- Sought valuation
April Morris walked into the Tank in Season 2, Episode 5 in the episode that aired April 15, 2011, bringing their Indianapolis, IN business with them. Thin Gloss, the personal care and cosmetics, pitched in the Fashion & Beauty category, one of 239 fashion & beauty businesses to brave the Tank across all 17 seasons.
On the carpet, the number was $80,000 for a 20% stake, which valued the company at $400K.
The sharks passed, and Thin Gloss 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.
Thin Gloss was one of 36 businesses to pitch in Season 2, where 19 deals got done. In the Fashion & Beauty category overall, roughly 58% of pitches have landed a shark across the show's history.
