The guy clearly just wants the money. Not to scale his own business. Do the math on 10 Million x 35% .. And he literally don’t have to do a thing. That man hit the jackpot.
It’s business. It wasn’t worth it for Lori to invest 150k for 15% because she knows her platform is what makes this sell. The idea is genius, but Lori is the connection that turns this product into cash. These have done 20 million in sales on QVC. She takes 13, he takes 7 (rough numbers obviously). There’s a lot more to running a business than creating a product and selling, and there’s so many times people fail or make bad moves out of desperation. This was a very fair deal for him. To scale this on his own would have taken forever. He created the product, and while she was doing all the footwork he got to sit back with his hand out saying ‘money please’ as the checks rolled in.
Absurd in what way? they made 13$mil in sale in 3years since air date , company is now valued at 60$mil . he;s now a multi millionaire by just sitting on his couch
I think I would have offered a 50/50 share of the company, emphasizing the fact that were partners and our equity should reflect that. Had she said a firm no to that I think I would have walked. I always get mad at entrepreneurs when they get stingy with equity on this show but that 65% offer was.... greedy to say the least

From sharktankblog: - Lori Greiner made good on her promise: ReadeRest has made Rick Hopper a millionaire. In the three years following the initial air date, they did $13 million in sales. The company also started selling reading glasses. As of March, 2022, the company has annual revenue of $5 million.
Yes its easy to analyze, sitting at home and being a keyboard warrior, He knows his capacity and capabilities of his product and its future, So he agreed to the deal,
Definitely thought it was greedy but compared to his sales prior and now he is a millionaire and didn't have to hustle. Not a bad deal. Should have got her to 55%
@@rodrichforever5000Never ! He went on shark looking for investment & lori made him a Millionaire just sitting at home while she does everything always remember 35% of $60 millions worth more than 100% he had before 😮
Mark held there for a little to get him to accept the offer from Lori to create some urgency. He was helping him which you can tell. Genuinely nice move
I'd have told her absolutely NOT! When asking for 65%.. then when she tried to threaten pulling back her offer if Mark was heard out, I would have told her to go fish!.. who would want to work with someone like that. Both of them are out of their minds, Lori + glasses dude
That's why he's a millionaire now & can enjoy his life or get anything he wants and i'm 100% sure you're not even close to that just looking at your comment bruhh 😂😂 i'll just tell you to remember 35% of $60 million worth more than your 100% you want to keep for yourself & go out of business one day so i hope you make better decision later if you're an entrepreneur like man good luck
@@TestAcc-sj7tt He would have become a millionaire without Lori. It's a great product and would have got a lot of traction after the episode aired. And would also have been advised to go digital. May have taken a while but the company would have been worth maybe half what it is now or more without Lori and he would have owned all of it. Lori was too greedy here.
It’s simple. Lori be taking L’s. She’s made 10s of millions, of 10 of the top 20 Shark Tank pitches. But is she had asked for higher percentages, she would have made hundreds of millions.
Company is worth over 50mil. 50×.35 = 17.5 million dollars without doing anything. If he didn't take the deal chances are he wouldn't get a tenth of that
I would’ve just said no and hoped that after being on the show I’d get more sales. These guys obviously help each other out and force the stress on the entrepreneurs so they make bad decisions
I think Mark was actually helping the guy out by staying in. It gave him more negotiation power. He should have asked Lori for 55% instead of 45%. Once the Entrepreneur wanted to hear what Mark would say, then gave Lori all the negotiation power to stay firm at 65%
This item isnt that great. People who wear glasses find that one of the biggest issues is having to remember and carry their glasses with them, or remember glasses wipes, or case, etc..., which is inconvenient and a pain in itself. This item would just be another accessory people with glasses have to remember . I think they will constantly forget it when walking out the door, and then it will be too much of a hassle always remembering it and they will eventually just let it collect dust. I personally wouldnt buy this item and I wear glasses.
@@jkbrown34568 This is for people who only need glasses for far-sighted or short-sited vision and prescription sunglasses. They can even be used for reading glasses.. There are a lot of those out there. This is not for the ones that need to use them all the time.
Actually not really, the company is maybe worth 4 million total. If he owns 35%, that’s 1,400,000 if he’s lucky and we’re not counting other employees and fees and taxes and etc… he hardly made our like Lori promised.
@@DOC_951It's worth $60 millions dollars & i'm sure he's a millionaire now don't just think about selling equity lol it's a business there's profits too or even a salary per month not just selling the company for big exit lol if i was him i would have put a small royalty on it before giving her 65% but i'm happy it work out for him at the end everyone deserve success 😊
After researching the net worth of ReadeREST, it has a valuation of 2.5 to 4 million USD. Turns out Lori got a good deal and at least tripled her $150,000 investment after all expenses, but I doubt the inventor made his million as she promised. If you have information to the contrary, please let me know.

So many of these entrepreneurs are weak minded, you should never ask "would you" when you're negotiating, just make a counter offer. Starting with "would you consider?" always comes off as desperate and rarely gets a 'yes'. I also wouldn't cave in to the idea that I have to answer before hearing other offers. I'd ask them the question whether they want to be in business with someone that doesn't listen to all offers when pitching a product? Potentially costing them both a better deal and money.
I love how everyone is jumping on lori.. when Kevin does the same thing just structures it differently 😂 And I would’ve said 50/50, if she wants a royalty I’d be ok with that.

After watching so many episodes, 65% isn't really that bad compared as to when the entire company is bought out outright, kicking the proprietor to the curb. Especially, when the only contribution by the proprietor is the invention of the original idea, whilst the rest will be taken care of by Lori. Henceforth, the proprietor simply has to sit back and watch the dough roll in.
Lmao and thats why you'll never be successful. Why be a prince when you can be a king. Same concept, she's taking the most out of his own company in return giving him a little piece of his own creation
@@bradrhoades1305 Please, you act like Lori brings zero value to the company. Just like the OP said, a little bit of a lot is more than most of nothing. 3/5 of the biggest returns in Shark Tank history have been with Lori. If she has majority stake then she is taking on all the work. She is going to be the one advertising it, scaling up their production, and their logistics. Look up the company and the story, this guy really did become a millionaire off this. How many millions do you have? I'm gonna guess none

65% is absurd. Notice how Mark congratulated Lori and not the business owner?

Lori’s offer was greedy. I would’ve negotiated it since I thought the initial offer was fair.

There is a reason why she the most successful shark in term of deals .
just ordered the item on Amazon after watching the video. looks pretty convenient when you want to switch between sunglasses and regular glasses

this was the WORST deal ever made, lori was GREEDY and took advantage of him
that makes it a good deal for her
It is called ‘Shark Tank’ for a reason
Company is worth over 50mil.
50×.35 = 17.5 million dollars without doing anything. If he didn't take the deal chances are he wouldn't get a tenth of that

She bought magnets, at that % she better do all the leg work from this point on
Could have countered with a royalty for less equity.

This is the first item I’ve seen, that I already want to buy. I hate the worst time with my glasses. Is this on Amazon?
You can’t be seriously asking people if something is on Amazon, when you clearly have access to the Internet…

Wow, glasses are pretty expensive in the US. I got mine for 8 dollars where i live
Must be from India or some poor country with knock offs

$1.50 at the dollar tree .
