The Spikeball Shark Tank Pitch
Chris Ruder of Chicago, IL pitched Spikeball on Shark Tank Season 6, Episode 29, which aired Friday, May 15, 2015, asking for $500,000 for 10% of the company — a $5M valuation.
Daymond John agreed to invest $500,000 for 20% equity, valuing the company at $2.5M. The deal fell through after the show. Daymond John wanted to make Spider-Man branded Spikeball with Marvel; founder refused as it would position product as toy instead of sport; deal was dead before the show aired.
