Founders Byron Dunn, Mark Melni, and Armand Eckert stepped onto the carpet in Season 6, Episode 25 in the episode that aired April 17, 2015, bringing their Twin Falls, ID business with them. Melni Connectors, the electronics, pitched in the Electronics category, one of 18 electronics businesses to brave the Tank across all 17 seasons.
The ask was $500,000 for 5% of the company, an implied valuation of $10M.
Mark Cuban made the deal at $500,000 for 12% equity. That priced the company at $4.2M, a haircut from the $10M the founders walked in asking for, which is how negotiations in the Tank usually go.
