      Sure. Though I kind of see her parents behind her, making the calculations, telling her how much to counter offer (she was clearly trying to remember what was decided beforehand).
      I'm not criticizing her, she's very self confident for a girl her age, but to me it feels like her parents pushed her forward because they were sure to succeed that way 🤷‍♀️

      Usually kids I see who are entrepreneurial usually have parents that sucked with money or were so poor they got used to being creative and money conscious.
      Not all just most of the ones I’ve spoken to. Especially the really young ones in my area have been raised by abusive drug addicts that have had their needs neglected and isolated from their peers so they’re forced to be observant like a marketer. Unfortunately lots of them end up in gangs cause they know how to sell and they are used for selling drugs.

I was practically yelling at my phone for her to go for 25% instead and I'm so glad that's the number she picked.

      There has been an evolving style of presentation over the years. Sophie is new at this so she didn't really tailor her pitch but it was always going to be Daymond for socks. In the early days people would make a generic demo just hoping any shark would bite. In recent years, though, entrepreneurs are much more likely to already have a specific shark in mind even before they go into the tank. Fashion - Daymond. Electronics or tech - Mark or Robert. Small household items - Laurie. Restaurants or anything that will require negotiating some sort of lease - Barbara. Licensing deals or residuals - Kevin. Each shark really does have a specialized expertise and more entrepreneurs are aware of that now.

      Her counter offer was 35k for 25% so that is 35k/25= 1.4k
      So the final deal is of course lower than what she initially asked but it's ALOT higher than what the sharks offered. And getting such a large raise out of the sharks, who are seasoned business people, is really impressive.
      Allso how her counter offer aknowledged that she sharks wanted a bigger stake in the company than 15% (because it gives them more influence) but upping the price because of that was a great move.
      She read what the sharks wanted, didn't give them entirely what they wanted and made them pay up for what they did get. That's an impressive feat.
