Amazon
And Uber eats
My favorite rejection was RING, definitely was a win for Amazon.
I feel so sorry for the owners of Rocketbook, being laughed off. Call me crazy but I thought their idea is pretty cool.
I agree!
It is an amazing idea! You have a novelty, useful, known to the user and eco-friendly product. What else do you need? You can pitch it to anyone.
I need a Rocketbook. But a Death note version.
@@azul1964 I guess we all want one of this.
Just shows that financial success doesn't mean you don't have work to do.
Kodiak cakes were rejected? But their protein waffles are soooo good!
I know right?. I buy their pancake and waffle mix everytime I go to the grocery store,add some fruit like banana slices or strawberry and top them off with a cascade of syrup and you have pure bliss 😋
I work in Walmart and there a whole area for Kodiak cakes and mixes, I think the sharks fumble the ball on it
The flapjack cups are the perfect dorm meal or snack - take it from an actual college student! I always have a few kept in the room, and I've gotten others hooked on them!
Right?! I love anything Kodiak! Their pancake cups are awesome!
Kodiak cakes are bomb, especially the dark chocolate. I also put some dehydrated fruit in there for flavor
The Lip Bar is sold in several stores including Ulta, y'all should have mentioned that. I have several of their products, they're bigger than just a mobile truck.
Yea they definitely undersold their success
Right and they've expanded to more than just lipstick.
That’s what they pitched lol. That’s why they didn’t get a deal
And def Target
This is Mojo, theey never fully do their research. You'll see after wtching a few of their videos
6 days delivery is too long? Insane what Amazon have done to us.
well the flowers wont last that long tho
@@morgancason6876 but they do
@@Altobrun right! 6 days for flowers is pretty damn good.
@@SeaKangaroo I was surprised by that service since it’s been pretty standard in my country for years - and they deliver the same day here.
The sharks don't decide based on success, they decide based on being able to take ownership of the company for peanuts. If a founder wants to keep their company the sharks won't want it.
Dumbest comment ever. You clearly dont watch the show. They rarely make ownership offers let alone majority stake offers. Majority are between 10-30% and dont get accepted because of disagreements on strategy or value.
DoorBot also known now as Ring which sold to Amazon for over a billion...
Imagine how they felt with their failure😂😂
I know its so awesome. You know those sharks feel like idiots.
That is the one product that I am surprised they did not bid on. Everybody keeps their phone on them. Such a good idea and all new built homes have these doorbells on them.
I wouldn’t mind failing like that. Damn!
@@davidswick8571 Wow! That’s so cool. I wonder if Ring has gotten contracts with numerous building contractors just for that purpose? That would be great for them! I definitely like the “Ring” name much better than “Doorbot”, though-it’s catchier, simpler, & easy to remember.
I have kodiak cakes in my freezer right now. The protein power ones. They’re soooooooo good!
Me too
Their muffins are good too.
Heck yeah! Imma have to get me some muffins 😂
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day 🌳🍄
My wife had to switch to Kodiak kakes when she had pregnancy diabetes cause she wasn't going without Pancakes. They're good and I don't really even like regular Pancakes so
@matt allen Well…That’s like, your opinion man.
Thanks for sharing.
This proves that just because someone is rich doesn’t mean they instantly developed a sixth sense or a third eyes when it comes to successes.
The exposure is all they wanted/needed...very savvy move from most of these guys
You are spreading misinformation. Most were rejected and the ones that did get an offer, were rip-offs.
@@Jumbo-sm3yp Nah man he said most of these guys not every one of them you egghead, are you a Mark Cuban fan? because what he said was true, exposure to the world is what it needs to be able to pitch a big fish outside of these crappy shark tank shows
@@williamlim5234 And I will never get why you replied, Pea-Brain😕
The silicon wedding ring one is amazing that they missed that one because you see SO many people wearing them now, especially in healthcare.
Out of curiosity, why wear one out of silicone instead of a real one, other than the lower expense, ability to wear it in areas where one can’t wear metal, and ease of cutting one off quickly if necessary?
@@jaimedornanlady7309 You answered your own question. Those are all good reasons why I have picked silicone. I also didn't want to support the modern jewelry industry. Silicone has a lot more color options than precious metals.
