The team stepped onto the carpet in Season 5, Episode 29 in the episode that aired May 16, 2014, bringing their Aurora, IL business with them. Tie-Not, 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 $125,000 for 10% of the company, an implied valuation of $1.3M.
No deal. Every shark declined, and Tie-Not 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.
Season 5 saw 116 pitches, and 60 of them closed a deal on air. In the Kids & Education category overall, roughly 66% of pitches have landed a shark across the show's history.
