She asked for $250K for 5%. The Sharks liked the traction: $200K in sales and aiming for $400K that year.

With just $200K in sales, she landed a $250K deal with Kevin O’Leary and Robert Herjavec, trading 10% equity. That small slice turned into a massive win: the company later sold for $9.3M. Don’t underestimate niche markets. Passion + data = profit. Would you have invested in cat DNA kits back then? Fol
