Lol lab created diamonds aren’t fake. In fact their composition is made up of the same as natural grown diamonds. The only difference is how they’re grown. Lab created saves more lives as well.
Bro this guy legit had me so anxious and nervous, he refused the deals, countered, legit did everything he could. This was somehow hard to watch but it ended up good
His answer to Mark's questions should have been. That's grat if other companies can do what we are doing, that means more communities will be getting access to clean water faster"
That's still not a good answer. The charity work & ethics is the ONLY thing that separates Do Amore from other jewelry companies. If the other guys start doing it, Do Amore will lose their novelty & they'll be crushed by the competition
Should have doubled down to call them out. Diamond mines have long paid workers garbage pay and reaped thousands fold benefits. The job can be done better. A lot better.
Meh…If the humanitarian effort is only offered to increase customer acquisition & business profits….is his heart really in the right place? He’s helping people…but it’s not like it’s his only goal, just like Mr Beast isn’t just giving away cars and houses for the hell of it. It’s for views.
I think you can have a good heart by having a good mission AND make a profitable business as well and there’s no problem with that. It’s a win-win! If Mr. Beast didn’t have the business of UA-cam and other businesses he couldn’t do all the good he does. He’d honestly probably be making median salary without UA-cam and couldn’t do 100th of what he does with UA-cam. He certainly didn’t have to use his UA-cam funds to do giveaways either. He could be retired with a mansion by now. What’s wrong with doing good AND making money?
@Smood47 not anyone can do it. People wouldnt buy it if it was run by mega corporations. The only people who can do it are truly good people with good intentions like mr beast. But it's hard for a person with ethics and morals to make it to 11 million in sales without harming anyone or being unethical
@@mohamedhussein2780 Don't bring Mr beast into it... Anyone can copy him.. I don't even know what it was is it a charity or a business... There's cheaps of charity's that bring water to these communities as well as big business's to donate to them because ( I don't know about America but in Australia if you donate to charitys you get a tax write off)
Sometimes it's wild when sharks say those things. If they're not a personal user of the product they'll be out. I remember a girl who came in with a fake flower business with good sales. And they were so out of touch with the fact that most people don't appreciate a 50$ flower arrangement that will be worthless in a few days. A shark asked lori and Barbara if they'd be happy with it, and they Said they prefer real flowers. And they judged the business based on that.
Actually to summarize, what she meant was she doesn't feel passionate about the industry. Not a jewelry person. It's not a ridiculous reason, it's just a long winded story to state her reason
This is such a smart business because I imagine it's quite overwhelming for people to choose the right ring seller and the right ring, so having the charitable and ethical sourcing aspects makes the first choice easy and then the website lays everything out to help make the other choice easier. Lab diamonds too.
Its an easy to copy business. Any major jewelry company can find a charity to attach their name to. Plus he has to charge alot higher prices for his rings to make up for the lost. Nice small niche market for him.
@@namhuy1216 Tbh what business *isn't* easy to copy these days, I feel like I see comments like this on every Shark Tank video lol Not necessarily agreeing or disagreeing, just noticing that seemingly every single business is easy to copy, therefore trying to stand-out is almost impossible or detrimental.
@@namhuy1216 yeah but nobody will believe it not pay for it, it s a lot of work to give real info on where the money went who they helped and where, big companies would for 1 not tax themselves 20% and even if they did charities it would be something bs people see through
I thought Kevin’s deal was actually really good (better than losing an additional 8% equity on a Shark who outright said they don’t have experience with this type of business). 100 dollars per transaction/sale until 1.8 million is recouped (3 x 600k) would give them 180k transactions/sales to pay Mr. wonderful. And with inflation going the way it is, as well as the sheer cost of jewelry, 100 dollars is almost negligible. If I were the business owner, I’d have retained more of my company.
There are two primary reasons why this deal happened. One, because the entrepreneur was impressive. Second, there was a social intent complimenting the business. Deals like these are likely to encourage other entrepreneurs to think on similar lines and take the road less travelled...🎉
These types of companies are concerning to me. One of the problems of a lot of these “clean water” initiatives is that once the wells are built, there is no one in these local communities with the knowledge or skills to maintenance them, and they quickly fall into disrepair. I wish the sharks would have dug a bit more into the logistics of the charity portion of this business. Are they hiring and training locals to maintain the wells? Are they providing regular maintenance other ways? What is the ongoing, compounding cost to keep so many wells functional around the world?
