@@jasoncross7819 your comment is so under-appreciated 🤣 I have been searching the comments for someone to mention this dudes infomercial vibe he's got going there.
I think what he was trying to say is the men think they have everything figured out and trying to say men think they know it all but this is something new and a game changer but he worded it terribly.
Long eye lashes are so important to success and happiness in life. Seriously, if a girl doesn't look like she has a daddy long legs on her eye, I know she isn't gonna be successful.
All he had to say is it helps attract fish and those that are less skilled may find fishing more enjoyable with this product attracting more fish to the area.
Actually, he should just have added that it is situated near the hook - the place you need to attract fish to - I think it is a bit of a gimmick but can work? I am not sure if it is worth millions and can be easily copied. Hopefully we are just seeing the sharks being sanctimonious prats for television ratings and they are not just crushing ideas without providing some useful guidance to these product designers, product designers are not always the best marketeers for there own products or necessary have good business acumen, that's what the sharks should be for ? - real crappy television show.
The interesting part about this video is how I look at some of the comments down here and think "That's really sexist" but as I watched the vid I got the context and I'm like... "I may have misjudged someone"
The guy has the same surname as me, he's an immigrant from South Africa. He probably moved when the racist Apartheid government went down. There are many South Africans like him who still have an outdated world view
I love that the Australian investors are concerned about the business employees take home pay as part of their consideration. American investors should do that as well.
Working in tech, I'd have to say I love working with Aussies or New Zealanders more than most other cultures. They're so chill, but always seem to care more about people rather than being cold business. I['ve legit had to tell them they have a massive issue on their hands and have gone to bat for stuff that they're just trying to be nonchalant about.
@@bvdnolimit2007 The thing is, I'm fairly sure that thing already exists. My mom has this hairdryer that is also like a comb which you can easily use to straighten your hair... And this is Brazil, tech takes a while to get here. (I could also be wrong, I know fuck all about hair stuff)
Women desperately need that edge to compensate for the handicap of having breasts, which scare the fish away u see, but with my product they can finally fish almost as well as men do. It helps build their confidence so they don’t struggle so much and embarrass their husbands while they are doing real fishing.
I love how Glen is the richest shark on this show by a long shot, yet he's normally the most polite and the most willing to try and see the silver lining in someone's business.
I love how immediately when asked to clarify he just insults the women by saying men know everything about fishing. Insulting half of your potential investors because of their gender is a bold ass move.
but what if you could.. Just use your IMAGINATION ! What it you enter Tour de France with the bike, what if it wins, what if you start selling millions of them worldwide, what if you make billions !!??
When the hairdryer guy tried redirecting the conversation from not knowing numbers to talking about the blow dryer can be used by itself lmao the immediate awkward silence was hilarious!!
I will forever remember, when the days get tough, “there are 12% of women fisherman who want the edge” what the hell is that supposed to mean and what does it have to do with anything about your presentation?
@@lmfaoisawesome616 no its a terrible idea, i can make that same basic thing at home for 3 dollars and 15 minutes, not that i would ever chum because I actually have skill as a fisherman. Plus the guy was an absolute moron trying to play on women to buy a terribly made product? "9-12% of fisherwomen want the edge!" ?????? wat
Pvc pipe with caps and a hook screw, drill holes, and you have a more durable and customizable poduct then the chum salesman. The most efficient way to get fish, is either using a simple hand grenade, or rob a fishery.
@@MW2bklyn you can make your own lead sinkers at home. You can make your own ROD at home. You can make almost everything you need to catch a fish at home. But im sure you just buy those at the store like everyone else. Just because you can make it at home doesnt mean it would be a bad idea to make a product out it.
@@lmfaoisawesome616 I mean i tie my own flies, I cure my own eggs, I use floating foam flies instead of indicators, i make my own leaders.... My point was the product is already basically in existence and is actually pretty moronic
here to update: ive looked into him, he is still paying for the patent. He got it in 2005 and renewed it in 2015, he just had the expiration date adjusted to 2028. Not to mention, the thing isnt even for sale. You have to preorder it, and the website has been up for 3 years.
