- Sought valuation
The founders walked into the Tank in Season 8, Episode 21 in the episode that aired April 14, 2017. Validated, the app that earns credit toward covering transportation costs, pitched in the Tech & Software category, one of 73 tech & software businesses to brave the Tank across all 17 seasons.
On the carpet, the number was $250,000 for a 8% stake, which valued the company at $3.1M.
The sharks passed, and Validated 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.
Validated was one of 96 businesses to pitch in Season 8, where 59 deals got done. In the Tech & Software category overall, roughly 56% of pitches have landed a shark across the show's history.