I believe he still folded even though he got a deal Mr. Wonderful was the shark you would actually want to go with he literally knows and runs that space unlike any other shark I believe he would of helped them and opened more doors for them
Just out of principle I wouldn't accept an offer that high. They keep doing it and making high offers because a lot of entrepreneurs are simps and have no backbone. I'll gladly keep what success I already had going and forfeit any potential growth with Kevin just to show a little backbone. People out here would blow him in the back of the studio to increase their net worth.. pathetic.
@@mrbong123Idk...the point of the sharktank is to find someone to help scale your business. If he would've gotten Kevin then he could donate even more money to his cause...sacrificing that growth of his mission for a metaphorical backbone is not worth it to me tbh but eh. On top of that Daniel took 12%/15% vs Kevin's 6% with a royalty that dies with the 1.8 million. So he lost even MORE of his company than he would have with Kevin.
@@TornSilencio that's totally you're prerogative. I personally would choose to not be taken advantage by a rich sleazeball. The offer is insulting. By him even uttering it is disrespectful and shouldn't be given a shred of justification by you or anyone accepting or even entertaining an offer like that.
....that were provided to her by the wardrobe dept of the show. DUH. Why are there always so many comments by children who think that TV shows are real life 💀💀💀
These people really don’t understand what they’re getting when partnering with a shark. He almost lost a big investment, money and knowledge wise, just because of 3%
The literal _job_ of the sharks is to gaslight successful businesses into undercutting themselves and agreeing to a deal that's bad for the entrepreneur.
I'm totally agreeing with Barbara. Buying overpriced monopolized rocks that only cost a lot due to artificial scarcity, is ridiculous and people should be ashamed
I'm always skeptical about these do-gooder businesses. Usually you wait a few years and go to those places where they're supposed to be doing good and it's mostly just for show or at best a mixed bag
Right!!! Why no one has tackled that huge water issue there though? Or maybe that issue was intentional. I am very shocked that somebody in the US doesn't have clean drinking water like it some 3rd world country.
I love Barbaras philosophy about wedding and engement rings...they are a waste of money and you could have a nice car or something else..also I look at the women today and all the rings look the same a symbol of commitment and love shouldnt be 2k-25k ..its in your heart and values ...buy something you need or some nice trips to make memories...I have a friend who got a cubic zirconia 2 carat size..no one cares and it looks like all the others
Yeah, they never mention anything locally because operations would be more transparent and they probably wouldn't be able to get away with as many tax loopholes.
Mr Wonderful was the best Shark. That’s his industry. Sometimes you got to pay a premium for the experience. He got a very rich Shark with less experience in that world… bridal industry.
I hate it when someone offers their business with the frill of humanitarian aid or donations. they camouflage behind it. in my opinion it should be done separately so that the impression is not like a scam.
It's such a nothing product any company could claim to do this. And it gives me real vibes of that company that promised to plant trees for every sale and then shocker never did.
How to be a NRI dude on Shark Tank US 101 - Come to the show with a product which is wayyy cheaper in India or Asia than US - Come up with a story of how your parents moved to US with 5 dollars in their pocket. - Come up with an equally BS story about providing drinking water to even a country like India. 10K USD for a lab grown diamond ? Seriously dude?
I think if Kevin has an existing wedding business, he should have picked Kevin as his partner. The valuation would be what he had in mind, but he needs to pay Kevin for partnering up with his wedding business.
Did you not hear they sell rings for 250 and he wanted a 100 kicker on each? Nobody wins but Kevin when he buys the company cheap as it fails from not producing any profit lol
After see him offering 13% vs 15% I would quickly pull back from my offer knowing that I would have issues with this guy over every little minuscule thing!
Don't contestants realize that the televised deals are still tentative? The real number crunching and legal scrutiny comes in the backrooms afterward. I would advise any contestant who frets about a couple percentage points in equity to just take the deal. The shark may be more lenient off camera.
You can tell that his internal max when he walked in was 10%, because he thought Kevin was the last shark and he wanted to give his best offer before he walked away. But then Daniel jumped back in. Daniel was able to squeeze an extra 5% out of him in the heat of the moment. Another victim in the shark tank.
