Nikki Pope faced the sharks in Season 2, Episode 2 in the episode that aired March 25, 2011, bringing their Los Angeles, CA business with them. Toygaroo, the toys and games, pitched in the Kids & Education category, one of 134 kids & education businesses to brave the Tank across all 17 seasons.
They came in asking $100,000 in exchange for 10% equity, putting a $1M valuation on the business.
Mark Cuban and Kevin O'Leary teamed up at $200,000 for 35% equity. That priced the company at $571K, a haircut from the $1M the founders walked in asking for, which is how negotiations in the Tank usually go.
Across Season 2, 19 of 36 pitches ended in a handshake. In the Kids & Education category overall, roughly 66% of pitches have landed a shark across the show's history.
