    It’s pretty clear she isn’t. The few bits of numbers online all date back a couple of years and seem to come directly from her - there’s no evidence to suggest the company takes anything like 5m a year, and that figure seems outlandish - it’s stocked in ‘trending items’ sections in stores, where products tend to have short trial runs before being delisted. Not a sign of a successful product. And it costs $7 for a pack of four small cartons, when a parent can buy a bottle of sugar free juice that will make 30 drinks for half that price. This is not a product that has scope for major success. There are cheaper options with flavours that children would likely prefer

    @@Fredas_Lifestyle it doesn’t matter. They were entering at a 2.5m valuation on 55k sales, a juice producer making 5m+ in growing revenue 3 years later, and being in all the major retailers, has all the potential to be immensely profitable for you. It was a poor take from the sharks, like many others they had through the years. And yeah, 5m in revenue is not moderately successful for someone that raised 1m in VC for product development and IP. At standard valuation that’s a 30m business right there. 30x ain’t considered a “moderate” return by any VC I know.

    I'm surprised no one in the comments spotted when Mark asked her why she isn't selling, she replied "I'm doing that right now." She didn't mean to the sharks. She meant to the people watching at home. She burned through her cash and needed to prove to her investors that she could sell so she hopped on to Shark Tank for that magical Shark Tank effect.....that she already had distribution in place for.

Then she attempted to acquire additional investors’ money, still with no common sense strategy. When pressed, she refused to acknowledge the very real concerns of these potential investors and even alluded to seeking more funds from her initial investors. She then stated that the sharks were hung up on the money she raised, failing to realize that they were not hung up on the fact that she raised it, but how she foolishly squandered and disrespected the blessing of other people’s money.

    "You've learned the theory of buisness plans, but you're not fighting in the trenches." Main takeaway I'm getting from this is that you can't scale if you never made a base to scale from; Each small step in the process of growth provides information that can help you adjust your business model, provides investors with credible evidence that your business works, and most importantly it provides a sustainable source of cash that can fuel your business. If you don't get that baseline amount of sales or even customers at the start to support your business on its own, you can't grow even if you got a theoretically "solid" plan.