@@jaimedornanlady7309 Yes, all of those reasons! In healthcare we have to wash our hands so frequently, and some people want to take off their metal rings every time, they are sanitary and dry quickly. I imagine they are safer for men who work in industry or first responders, to keep from catching them on things and being injured. Plus, they're a lot cheaper to replace. Most people that I know who wear them, myself included, keep our metal rings safely at home and wear the silicone ones to work etc. The metal rings on weekends and occasions.
Some men or women can't wear real rings for safety reasons.
@@jseidel70js one of my neighbours had his ring finger torn off at his job.
I love seeing the successful items that were rejected by the sharks! Most of the sharks are assholes who talk about helping or mentoring small business entrepreneurs, but just take other people's ideas for their own profit. There is a huge difference between investing and mentoring to improve the community of mankind, and taking advantage of people who don't have the connections to get their ideas to the public.
👏
Remember Trump? And how he used to fire apprentices? Same thing goes for most experts who are just arrogant AHs.
yeah none of this is true
@@mohanvvip The apprentice was a TV show along the same standards of survivor, Big Brother any of those others. Somebody had to be fired because there was gonna be a winner. It didn't make him an a$$hole. He had to fire one a week to get to the million dollar winner. He fired the one who screwed up the most regardless of how minimal. It was how the show was set up.
Wow that is interesting so it was initially rejected but then one of the sharks needed flowers for a wedding so it turned out to be helpful anyway. By the way the flowers are grown near a volcano? wow that's actually very genius because I'm pretty sure they grow the best type of flowers because volcano's soil is very rich and fertile
Until it erupts again. {0.o}
😆😂🤣
I used Bouqs once and it sucked!!!!! Took FOREVER to actually get the flowers.
Realistically no natural soil is going to beat what you can whip up in a lab, and if it could, it would still be more economical to import the soil and grow the flowers locally. Them growing at the base of a volcano is a great marketing gimmick though. People will pay just to be able to say the flowers are from a volcano, even if it doesn't really affect the quality of the flowers in general.
Lip Bar is legit one of my favorite lipsticks I own! I got it at Target not knowing they were on Shark Tank but they missed out on an amazing brand.
They're really creamy and non-drying, which is exactly what I look for in a lipstick.
@@Perceptionreflection so wait, if u kiss someone does that person also get
lipstick on his/her lips lmao
@@cyano3d i think what was meant here is it is gentle and does not damage/dry out the lips
They were so mean to those girls too. Belittling them and Calling them cockroaches 😤
@@bembolbug well i made a joke :')
When the "Air Guitar" guys were given the offer that asked them to give up 51% and controlling interest in the company, that would be when I would start saying "Why would we give you controlling interest in OUR company? You see, you offering us that deal tells us you know it's going to be highly successful, and that tells us to hang on to our company and try selling out product to the actual guitar manufacturers."
You could say that but at the end of the day you are taking a risk that things work out for you if you turn down a guaranteed contract for the probability of making more on your own. Amy of these pitchers could walk out of the studio and be hit by a truck and paralyzed, unable to work anymore. Or the economy could crash, or your family could get sick and have extravagant medical bills, or there could be a weather event that destroys your current supply of materials/inventory. In any of those cases taking the guaranteed money would've turned out to be the safer choice. We just never know what could happen.
I think of AMC theaters. They spent a lot of money to renovate their theaters at a loss the last few years. The projections were that that would make the money back and more because now their theaters were a more premium experience and the avengers movies had people buying tickets in droves. And rhen the pandemic happened and the company came very very close to bankruptcy. In a situation like that, having sold the chain instead of doing the renovation would've been the smarter choice in that case.
Exactly. That's saying you know it's a good idea and you're trying to sneak a bigger piece of the pie than you're being offered.
It's funny to think that Jamie (The RING creator) showed up on Shark Tank as a shark in a future episode.
In the UK it’s called “The Dragon’s Den”, and they’ve rejected (and very rudely) some multi million (£ or $) businesses. Two of which are Trunkee and Tangle Teezer.
I would challenge anyone to go to ANY international airport and not see at least 1 child with one.
