Julie Goldman faced the sharks in Season 2, Episode 8 in the episode that aired May 6, 2011, bringing their Montclair, NJ business with them. Original Runner Company, the weddings, pitched in the Home & Lifestyle category, one of 260 home & lifestyle businesses to brave the Tank across all 17 seasons.

They came in asking $250,000 in exchange for 15% equity, putting a $1.7M valuation on the business.

Original Runner Company 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 2, 19 of 36 pitches ended in a handshake. In the Home & Lifestyle category overall, roughly 68% of pitches have landed a shark across the show's history.
