The pitch

The founders from CA pitched PupBox in Shark Tank Season 8, Episode 9 (aired Nov 18, 2016). They asked for $250,000 in exchange for 10% equity, valuing the business at $2.5M. The entrepreneurs walked away with a deal from Robert Herjavec: $250,000 for 15%. That put the final valuation at $1.67M, 33% below what they originally asked for.
