Joel Vinocur and Arsene Millogo faced the sharks in Season 6, Episode 24 in the episode that aired April 10, 2015, bringing their Indianapolis, IN business with them. Forus, the men and women's shoes, pitched in the Sports & Outdoors category, one of 154 sports & outdoors businesses to brave the Tank across all 17 seasons.
They came in asking $200,000 in exchange for 15% equity, putting a $1.3M valuation on the business.
Forus couldn't land an offer the founders would take, and the pitch ended without a deal. History says that's survivable: several of the show's biggest success stories left the Tank empty-handed.
Across Season 6, 66 of 116 pitches ended in a handshake. In the Sports & Outdoors category overall, roughly 64% of pitches have landed a shark across the show's history.
