Jim O'Brien walked into the Tank in Season 5, Episode 2 in the episode that aired September 27, 2013, bringing their Waterford, MI business with them. Man Medals, the novelties, pitched in the Other category, one of 39 other businesses to brave the Tank across all 17 seasons.
On the carpet, the number was $10,000 for a 10% stake, which valued the company at $100K.
The sharks passed, and Man Medals left without a deal. That's not always the end of the story. Some of Shark Tank's most successful companies were rejected on air and grew anyway, using the exposure (the "Shark Tank effect") to drive sales the sharks missed out on.
Man Medals was one of 116 businesses to pitch in Season 5, where 60 deals got done. In the Other category overall, roughly 69% of pitches have landed a shark across the show's history.
