Cyndi Bray faced the sharks in Season 13, Episode 5 in the episode that aired November 5, 2021. Wad Free, the wad preventer for washing machines, pitched in the Home & Lifestyle category, one of 260 home & lifestyle businesses to brave the Tank across all 17 seasons.
They came in asking $200,000 in exchange for 5% equity, putting a $4M valuation on the business.
Kevin O'Leary made the deal at $200,000 for 10% equity. That priced the company at $2M, a haircut from the $4M the founders walked in asking for, which is how negotiations in the Tank usually go. The structure included a royalty component.
Across Season 13, 64 of 96 pitches ended in a handshake. In the Home & Lifestyle category overall, roughly 68% of pitches have landed a shark across the show's history.