Tangle Teezer has been so successful that it is a worldwide success, and has spouted many copied (but lower quality) replicas. I myself own them in various different forms, and they’re life changing for anyone with medium to long hair.
RING... I remember watching that episode when it first aired & was shocked that ALL 5 SHARKS went out... I thought it was an amazing idea.. I have 1 RING doorbell now.. I'm happy the owner sold his company & became a BILLIONAIRE before it was knocked by Google.
I never knew Kodiak Cakes was on Shark Tank. This is my favorite thing to eat for Breakfast, I bought some yesterday. It is at Walmart, so it is really mainstream product now.
12:30
Woman with a small company : introduces her company to “Shark Tank” with creative ideas 💡
Shark Tank: “I’ll ask you a question 🙋 if I offer you 30 million dollars 💵 for your company would you take it ?”
The woman with her small company : “no . “ 🤨
Shark Tank : 😦😐
That’s priceless, I love it 👏🏾👊🏾👌🏾, I have a lot of respect for people who doesn’t get easily intimidated/ impressed and know their worth . When you know your idea is great , keeping your company executive control doesn’t worth all the money of the world in exchange.
@@paris5768 Smart lady
Never in a million years would I have imagined that Shark Tank would be a significant factor in my fiance and I finding one and other (we met on Coffee Meet Bagel)
Wow.. Hahahaha thats marvelous.
What’s the difference from other dating apps?
@@bembolbug you already have friends in common
@@toomanyopinions8353 so if you don't have friends it's not any better than meetme?
So it's basically Facebook dating?
@@samhowl1152 I believe so yes
Wow I'm super surprised that Rocketbook didn't make it on Shark Tank. I have my Rocketbook Core right next to me and it's one of the most innovative and eco-friendly things I've ever owned. It's made my life so much easier now that I don't have an excess supply of papers and notes. The Rocketbook app is so easy to use too. For people who can't afford an Ipad or new laptop to write on in college, the Rocketbook is essentially a replacement. (Wow this sounded like an ad LOL) But yea, I can't believe Rocketbook was laughed off like that.
I actually worked for Hammer and Nails and they are amazing and I love their idea! Greatest place I’ve ever worked for!
Seriously? They rejected the Ring doorbell?
I'm not a big shot investor, but even I know that was a huge missed opportunity.
Home security is something that's always needed, and with more people ordering things online these days, theft has become a huge problem.
Ring has actually gotten a lot of would be porch pirates caught.
Plus, who doesn't like the convenience of being able to use their smartphone with other devices?
Those shrimp burgers sound like a great idea for Catholics during Lent since you can’t eat red meat during that time
I've had them and they're bomb!. Just make sure when you make them that people aren't allergic to shellfish 😐
Just eat some ceviche
Eating shellfish is an abomination.
Shark Tank: We won’t invest in this product.
Entrepreneur After he/she becomes successful: Who’s laughing now! 😎😆
The Sharks will just use their $100 bills to wipe their tears 😪💵
The chances that a product, which five billionaire businessmen/women say will fail, actually succeeds, are abysmally low. I wouldn't have invested in any of these, for instance.
That’s the whole idea behind the video
Ring inventor : lol Im the shark now bitch
haa haa, up yours Sharks !!
Shaquille O'neal became one the investors of the Ring, and all he did was babysit the founder's kid while in a meeting.
I’m surprised Shaq hasn’t gone on Shark Tank as an investor! He’s got investments in all kinds of things, & a lot of money to play with.
That doorbot/ring app was really the one that got away!
It's funny that an ad showed up in this video and it was a Xero Shoes ad lol
The same happened to me
@@nabodabo1235 yep. Same here and I actually watched the Ad halfway thru
same
I don't blame these entrepreneurs for walking away or flat out refusing offers to stay successful. Props to them for remaining steadfast with their business. However, the guy with the Wine By The Cup business I think he was there a second time just to gloat about how well his business was doing without the sharks. He even turned down offers on his second visit. That tells me he just wanted to rub it in the sharks faces
or he need more exposure, coz i think those enterpreneurs doesn't really care about investment from the sharks.
Some people like to showboat
XD
What were the Sharks thinking rejecting Ring? That was really dumb on their part. My grandma has one, and loves it.