The bicycle one sounded interesting. Until he mentioned the price of the cycle itself. As a consumer I can say that he is insane for thinking anyone would spend that much on a bike that you still have to pedal. I'd pay that much for an electric bike MAYBE. If the battery life was long and took you far enough on a charge and such. But wow.. insane.
I thought his idea was ridiculous but high quality bikes are very expensive, spending $10k+ is pretty normal. I just spent $6,000 on an ok mountain bike and am not even that good.
What he's done there is mechanically sound. He's basically extended the pedals to use leverage and some gearing to multiply the rider's effort. Fine. But his financial claims are outlandish in the extreme.
The fish lure was an interesting product, but the guy behind it really messed his pitch up… I’m a woman who enjoys fishing, and I’ve never heard about any of what that guy said regarding “fishing social norms”. 😓 Fishing in general is a solo/two-person thing, so I know most people (usually guys but women too) who like it aren’t the best with people.
I love how, after offering 20% in the Australian market for 1mill, he thinks that the deal breaker is: "BUT would you like to see it work on wet hair???"
I feel the lash tech guy would do great in America cause Rn it’s the most common thing to get you lashes done every two weeks he just needed to get more organized with his numbers
I agree lashes are big, & ppl get them done/maintained regularly, but do we really need an app to have a lash tech come to our homes? Most ppl I know get their lashes, nails & pedicures done at the same time. Plus only a 25,000/yr profit for the entire franchise. My son just finished high-school & makes more than that.
Yeah, those numbers are awful. The business itself isn't an awful concept, but his numbers are... bad. 24k take home in LA is monstrously below poverty.
That guy seemed so delusional that I’m a bit surprised he didn’t try to claim that equals a 100% profit margin. On the grounds that 2700 dollars is 100% of 2700 dollars.
I like how he attempts to distract them from all the awful problems with his pitch and business "But look.. a hair dryer vroooom... how fun is it when you use it like this!" It's like a kids toy commercial.
I felt bad for the generator guy. He was simply intimidated - he's probably the life of the party normally and a great salesman in the shop. He was just SO nervous because of who he was standing in front of. He seemed like a salt of the Earth guy to me, genuine, and I hope he really continues to grow and do well. Good product too.
As a French, I was like: Dude, why so offendeded? They have to take PED to achieve good scores in le tour de France, do you think a bike even harder to ride will do it for them ? XD
@Fact Speech Is Not Hate Speech some of us do. Im an Indigenous American so I kinda have to appreciate this place by default though, so Im probably the exception to the rule🤣🤣 As an American who lives in a capitalist society, that guy is forgetting about competition...TONS of competition. I know lash specialists that make $60 to $80k a year, so he would never in a million years sell those numbers to someone here looking to get into the trade. They would never work for him for $25k a year (which is pretty much considered to be poverty level for anyone with a child here) knowing they could make 3 times the income doing the same job without a middle man. This is a service economy. In this environment, knowing people and who you’re marketing too is important. A personal touch is important to surviving in this service based economy where everyone knows everyone. This guy is an outsider trying to break in. He would HAVE to hang his hat his relationship with the celebrities. BTW, you have the absolute best username in recent memory!!!
The eye lash guy didn’t do any research, if they’re take home is 25k per year in LA they won’t even be able to pay rent..... average apartment in LA IS 2600-4000 per month haha
As an avid fisherman #2's product is really not that bad, it looks like you can rig it to a pole with a float and sinker and cast or troll it away from the boat putting it exactly where you want it depth and distance wise. I would definitely give it it try if I saw it for 5 bucks in a bait shop.
