Entrepreneurs Kevin Choi and Edwin Cho entered the Shark Tank seeking a $200,000 investment in exchange for a 10% equity stake in Snactiv.
Kevin O’Leary, known for his pragmatic approach, was the first to extend an offer, putting forth a proposition of $200,000 and an additional $1 per unit royalty arrangement, destined to remain in effect until his initial investment of $1 million was fully recouped, accompanied by a 10% equity stake.
In a strategic move, guest shark Kevin Hart and Lori Greiner, known for her QVC connections, collaborated on a combined offer, capitalizing on their respective strengths. Their offer, totaling $200,000 for a 20% equity stake, reflected the entrepreneurs’ benefit of securing two sharks with distinct advantages.
In a bid to refine the terms, the entrepreneurs attempted to negotiate Kevin and Lori down to a 15% equity stake, prompting Kevin O’Leary to lower his equity ask to a mere 5%.
After a spirited exchange of perspectives and considerable debate among the sharks, the entrepreneurs ultimately made the decision to accept Kevin Hart and Lori Greiner’s offer.
