Andy Sperry faced the sharks in Season 1, Episode 11 in the episode that aired January 8, 2010, bringing their Franklin, TN business with them. Ink Flip, the electronics, pitched in the Electronics category, one of 18 electronics businesses to brave the Tank across all 17 seasons.
They came in asking $150,000 in exchange for 20% equity, putting a $750K valuation on the business.
Ink Flip 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 1, 27 of 64 pitches ended in a handshake. In the Electronics category overall, roughly 44% of pitches have landed a shark across the show's history.
