Mark Cuban's offer of 200K for 33% is without a doubt a fair offer. Why? Because at the time, Coatchex had 0 sales and was just a pilot program. So, Cuban immediately saw how much work it was going to take to get traction going.
@@SharkTankGlobal Exactly. Had CoatChex had any sales and verified partnership with various bars and other venues, then Cuban can sort out whether 15% or 20% is justified.
For those who are wondering where he is now, Coat Chex has gotten into some big time events including the Super Bowl so he’s doing pretty good with it and growing
You right that they’re doing great, but this episode took place 12 years ago and it took them about 8-9 years to grow into an actual business which would have been instant with mark cuban on board.
He didn't make the decision. Anyone can tell he wanted to say yes, but his partner made the decision of saying no for him. So he proved Mark right, he couldn't make the tough decisions and lacked leadership. I hope he turned himself around.
@@Ralelugono you’re just salty and don’t have money therefore will take anything the fact he was willing to say I wanna prove to you I can do it that’s actually showing he is. Leader now go cope
The app was NEVER tested. Didn't you hear? It was too warm in Indianapolis lol. It took the guy years and years of testing and investors plus a name change to be successful. He went in too early and didn't want to budge on equity, can't have it both ways.
Mark the savviest shark there instantly shot down his professors business plan they had countless hours to methodically prepare to pitch. I would’ve already been second guessing my professors judgement walking me into the shark tank to look foolish. Him trusting his professor over Mark Cuban and Cubans business experience is crazy.
Same reason Mr. Wonderful and Robert were "complaining." They articulated exactly why. Same reason Robert, Kevin, and Mark threw a git and walked off see when Daymond & Lori closed a deal once. *ARE YOU SLOW?!*
mark could have but the equity offered for something that wasn't tested yet was too low. The company got like 1 million in funding and had a whole name HQ change. Guy should have given away the equity this would have been easy flip for mark and they could have sold the company onced it boomed.
“I would have done this but it’s a little too hot right now” 🤣. That was one of the funniest moments in Shark Tank. BTW I would take Marks deal because he would be successful anyway and a lot sooner
On one hand, it made sense that since it was untested, they wouldn’t be willing to give him much without a whole lot of equity, so marks deal was fair and maybe even a little generous from his standpoint, willing to take that big of a risk for 33% But on the other hand, it makes perfect sense that the company owner wouldn’t want to give away 33% of his company, it’s just not worth it His business partner made the right call telling him to say no, and the other sharks only called him crazy because from their standpoint, marks offer was generous, but regardless, he’s not making a mistake by choosing not to take that.
It´s not about how much the company worth on that day, but where it can go with Mark. 500K + - in valuation is nothing comparing the millions he would do more with mark. Having a shark on board is another level of company... it opens so many doors that he could never even image
he went into the shark tank in 2012. The company was inactive until 2015 when it changed its name and now makes 10 million dollars a year for a few years in a row.
Glad that they made it till now. Feel bad for the guy at first. But then I saw the update that the company is worth around 7 million now and still thriving. So, may be, it's not such a bad idea to turn down Mark.
I think that’s just an arbitrary valuation based on a guess. More than a decade on, they’ve got a few big single venue clients like MOMA but they’ve never expanded like they thought they could - I’d say the main issue is that most venues already have systems that people are used to, so spending a lot of money on a complete new install and maintaining that isn’t too attractive. Nobody’s increasing their business just by installing a more expensive coat check

Daymond is correct he isn't educated enough in the space saying their is no other company doing it their is someone who does it just a different form factor solving the same problem. Their is no proof of concept its maybe a few pilots but no consumer data . He came in too early though to get funding. I've Pitched at 1.5 raise before you got to know your stuff cold.

I think he made a ball call listening to his teacher. I rather listen to a businessman about business than a teacher who only teaches it. You can't learn how to run a successful business from a book. It's outdated advice in an ever-changing business world.
His professor/business partner is a fool!! The company is currently doing $5M annually but Cuban would have made it $50M annually. I would’ve told Mark “Can we do 30%?” And would’ve run outta there knowing I just got in the fast track to being a millionaire.
Dr. Gerry Hays. He'd been a founder/co-founder of 3 different businesses, 2 of which he was still running, when this episode aired. CoatChex (now Chexology) is worth millions today. Seems to me that professor made the right call.
And that is why you're still unemployed or just earning a minimum wage. Look at their business now, it's worth 7miliion USD. They still succeed after declining the offer.
Absolutely. 200K at 15% or 20% is ridiculous. 0 sales and just a pilot program, c'mon. That is going to require a lot of a shark's time and effort to get any traction going.