“I am disturbed that it has taken you 9 years and 80000 dollars to get to this so I’m out” “I’d like to address something first” “Go ahead” “... this is how you use it as a hair dryer!” LOOOOOL
THAT PART MADE ME LAUGH SO HARD like I rly thought he was gonna have a rebuttal and instead he just said that as if his last two brain cells had left 😩😂
I once woke up after a bender to my cheap dates eyelash stuck to my face,America is big business for fake thing, here is a short list of popular fake things in the states, tits, eyelashes,women/men and politicians.
- “How much do you sell them for?” - “$2,600.” - “How much does it cost to make them?” - “About the same.” How was the business ever going to have any revenue at all
@@samueldownie2187 you're misusing terms , the revenue is 2,600 usd. No profit though . This business is still good because in order to manufacture the products or materials they need to employee a series of people operating on a market of scale which in turn contributes to economic flow of goods and services.
The first clip with hair straightener/blower combo. Something tells me his wife is gonna leave him for wasting 800k and not recouping it. And that's even if that was his actual wife and not some high priced escort he hired and claimed was his wife
Look up his business troppo bicycle. He's a billionaire now. The sharks aren't the best businesspeople, they are human and everyone makes mistakes. Not investing in this bike invention was a huge mistake.
amp.usatoday.com/amp/27325423 www.villycustom.com/ looks like hes doong pretty good... npt exactly sure what hes selling but turns out it wasn't the pedals but 'fashonable' bikes for hipsters and millenials ans looks like they are doing pretty good so far.
I’ve never seen the Aussie version of Shark Tank before. I really like the blond lady in the red dress. She’s very honest while remaining respectful. She’s extremely diplomatic, and doesn’t seem to come across condescending at all. She’d make a good hostage negotiator.
@ravenclawtom... Was gonna say the same thing lmao. How did they make that product if he owned all the patents?? Maybe he only had patents for Australia or some shit, so thats why he wasnt trying to go global with it. But either way, still doesnt make sense
The lash one was all around bad. And women need to stop altering themselves so much. I assure you men don't care if a woman has long lashes or regular lashes. We're not even looking at your lashes.
@@michaels.330 I assure you, your ego needs a massive check and you really need to get over yourself. Women actually do things for themselves and not for men.
Why are the dudes so clueless about how women think. Lmao the one dude is straight up like "we want women to make more so they have things to do besides entertaining their husband " lol
This is a perfect example of why you always need to be prepared for stuff. Just because your idea is great and has potential, doesn’t mean people will invest in it when your pitch is bad.
Bike guy was so confident it the bike would be winning races even though it seems totally obvious that you cant just show up to a race with any wacky bike design you want? If the equipment wasnt standardized then it really wouldnt be a fair competition.
This man got on television and straight said "Men know everything about fishing" I'm dead xD Edit: This is by far the most liked comment I've ever made on youtube, thank y'all for making me feel micro-fame, now fuck off and like it more!
The bike guy is an engineer who doesnt understand how numbers actually translate into the real world. If he had gone in there with a level headed pitch and conservative valuation he may have been able to make a deal.
It was a scam. He was most likely going to pocket the investment and get a grant from the government to pay the investors back. In the end he gets 5mil without doing anything or selling anything.
The linear pedal motion is honestly not a bad concept, but I see all of those extra components, and I just think about mud and rain... That's without even getting to the insane valuation and promises of astronomical returns that scream "Ponzi scheme."
His plan was to take that 5 mil, put that in a bank and get a government loan for a 1:1 match, so then the investor gets their money back ... it's 100% a ponzi scheme.
They loved the idea. The game ender was that he wanted to run it in California and Australia and didn't know much about how to run franchises. The numbers didn't add up either
Yes salon, that takes in more revenues and services. They wanted to off this as a sole service business with net pay of $25k With illegal immigrants working. So again. What’s your point ?
The generator guy is right about the demand in the US. Stores cannot keep them in stock in Houston. These people who have inventions/products are not particularly sharp business people, not everyone has business acronym like The Sharks. I think most of the Sharks were kind to these people regardless. I think they would of been much shrewder on the American version.

