The team stepped onto the carpet in Season 5, Episode 9 in the episode that aired November 15, 2013, bringing their Washington, DC business with them. Surprise Ride, the toys and games, pitched in the Kids & Education category, one of 134 kids & education businesses to brave the Tank across all 17 seasons.
The ask was $110,000 for 10% of the company, an implied valuation of $1.1M.
No deal. Every shark declined, and Surprise Ride 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.
