Carol Foster faced the sharks in Season 4, Episode 23 in the episode that aired May 3, 2013, bringing their Inglewood, CA business with them. Mee Ma's Gumbo, the me-ma's gumbo bricks - specialty food, pitched in the Food & Drink category, one of 318 food & drink businesses to brave the Tank across all 17 seasons.
They came in asking $200,000 in exchange for 20% equity, putting a $1M valuation on the business.
Lori Greiner and Kevin O'Leary teamed up at $200,000 for 50% equity. That priced the company at $400K, a haircut from the $1M the founders walked in asking for, which is how negotiations in the Tank usually go.