Lash U Lashes is doing great!! He's got 2 stores in the USA, constant constant training in Australia & multiple well reviewed products sold across the board. The sharks telling him he's the problem & his business model sucks was waaay off. Good on him!
People who don’t fish often may not know this, but the fact is that fisherwomen are, unfortunately, at a major disadvantage to fishermen, due to their natural lack of fishing knowledge, obviously, but also their lack of skill. Because of this huge, unfair disadvantage, female fisherpeople have always dreamed of finding themselves an edge, in hopes that someday the playing field may be leveled, once and for all, and, finally, they may have the ability to compete with the men, who are superior to them in talent and intelligence. I don’t know if this is the right product to give them that edge or not, but I truly hope that they will soon find whatever it is that they need, because women deserve a fair opportunity, and equality and stuff.

Actually, he should just have added that it is situated near the hook - the place you need to attract fish to - I think it is a bit of a gimmick but can work? I am not sure if it is worth millions and can be easily copied. Hopefully we are just seeing the sharks being sanctimonious prats for television ratings and they are not just crushing ideas without providing some useful guidance to these product designers, product designers are not always the best marketeers for there own products or necessary have good business acumen, that's what the sharks should be for ? - real crappy television show.

The bicycle one sounded interesting. Until he mentioned the price of the cycle itself. As a consumer I can say that he is insane for thinking anyone would spend that much on a bike that you still have to pedal. I'd pay that much for an electric bike MAYBE. If the battery life was long and took you far enough on a charge and such. But wow.. insane.

I think most of the Sharks were kind to these people regardless. I think they would of been much shrewder on the American version.
- acronym (n): a word formed from the initial letters or groups of letters of words in a set phrase or series of words and pronounced as a separate word
- acumen (n): keen insight; shrewdness
@@Quagthistle We know she mean Acumen, it's a rather simple slip that doesn't alter things to the point of being misunderstood.
@@tessajalloh3914 while I recognized what Candy was intending to say, I don't think @Quagthistle was wrong for responding as they did. No rude comments were given, some people may not have made that connection, and on the off chance that Candy didn't know the difference, she might have learned.
@@tessajalloh3914 I'm very pro- linguistic nonjudgmentalism, so generally I'm opposed to corrective comments since language norms are mostly just classism-as-syntax-rules ... So usually I'd be with you on this one, and you definitely made your criticism more politely than I've ever done anything in my life lol. But I think, in this instance, it was a constructive choice (for the other commenter to offer a correction on OP's-word-choice-or-their-autocorrect's-word-choice,-whichever-it-was) because the words are quite significantly dissimilar and one of them is fairly obscure. It seems IMO like a good addition to the thread to help clarify it for any people reading who are learning English or otherwise don't know the term "acumen"/at least haven't seen it written.
@@ItsAsparageese That's quite fair and well thought out. I hadn't really considered the non english speaking audience, and i should have. I retract my opposition, but i'll leave it there to preserve the thread.
For saying something is 100% efficient I'd get thrown out of my masters program in the field of mechanical engineering :D
how about the guy saying that the fish swimming compresses the water? XD
@@waynedas873 there was an ancient conundrum about how can fish swim through water if it's incompressable. Solved ages ago when we grasped the concept of the dynamics of fluids. The displacement is simultaneous (like multiple ball bearings).
No idea what he meant though... I honestly am at a loss for words
Yeah haha when he said that I was just like “uhm I’m pretty sure that’s not possible bud..”
@chris brady do I smell some jealousy? 👃
Somewhere in the fine print he calls it a bike/heater to get his efficiency🤣
He does know that there are TONS of hair dryer/straighteners/ brushes out there on the market from cheap to very expensive. He doesn’t know what he’s doing lol
well he claims to be a celebrity hairstyler and that would sell it
Also him saying he spent that much on patents, something was majorly off.
