The pitch

The founders from FL pitched Human Bobber in Shark Tank Season 9, Episode 5 (aired Oct 22, 2017). They asked for $120,000 in exchange for 15% equity, valuing the business at $800K. The entrepreneurs walked away with a deal from Robert Herjavec: $120,000 for 33.3%. That put the final valuation at $360K, 55% below what they originally asked for.
