Founder Dan Claffey stepped onto the carpet in Season 1, Episode 4 in the episode that aired August 30, 2009, bringing their Dayton, OH business with them. Coffee Brand Gifts, the novelties, pitched in the Food & Drink category, one of 318 food & drink businesses to brave the Tank across all 17 seasons.
The ask was $300,000 for 40% of the company, an implied valuation of $750K.