I literally got an ad on this video for a practically identical product
300$ for something similar, already existing at a FRACTION of the price lmao
They have been around since the early 2000s
The Mickeyblu guy was honestly cool. Seems to know what he’s doing, has a functioning + useful product. I’m happy he’s doing well for himself (according to the numbers he shared).
I hope he did get those contacts too. Even a few of them from the shark in the blue suit.

“let us lash you” 😀
Steve : 👁👄👁
Dude is so confident in his hair straightener with a fan that he spent almost a million dollars 🤣
never came out either.
@@thekornreeper there are a dozen like product of it online for sale, amazon has then for like 40 bucks..
I learned something from that "russian accent" guy: You produce something, then sell it for the amount it costs you, ... and in a year you have 5 billion US Dollars. WOW
It works when you buy some of your product from money that you got somewhere and the supply remains natural
Look up his business troppo bicycle. He's a billionaire now. The sharks aren't the best businesspeople, they are human and everyone makes mistakes. Not investing in this bike invention was a huge mistake.
@@Dylan-ge6dn I can't tell if you're being serious or not, but if you are, I believe you're referring to Mike Sinyard who founded specialized bikes. An article about him is one of the first results when you search for Troppo bike. Richard Ploszaj is the "inventor" of the pump action Troppo bike, which as far as I can tell hasn't done anything beyond appearing on shark tank. His website for the bike isn't even live anymore.
"Risk free" means that there's no risk because you know 100% you're gonna get screwed over
@@Dylan-ge6dn I’m not so sure - a quick google search shows the troppo pump action bike has not sold nearly enough units for it to be a mistake for the sharks.
They’re not even selling it on the Specialized website’s store anymore.
Any idea where I can get the info on how many units have sold worldwide?
Lash U Lashes is doing great!!
He's got 2 stores in the USA, constant constant training in Australia & multiple well reviewed products sold across the board.
The sharks telling him he's the problem & his business model sucks was waaay off.
Good on him!
Did you know theres 12% of woman fisherman looking for the edge?
He said 6% right before that lmao
People who don’t fish often may not know this, but the fact is that fisherwomen are, unfortunately, at a major disadvantage to fishermen, due to their natural lack of fishing knowledge, obviously, but also their lack of skill.
Because of this huge, unfair disadvantage, female fisherpeople have always dreamed of finding themselves an edge, in hopes that someday the playing field may be leveled, once and for all, and, finally, they may have the ability to compete with the men, who are superior to them in talent and intelligence.
I don’t know if this is the right product to give them that edge or not, but I truly hope that they will soon find whatever it is that they need, because women deserve a fair opportunity, and equality and stuff.
@@chriswebster24 lol great comment
Thats a great question
The more you know ✨✨
Sharks: "Im Out"
Brent: "Thats a Great decision"
I can’t believe how many guys talk down to these powerful women. I love how the women respond too! They smile, show how much smarter they are and keep it moving ;)
They won’t swing over it though
When were these so called "powerful women" talked down to, Mr. White Knight?
@@AgentK83 im still trying to understand what you could be trying to say here
@@creepypastacraft
They will act offended and talk and bitch but won’t try to fight him over it because they know they’ll lose
The only reason they talk that way is because they can’t get hit, otherwise they’d have their skull sinuses collapsed
@@AgentK83 what the fuck is wrong with you? Why do they have to beat the shit out of someone? This is real jon koppenhaver shit(look him up) like okay they dont have physical power but they could probably ruin his life with their monetary power and connections, but thats even assuming they would care to think to do something like that, which they probably wouldnt, theyd probably just brush it off like a normal person.
Sharks ask a specific question to Brent, Brents answer "that's a great question" totally avoids the questions every time
Was waiting for one to say “Mel B is a friend of mine, let me give her a ring” and watch it all fall apart 😂
