The entrepreneurs faced the sharks in Season 7, Episode 23 in the episode that aired April 8, 2016. Trobo, the interactive story-telling plush robot, 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.
Robert Herjavec made the deal at $166,666 for 33.3% equity. That priced the company at $500K, a haircut from the $1M the founders walked in asking for, which is how negotiations in the Tank usually go.