Robert might have accepted a Million valuation but Daymond wouldn't shut his mouth. Barbara Mr Wonderful also turned down the offer but kept quite, Daymond should of just kept quite.
It took 12 years to be worth 7 million. He would have grown faster and be worth more money in 2-3 years if he accepted Mark Cuban. He was very silly to not accept that deal.
He is doing ok. He was able to get some accounts and proved the concept and get a round of seed funding. Revenue now is somewhere between 1 - 10 million (no one really knows the number of these startups)
I think he could have countered 200K for about 25 to 28%, that would have be pretty alright if you ask me, no track record but there's an obvious need to be fulfilled.
He didn't want to say no to Mark, and The only reason he had to turn down the offer, his partner said, "No." I bet if his partner were with him and heard Mark's request directly, he would've accepted it.
@@dauferm nah, i will take it. even losing 33%, even his company worth 7 mil and he only get 3,5mil from 50%. if giving Cuban 33% dan make company worth 75m. he get 25mil far more than worth it. Just like Comfy and Scrub Daddy. Having a Shark at can boost your progress very fast. remember the connection is not free.
Daymond's respose to Mark's offer is much funnier when you know that when invited to the show Mark's plan was to outbid everyone and buy everything to drive the other sharks crazy.
I think Derek made the right decision because he's not just in it for himself but his partner also has to agree . Plus they're asking for track record so he can always come back two Shark Tank or other investors at a later date with more leverage !
I think no, the company is 13 years old and seven million dollars. If Comfy, Squatty Potty, Bombas and Scrub Daddy with the help of shark they can improve so fast with connection. While right now is worth 7mil he get 50% which is 3,5m. if he gave cuban 33% and the company worth 75m. which is 25M each. its more okay. since there is no sales or even connection. that's just a prototype. that's why other shark angry at mark because he value the company high since there is no sales or even the machine fully function.
Arguably, maintaining integrity and loyalty to your obligations -- your business partner -- when you really want to say "yes" is making a tough decision.
You understand VERY little. Let me give you a big clue. The sharks' most precious commodity is time. This company would need a TON of their time to MAYBE make money and they would have to babysit a very inexperienced founder.
There is an old saying, those who can't, teach, this is exactly what just happened. Hayes background is not growing a company from nothing. Good luck ever getting this company to turn into a long lasting viable business.
I would’ve take taken the deal in a heartbeat and not have listened to his professor, but even though his professor is an investor he won’t take him places mark Cuban would’ve taken him.
He turned down the offer of a lifetime. The dude had no idea what he was doing. Mark needed that percentage to get the work done and worth his while. Just so sad and not very bright on the young man's part...
I mean... CoatChex is worth millions, now. His professor had founded/co-founded 3 businesses at the time of this episode's airing. They made a good call together.
Why does the intro that looks like an audition tape? Huge amount of peer pressure at the end from the Sharks though he did prove to Mark that he could make tough decisions by listening to his partner. This ep was shown back in 2012 and they have made this a successful business.
His professor should've known to not have it on Shark Tank before having sales or testing it while it's in season. Any investor or company can evaluate your bushiness for however much you want when there's no sales if they think it's a good idea.
The guy came to The Tank at the wrong time. All he has to do is get this proven through some testing, get some paying clients, and increase the valuation. The real question is whether or not the technology actually works yet. If he needs $200K for additional R&D, he cannot wait. If you think this guy is going to be a successful enterprise systems and software R&D leader, 20% is worth $200K. Point-of-sale technology is an important category. We didn't see them explore the technology, the development plan, or his tech leadership ability.
I’ll tell you what happen you listen to your professor instead of your brain Mark literally could’ve put this at the Mavericks stadium who by the way play a good portion of their games during winter and if it worked, he would’ve had enough credibility to get it other places and he probably could’ve even got it in other stadiums. If you then add a revenue percentage every time one is used well, needless to say it would’ve been a smart deal
He needs to comeup with ideas for a use of the booth year round."don't forget you need to show the business owner that he needs it ,his customers will love it,and it will make him money,everything is all ready in place to test the market for it." I would have taken the deal. Never let a third-party tell you how to manage" YOUR MONEY " You can do it you can make decisions have confidence in yourself. I would love 😍 to see you become a millionaire ❤🎉❤
He made a mistake by listening to his business partner. His business partner/professor gave him very bad advice. He could learn a lot from Mark Cuban. But seems he did okay anyways with a 7 million revenue stream. So maybe it was the sharks that made the mistake.
Shark tank is the wrong type of investors for just a startup. The shark tank investors just want to invest in companies that have good numbers and if they think they can improve those numbers. For just a startup they are in the best case scenario going to make a lowball offer because there is a lot more risk involved since there is no proof that the business actually can make money.
