The issue, as others have stated, is this is the wrong market. Kids are super sensitive to fitting in, and no kid is gonna want to wear this and be called a dork. Also, the backpack part is entirely too small to carry school books. This should have been marketed to adult hikers and festival-goers.

⁠@@haylonixyou are right, she has closed 29% of her deals, and I believe Robert closes 30% of his, but keep in mind that Mark Cuban has a lot more money so maybe he lets things slide more than other sharks would. Due diligence might reveal things that make them no longer want to close, but for Cuban, he may be less strict. Lori being strict would make sense since she is has made a lot of money through these deals.

Beyond the “dork-factor” parents won’t buy-in because it’s size restrictive. The weight distribution benefits rely on a decently snug fit which means you’re lucky if this lasts your kid more than a year before they out-grow it. Not worth trading adjustable straps for.

@alexmarlow2508 10 ай бұрын

they didn't go out of business, because they were never in business, they can't fizzle out because there was nothing to begin with. They were home watching Shark Tank and was thinking if they could get lucky and get rich with a investment from the sharks, but they had no good business ideas, so they picked the only thing they had which was some random thing from 16 years ago, and the casting team knew how ridiculous this is so they invited them on for the humor and to get the reactions from the Sharks

+@@alexmarlow2508 this isn't even true, look into it.
