  • I think they should start every video with Barbara saying "I'm out", this way we can save so much wasted time!
  • @abumrabum8653
    He should've said he is open to licencing and get Robert back in. Or at least counter Kevin to be equal partner with him. Brutal deal
  • @diogo082
    21 years ?! Damn, this dude is so mature. More than me with +30.
  • @Rafaelhdeusp
    4 months after recording Kevin gave up the business and currently the company has an annual net profit of 2 million dollars. This guy is living well.
  • @lauradufresne6628
    I love how Robert got a helmet and a dagger while mark got a piece of pizza 😂.
  • @johnpool1922
    Tip to future shark tank contestants. When creating something specifically made for Cuban, make it mavs related. Guarantee your chance of landing a deal with him goes up 50%
  • @acetrainer69
    He should have countered for 40% so he could still be the majority stakeholder.
  • I read in Forbes that this guy was visibly upset in the exit interview because he thought he gave away too much equity. The producers had to convince him it was a good deal. Then four months later, O’Leary called off the deal due to too much competition in the toy industry.
  • @TheGadfly85
    I'm sure Kevin takes a royalty from every subscription to this channel.
  • @ssratseng5662
    This was my toy for a long time. So surprise to see this on shark tank!
  • I love kevin, but today, man that offer was brutal he knew that guy had no option rather than taking the deal
  • Barb: "You came in with two legs and a heartbeat, so for those reasons I'm out!!"
  • Kevin changed his offer after everyone else dropped out 🤣 Vlad should've countered at 40%
  • @ragedea237
    I would absolutely not have taken that. I’ve watched a lot of shark tank, and I’ve never seen Kevin nearly DOUBLE his ask in equity solely based on the other sharks being out. That’s insulting, and it would have insulted me. I would have countered with 35% once he went to 50%.
  • @ivy6176
    He should have given Mark a Mavericks Logo, not a slice of pepperoni pizza (he doesn’t eat that)
  • Remember: Musk holds only 13% of Tesla, Bezos has 10% of Amazon, and Bill Gates hold just 1.4% of Microsoft. If you start a company, you never end up controlling everything and often not even a majority share. Businesses only survive due to a group effort, and the equity reflects that. That said, it was a crap deal, and I'm glad it fell through.
  • He should of took the 30% but honestly 35% of something huge is better than 85% of 100k let’s be honest. He pretty much said yes I don’t need to do the heavy lifting. Thank you very much Kevin. What a humble guy! Remember, he is young he can always create a new business and use the newly acquired wealth to build this next one!