Make it into an automated kiosk and let fascial recognition and automation do all of the work. Basically an automated locker kiosk where you could store anything.
Robert's asking this guy to bid against himself and giving him zero direction on what he thinks a reasonable valuation is. If I came in asking for $200,000 for 10% and was asked to make a better offer with no direction, 15% is probably where I would go.

I mean... CoatChex is worth millions, now. His professor had founded/co-founded 3 businesses at the time of this episode's airing. They made a good call together.
@dismalthoughts coatchex is done, they sold it to chexology. different owner now
Why does the intro that looks like an audition tape? Huge amount of peer pressure at the end from the Sharks though he did prove to Mark that he could make tough decisions by listening to his partner. This ep was shown back in 2012 and they have made this a successful business.
Why is Daymond acting like he's the wealthiest shark there?! Lol
This is a lifetime regret that will NEVER go away 😅😅😅
Passing that offer is crazy
Update: Today the company is rebranded into Chexology and is a multi-million dollar tech company. He really knew his decisions.
😊😊 its ok u said your going to prove yourself first.... Thats a very good idea.....
My coat was stolen I can never forget. This is an excellent business to start I don't understand Shark's talking negative
His professor should've known to not have it on Shark Tank before having sales or testing it while it's in season.
Any investor or company can evaluate your bushiness for however much you want when there's no sales if they think it's a good idea.
Currently the company's networth is 7million dollars
That's their annual revenue. What is their net profit? How much of the company did he have to give away to raise money later on?
Turned down a billionaire and team owner. People would sell their soul to work with mark. Just him alone could get you connected to many opportunities
10:28 Well that didn't age well lmao "I can flip it in silicon valley in about 15 sec"
looks like the dude came in lit. His pupils were way to dilated for the lighting.
The guy came to The Tank at the wrong time. All he has to do is get this proven through some testing, get some paying clients, and increase the valuation.
The real question is whether or not the technology actually works yet. If he needs $200K for additional R&D, he cannot wait.
If you think this guy is going to be a successful enterprise systems and software R&D leader, 20% is worth $200K. Point-of-sale technology is an important category. We didn't see them explore the technology, the development plan, or his tech leadership ability.
I’ll tell you what happen you listen to your professor instead of your brain Mark literally could’ve put this at the Mavericks stadium who by the way play a good portion of their games during winter and if it worked, he would’ve had enough credibility to get it other places and he probably could’ve even got it in other stadiums. If you then add a revenue percentage every time one is used well, needless to say it would’ve been a smart deal
He needs to comeup with ideas for a use of the booth year round."don't forget you need to show the business owner that he needs it ,his customers will love it,and it will make him money,everything is all ready in place to test the market for it." I would have taken the deal. Never let a third-party tell you how to manage" YOUR MONEY " You can do it you can make decisions have confidence in yourself. I would love 😍 to see you become a millionaire ❤🎉❤
He made a mistake by listening to his business partner. His business partner/professor gave him very bad advice. He could learn a lot from Mark Cuban. But seems he did okay anyways with a 7 million revenue stream. So maybe it was the sharks that made the mistake.
Barbara makes me crack up every time....
I dont think people realize the advantages a shark can bring
I havent seen a coat check in like 15 years 😂
Mark would’ve accepted 25%, poor negotiation skills from this guy
Mark started laughing bc he knew the company was gonna be successful...
Like how the partner had so much say in the business decisions but didnt even turn up for a Shark Tank pitch. Whole thing seems like amateur hour
I was thinking the same the entire time. great minds think alike.
Why are they showing old episodes
Shark tank is the wrong type of investors for just a startup. The shark tank investors just want to invest in companies that have good numbers and if they think they can improve those numbers. For just a startup they are in the best case scenario going to make a lowball offer because there is a lot more risk involved since there is no proof that the business actually can make money.
The company has a revenue of more than $7 million today
Only lesson here is never listen to your professor. Lol
He's young. Should have taken the offer and built himself up from there
This idea was in impractical jokers and was funny
Make it into an automated kiosk and let fascial recognition and automation do all of the work. Basically an automated locker kiosk where you could store anything.
College professorship of not negotiating. Regardless, it would have been more beneficial to make a deal with Cuban.
Guy looks familiar. Isn't he the intern from Kramerica Industries?
Declining mark is crazy, i was hoping his counter to be 25
Robert's asking this guy to bid against himself and giving him zero direction on what he thinks a reasonable valuation is. If I came in asking for $200,000 for 10% and was asked to make a better offer with no direction, 15% is probably where I would go.
That’s the reason the professor is giving tests on testbooks instead of actually doing business now
Cuba is a devil with horns.. I love the way he smiles and plans. You can see it in his eyes, pure genius
