The team stepped onto the carpet in Season 8, Episode 7 in the episode that aired November 4, 2016. Safe Catch, the machine that can test the mercury content in tuna, pitched in the Food & Drink category, one of 318 food & drink businesses to brave the Tank across all 17 seasons.
The ask was $600,000 for 3% of the company, an implied valuation of $20M.
No deal. Every shark declined, and Safe Catch walked. But a Shark Tank appearance reaches millions of viewers whether or not a check gets written, and plenty of no-deal companies have turned that airtime into lasting businesses.
