      I mean, it's soup. Doesn't have to be perfect. The sharks don't want to invest in a business that sells a 3 day supply of soup for $100 and costs them $50 to make.
      It's an extremely niche product and that's perfectly fine but their growth is stunted unless they lowers costs to produce and cost to consumers. Their valuation was way too high

      Ye i thought the same but when you think about even if they gain 100k new customers from the hype they will only make 5% off them,its not enough,if they were clever after the show they should have made each soup $1-$2 more(for new customers) to profit off the increase in hype and get the cash injection they need,people will pay more for something thats trending.

The moment I heard the name on this episode and heard they were from DC, I was like "Nah it can't be those guys from that tiny little Takoma store!" But it definitely was! Hope they're doing great.

      Whether they make $500 million or $1 million, 5% profit implies their fixed costs and QA will consistently be a burden to their profitability. You need to be able to give up quality if you want to profit from nationalizing like they want, otherwise stay local.

      I always find it interesting when businesses say “we made 1 million dollars in Total revenue.” My first thought afterwards is always “how much profit did you bring in?” Doesn’t matter how much money you make if you can’t keep it for the business.

      @@Pickledfeet165 Don't know if that's true for this product, but it often is the case that mass production is required in order to get the manufacturing costs down to where you can have both a good margin and an attractive retail price. That's the "scaling" often mentioned.
      Kind of the point of going to venture capitalists. To get the financial backing to do just that.
      The sharks misjudged the market badly. Obviously, Amazon didn't, and somebody would have jumped on it if they didn't.
      My pet peeves about the show is kind of the opposite of yours. When the sharks get so pleased about an outrageous markup, I always think so what? Literally anyone can try to sell something for $25 that only cost them $1.75. Won't do any good if few people want to buy it at that price.

    At the Whole Foods I work at we sell the SouperGirl bottles. They aren't that popular from what I can tell. They did a big PR piece when I was there. Sadly I didn't get to hear their speech

    You can make your own soup at home and save a ton. It’s healthy, nutritious, and contains no processed ingredients. What they are selling is not unique.

      You’re right but not everyone will have the time and patience to do that. It’s more of like do you wanna spend a little extra money on something that’s healthier than fast food?

    The sad thing about entrepreneurs is that they’re not willing to do what they need to do in order to make a huge profit. I understand she wants HER type of quality but if people are going to but not even realizing the difference in quality, why not go that way? You have to do what it takes and putting your feelings with money is not a good way to continue your business.

      And that's just it. She's willing to forego profit over perfection. If that's your model, then good luck getting an investor.
