The Shark Tank pitch

Sought valuation

Todd Colby Pliss walked into the Tank in Season 3, Episode 8 in the episode that aired March 9, 2012, bringing their Los Angeles, CA business with them. Rent-A-Grandma, the consumer services, pitched in the Home & Lifestyle category, one of 260 home & lifestyle businesses to brave the Tank across all 17 seasons.

On the carpet, the number was $150,000 for a 20% stake, which valued the company at $750K.

The sharks passed, and Rent-A-Grandma 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.

Rent-A-Grandma was one of 60 businesses to pitch in Season 3, where 28 deals got done. In the Home & Lifestyle category overall, roughly 68% of pitches have landed a shark across the show's history.