Xero Shoes. I've totally changed the shoes I wear to all Xero Shoes. Never had a shoe collection, but I'm stuck on Xeros, and they've changed my foot health, and my feet have never felt so good.
This video is proof to always believe in yourself, even when no one does. I always remember that NOBODY wanted to sign Jay-Z in the beginning. That didn't stop him, he put his money together, created his own record label and look at him now.
It’s so nice seeing company’s that made it for once on here without having the sharks
Funniest thing about Shark tank is most of those "Sharks" are more like guppies in the venture capital world, even as they try to sell it differently to gullible entrepreneurs/public.
Sharks are only experts for some businesses but not all industrial verticals. When a person value things, is biased to their own values e.g. lipsticks, notebooks, flowers for love ones. That's why I always wonder how you can just evaluate a company without doing a detail research in the specific sector.
Coatchex' success made me really happy after those middle-aged know-it-all guys roasted the younger guy. Sharks being scared to take a risk...😄😄😄
well risks are dangers
I love the lip bar! I'm from Detroit and was following their journey since shark tank! I'm happy to see how successful she is doing now💖✨I'm obsessed with Boss Lady
They passed on DDP YOGA as well. I’m glad all these start ups did well.
The sisters ‘no’ hilarious 😂😂 like are you insane?! Respect
I've been using a Rocketbook for a couple years, I had no idea they had been on Shark Tank.
Love how there's an ad for Xero shoes in this video 😂😂
This really speaks to the power of SharkTank. Apparently not only do you get exposure, but you get exposed to the right people.
Excellent point
1 pitch shark tank rejected was DDP Yoga. It helped many wrestlers & people & when the investors said no, the company went & helped many more people & wrestlers in WWE & launched an app. Now their doing successful with a yoga studio & helping people overcome addiction.
I absolutely LOVE my Bedjet - it's amazing, especially for people with medical needs or night sweats.
The flower guy knew what’s up.
Flowers are expensive, his company literally offers better prices by taking longer delivery times.
Rocketbook's are amazing! It was the greatest thing when I was in college and is great for work as well! The new design has the ink wash away with water instead of popping it in the microwave which I like so much better! But I have bought so many of them for friends and family.
A terrific product!
the RING guy is now worth more than most of them aside from Cuban.... Robert could've doubled up his networth lol
We've been using Kodiak Cakes products since they first hit shelves. They are the best pre-mixed option on the market. The nutritional values are amazing and they taste great. Xero Shoes suck so bad I ended up with Plantar Fasciitis in both feet. It cost over $1,000 for the corrective leg/foot braces and months of excruciating pain. CBS Shrimp Burgers are OK but they've been making them in Japan for ages and they're so much better.
The soap nut we use it in Indian villages since a long long time 🤨we used to wash hair with it
dang, never knew that Ring was on ST. That one really has to hurt. Most people I know have at least the doorbell, if not more ring products.
19:12 You guys forgot to add, that Jamie is now a guest shark.
A shrimp burger? I'd like to try that I love shrimp!
Trust me they're good. But at first all admit I was hesitant,after finishing the first burger I was hooked.
Okay so the foldable guitar thing doesn’t sound like a good idea based on how guitars actually work but the fact that fender picked them up makes me think it’ll be okay.
I use Coffee Meets Bagel now, it does not do any of the things they said. It's lame and limited. Choices are no better than all the other dating sites.
As for Zero shoes, they made it big. Their sandals are expensive with minimal material but there is a huge trend on barefoot footwear nowadays and people love these. The brand is worth a ton more now.
Proving the "masters of the universe" aren't all that masterful, after all.
I have a bed jet and I freaking love it.
I've been a musician for most of my 56 years on earth. As a guitar player, I'd say the Voyage air guitar is just a novelty. A very expensive, 800 to 2800, novelty. The motion of constantly completely loosening and tuning would drastically reduce the life of the strings. Not sure it would do much in the way of saving space for a professional musician. I'm curious what changes in humidity would do to the neck alignment over time.
Anyone else go on Amazon and order some Meal Enders to try after watching this?
Definitely thinking about it, lol!
Yup! They’re sold out, though.