He was asking for $600k for 10% in the end which equates a $6 million dollar evaluation, when he’s gonna make $11 million on the year, and had $26m accumulated. He got robbed at 15% for $600k. His 6% was fair.
Agree; but in giving up more he helps boost his sales and the popularity of the brand by several folds. So I feel it was worth the deal. These sharks are household names. You strike a deal with them; you make money and they make money. I get it that they are greedy; but if someone does not want the deal; they are free to walk away. They go home with free advertising which is still worth the value in gold. Its a win win situation either way. I still think he should have taken Kevin's offer. Though it had a royalty; he'd end up giving up only 6^%; which is what he was wanting to give up to begin with. From that point of view; he didn't make a good deal.
I would agree with you if the margins weren't so thin. The sales numbers are misleading because he's not pulling any more than 5% of his sales as profit. Therefore, the numbers look flashy but all that glitters is not gold.
Barbara: "I love your business, your sales are phenomenal, you are the greatest entrepeneur we've ever seen in Shark Tank and you are an incredible person, and for those reasons, I'm out"
I think him saying I’m your biggest fan to Daniel got him the offer at the end.. but I’m not entirely convinced on the noble intentions on the Charity scheme.. seemed a bit forced, but could be wrong.. good for him on the sales though
8:44 that’s right there is why I love and respect Mr Wonderful. What he says right there. Also his royalty would have been dissolved in no time. 3X… that’s it
Hate deals like this. 15% but he donates 3% to the cause? OK, that's exactly the same as the shark taking 12% with the caveat of the entrepreneur donating 3% to the cause. Or him just taking 15%. He still loses 15%.

I would agree with you if the margins weren't so thin. The sales numbers are misleading because he's not pulling any more than 5% of his sales as profit. Therefore, the numbers look flashy but all that glitters is not gold.
Barbara: "I love your business, your sales are phenomenal, you are the greatest entrepeneur we've ever seen in Shark Tank and you are an incredible person, and for those reasons, I'm out"
I think him saying I’m your biggest fan to Daniel got him the offer at the end.. but I’m not entirely convinced on the noble intentions on the Charity scheme.. seemed a bit forced, but could be wrong.. good for him on the sales though
It's literally free marketing and huge write off
Barbara acting cute here for reacting for 3400 dollars ring
he was about to lose daniel as well, so close
Barbra left mark Cuban hanging 😂
He already knew barbara would be out so gave a cheaper ring 😂
His story could be a movie
Mr. Wonderful is the Grinch of economics.
For some reason all the Indian entrepreneurs have some social cause! I'm proud to be Indian and proud of our upbringing 🥰
Very holier than thou kinda people?
We don't eat meat, we're spirtual, lots of looking down on us.
@@blazer9547 Nothing as such! And who said we don't eat meat ? And spiritual? .. Not most us.. We are just raised well with ethics and morals
Definitely invest in anyone from India. Smart n hard working, great life values
He made less than 100k with 8 million in sales. Smart business.
Non Barbara Sharks: Pen to paper calculating valuation.
Barbara: Pen to paper writing ridiculous reasons to be out.
Who else was screaming at the screen"take the OFFER!!"
Barbara: you have made a pitch, I'm out
11M in sales and 10M valuation is crazy? What how?
He almost fumbled the bag twice 🤣😂
Bruuhh Barbara is hilarious!!! lolll
Mr. Wonderful is the show. By the way I'm from also Houston texas too
Never argue with Lord Cuban.
8:44 that’s right there is why I love and respect Mr Wonderful. What he says right there. Also his royalty would have been dissolved in no time. 3X… that’s it
Hate deals like this. 15% but he donates 3% to the cause? OK, that's exactly the same as the shark taking 12% with the caveat of the entrepreneur donating 3% to the cause. Or him just taking 15%. He still loses 15%.
How about a Water Well in Flint, Michigan....
they still have bad water?! //.
@@alterartgn But Obama said it was fine.
When they negotiate for single digit percentage points i always hope they lose the deal. I hate that level of greed.
Barbra was furious she has a dollar store ring 🤣🤣🤔😭
I'm single always have been single no1 wants me coz I'm crazy and i always go out, and for that reason "I'm out" - barbara
"sorry... There's no water. The engagement is off"
Do that many people get married a year? Or do people get rings for other occasions.
Not many people get married, but they spend a LOT of money when they do.
If the avg orther is around 3k they need to do only 5k sales a year and thats online.
