Founder Kevin Flannery stepped onto the carpet in Season 1, Episode 1 in the episode that aired August 9, 2009, bringing their Cary, NC business with them. Wispots, the consumer services, pitched in the Business Services category, one of 42 business services businesses to brave the Tank across all 17 seasons.
The ask was $1,200,000 for 10% of the company, an implied valuation of $12M.
No deal. Every shark declined, and Wispots 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.