I totally forgot that Ring was a Shark Tank product!!
I love Lip Bar ! They have moved to lip gloss and I’m here for it.
HAH! I just saw a Xero shoes ad right before this video @14:30 and I thought to myself, during the ad, wow that kinda looks like Chris Chan lol
I think he rocketbook's genuise is it's novelty value and how many ppl would wanna check it out to see if it works...i sure would, I think it's wild as hell.. that and for ppl who keep a journal but wanna be able to to erase it's contents quick if necessary lol
Those Kodiak pancakes are *awesome!* I absolutely love them!! Those sharks lost out big time, lol! 😀
My family legitimately uses Kodiak Cakes a ton. We have multiple boxes in our pantry
Can't believe it's been a little over a decade now that this amazing reality business show's been on television. So glad I was lucky enough to experience it
Kodiak cakes are good. My father-in-law is crazy about them. They're really good with blueberries
Well done to these people. Successful without the “Shark Leeches” trying to screw them over!
I know there is a whole school of thought with shoes that think less shoe is better. So, I could totally see how they think it would be a good idea. A little knowledge can go a long way if your investing in something.
I was hoping to see DDPY on this list cause Diamond Dallas Page has continued to do well with his Yoga program since being on the show
Irony the commercial before this played was Xeroshoes lol. And I love the Kodiak Cakes to go, it's amazing and convenient. And excellent with honey 😁😁😁
Kodiak cakes is definitely laughing their way to the bank! All of their products are delicious... and nutritious 😁
Sharks: “I’m jealous so for that reason.. im out”
I knew Ring would be #1.
Thanks for using my idea.😊
I love Xero Shoes! I own 4 pairs at this point and am just waiting on another to come back into stock in my size.
That Copa de Vino invention was on Dragon's Den years ago. They were turned down but made a success anyway. The obviously didn't patent in the States though lol
I don't know if they have a patent in the US but it's definitely sold there. I've bought it at gas stations - its ok wine!
Well Kodiak did their job, because we have it here in southern California just about in every store
I met my husband on Coffee Meets Bagel! 😍😍😍
That last one (first pick) gave me chills!!!!!!!!!! Woooooowww he never gave up on that amazing idea!! He's saved so many lives with that invention woooooowww
LOL Good thing they all walked cause the Sharks would've just screwed things up and for that reason alone.......I'm Out!!. 😆😂🤣
Rebrand the video as "Top 20 Rejected Shark Tank Pitches that became successful because they exploited the free exposure the program gave them"
They mention exposure throughout the video
That's how things work , plus the sharks are known to be half retarded only using cash they inherited thus why the sharks are so dumb
@@timothyscott1951 most of them are self made, albeit some made their wealth in especially lucky one in a million circumstances.
How appropriate. One of the pitches on this list...was an ad I got for this video. XD
For those curious: It was Xeroshoes.
The ad in the middle of this video for me was xero shoes. I love the irony on that
So the Copa di Vino guy was arrested for fraud last year i believe (maybe 2020). Apparently he used $500k of investors money to buy property in Florida and paid off personal bills. I knew that guy looked like a snake the first time he was on shark tank and i couldnt believe they had him on a second time where he was even worse than the first time.
No shit lol
#1 is my absolute FAVOURITE, on account that the dude came back to become one of the Sharks. 😂
2:33
I LOVE Kodiak cakes! My family buys their waffles every time we go Walmart.
I love the bouqs co. Their flowers are amazing and so beautiful
"6 days is too long to deliver flowers"
how long do you think it takes to deliver flowers to the supermarket before they are put on the shelves?
The supermarket I use to work at only had weekly deliveries so some flowers were sitting out on display on a room-temp shelf for 7 days and still get bought.
That bed jet is a brilliant product.. how did they not see that? And Ring? Wtf they missed a good opportunity there and now the dude's got money like the Sharks (not all of em). Dude might end up becoming a guest shark.
He has been a guest shark. and he sold Ring for 1 billion to Amazon, not sure what his stake was when he sold given that Branson was an investor but he's probably richer than them all apart from Cuban.
Great list!!!
The DDPY (Diamond Dallas Page Yoga) was a huge one that was passed on.
