Fixed built an app around one very specific promise: fight your parking ticket for you, automatically. Mark Cuban loved the idea enough to offer a deal in Season 7. What actually killed the company was not competition or bad reviews, it was cities themselves cutting off the app's access to the systems it needed to work.

The Short Answer

Fixed is out of business. The app ceased operations after being acquired by a law firm in 2016, and there is no active Fixed product today. It was never sold through Amazon, since this was always a software service rather than a physical product.

This is a case where the product idea was sound, the shark deal genuinely closed, and the company still could not survive contact with city government bureaucracy.

The Shark Tank Pitch

Fixed appeared in Season 7, Episode 14, pitching a mobile app that helped users contest and beat parking tickets, and later traffic citations, automatically rather than requiring people to navigate the process themselves.

Founder David Hegarty asked for 700,000 dollars in exchange for 5 percent equity, pitching a service with genuinely mass-market appeal since almost everyone who drives has gotten an unfair ticket at some point.

The Deal That Got Done

Mark Cuban made the deal on air, agreeing to the full 700,000 dollars but taking 7 percent equity instead of the 5 percent on the table, with an additional 2 percent structured as advisory shares. David accepted those terms.

Unlike a lot of Shark Tank deals that quietly die in due diligence, this one is reported to have actually closed. The problem came from outside the deal entirely: after the episode was filmed in 2015, cities including Oakland, San Francisco, and Los Angeles blocked Fixed from accessing the online systems it needed to submit ticket contests on users' behalf.

Fixed net worth in 2026

Fixed has no net worth to report in 2026. The company ceased operations after its 2016 acquisition by Lawgix, and there has been no relaunch or successor product operating under the Fixed name since. Any dollar figure attached to the company today would be describing a business that has not existed for roughly a decade, so the honest number is zero and closed rather than any speculative valuation.

Blocked by the Cities It Was Built to Fight

Fixed's core value proposition depended entirely on being able to access municipal ticketing systems to file contests programmatically. When Oakland, San Francisco, and Los Angeles cut off that access, reporting describes the company facing everything from being locked out of city ticket websites to agencies simply disconnecting the fax machines Fixed had been using to submit paperwork.

Rather than shut down immediately, Fixed tried to pivot, shutting down its original parking ticket business to focus instead on traffic citations, a related but narrower niche. That pivot bought some time but was not enough to sustain the company independently.

Five months to the day after the Shark Tank episode aired, Fixed was acquired by Lawgix, a multi-state law firm, according to TechCrunch's coverage of the deal at the time. The acquisition folded Fixed's technology and team into Lawgix's operations, and the standalone Fixed app and brand were discontinued not long after.

A Different Kind of Failure

Most defunct Shark Tank companies on this site failed because the product did not sell, the market moved on, or the founders ran out of cash chasing an expensive pivot. Fixed is a rarer case: the deal closed, the founder and Mark Cuban actually agreed on terms, and the product worked as advertised for the users who got to try it.

What Fixed could not survive was a handful of city governments deciding, after the fact, that they did not want an automated tool contesting tickets at scale. That is a regulatory risk that is nearly impossible to underwrite from a shark's chair during a five-minute pitch, and it is a useful reminder that consumer-facing products built on top of government systems carry a kind of fragility that pure retail products do not.

Where Things Stand Now

Fixed pitched in Season 7, asked for 700,000 dollars for 5 percent, and closed with Mark Cuban for the full amount at 7 percent equity plus 2 percent in advisory shares, a deal that actually went through. City-level access restrictions rather than the shark deal itself ultimately doomed the business, and Fixed was acquired by law firm Lawgix in 2016 before quietly shutting down.

If you downloaded this app hoping to fight a ticket, it will not help you today. The company has been closed for roughly a decade.
