    He missed the basket twice, got laughed at, could barely pour water his hands shaking so much, and he kept it together to negotiate a close on a super aggressive offer! Big brain move! He definitely fudged the valuation to get it where it landed, all planned out before walking into the tank! Bravo!

    No and no. That guy is extremely smart tho, yes. He didnt finesse them. His offer was legitimate, his valuation is not insane at all if it's been proven to work because they have the technologies patented. This is quite likely worth billions down the line just with licencing and patent usage. And Mark knew it instantly but did not want to discuss such a deal on a tv show. He did THEM a favor by giving up this much equity, and expected also a lot in return thus why he proposed advisory shares. He values their expertise, network and time much more than their money, rightfully so. And no he doesnt own 96% of the company, this is not a small business. He has co founders, he has VCs inboard. I'd be extremely impressed if he even still owned more than 55% after this deal.

Could be because he raised about $10 mil some weeks after this was filmed, and then another $11 mil some time later. So those % he would have had to give up in his company for "just" $1 mil feels quite unnecessary, if you ever could say that about $1 million. I'm not 100% sure in these numbers - it's something I just heard from people I know who follow things like this and live in the US (I'm Swedish and live in Norway), so don't cuss me out if I'm wrong :) But I think you're right, he went on there to maximize the visibility of his company, and it was and still is a *great* strategy.

    This is the definition of being a shrewd negotiator. Price high, to get talked down to your asking point.

    Yep, I was super surprised they took his offer at 2%. Basically he way overvalued it, then cut the evaluation by half. Also I thought there was some rule where you have to get the evaluation you asked for. Recently Cuban was saying something about how Richard Branson must have never seen the show because he didn’t know that (or something very similar, I’m still not entirely sure how that works) but the interview was about when Branson threw a glass of water on Cuban. You can look up the video where he talks about Branson throwing water on him. I think it’s a flip from the Impaulsive podcast Cuban did.
