Cactus Jack faced the sharks in Season 1, Episode 5 in the episode that aired September 6, 2009, bringing their Ames, IA business with them. Body Jac, the fitness equipment, pitched in the Sports & Outdoors category, one of 154 sports & outdoors businesses to brave the Tank across all 17 seasons.
They came in asking $180,000 in exchange for 20% equity, putting a $900K valuation on the business.
Barbara Corcoran made the deal at $180,000 for 50% equity. That priced the company at $360K, a haircut from the $900K the founders walked in asking for, which is how negotiations in the Tank usually go.
Across Season 1, 27 of 64 pitches ended in a handshake. In the Sports & Outdoors category overall, roughly 64% of pitches have landed a shark across the show's history.
