The pitch

Dave Mayer from Oakland, CA pitched The Clean Bottle in Shark Tank Season 3, Episode 1 (aired Jan 20, 2012). They asked for $60,000 in exchange for 5% equity, valuing the business at $1.2M. The entrepreneurs walked away with a deal from Mark Cuban: $60,000 for 8%. That put the final valuation at $750K, 38% below what they originally asked for.
