    I love how when they took the deal Kevin maturely walked over to them and Robert was running waving his new toy in the air

      @rebecatravels Před 4 měsíci +5

      I think it was mainly about Kevin and Robert fighting over the same toy and wanting to come out on top. not so much about the company itself lol. Toy's cool, but not a great sales execution

      Right? They didn’t even try to go up in money. I mean they were both dueling at 10% for 100k, they should have countered at 20% split for 100k each and everyone gets what they wanted.

    @DjSharperimage Před 4 měsíci +11

    It's way too expensive for a kid's toy. They need to remove the rechargeable battery, and just use AA batteries, and maybe charge like 10 dollars for it.
    And maybe make a ZipString Pro version with the rechargeable batteries.

  • @lastoneok3002
    @lastoneok3002 Před 4 měsíci +1

    Damn this was wrong in so many levels. First not taking the 10% offer, then not taking the 9%, after that countering to ask for less equity instead of the same equity and more amount of money. Anyway it's still a good deal getting two shark, i assume this pitch will definitely blow up and easily will be worth at ten's million of dollars in next five years.

      They did blow it! They went from an offer of 9% for $100k to giving up 20% for $100k.

  • @jenniturtleburger3708

    This was painful to watch. They had two sharks dueling it out to get 10% for 100k and then Kevin says to Mark, “hey let’s go in on this together 20% for 100k.” Ummm what? These guys were just fighting each other for the deal to the point Kevin even drops to 9% and you agree to HALF what they offered? They did attempt to try to offer less equity but when Kevin said he needed 10% to get excited about it, they should have immediately countered with both Mark and Kevin each getting 10% for 100k a piece. I’m sure they would have took that deal. Painful.
