Asked $300,000 for 7.5% · Deal $300,000 for 15% with Kevin O'Leary, Alexis Ohanian
Wayne Pfeffer, Clay Canning and RaShaun Brown of Houston pitched Screen Skinz, customizable, officially licensed tempered-glass screen protectors with a patented disappearing design: artwork shows when the phone is off and vanishes when the screen lights up, with licenses from the NFL, MLB, NHL, NBA and college programs. Clay started selling screen protectors on Amazon in college and launched the company in 2018. Sales were $850,000 since 2022 with heavy losses, including $484,000 in 2023, but the founders projected $1 million and break-even in 2025 on a $3 landed cost. Lori Greiner and Daymond John said it was too early, and Kendra Scott told them they didn't need a shark yet. Kevin O'Leary called it a crapshoot and offered $300,000 for 20%; Alexis Ohanian matched exactly. The founders asked the two to team up, and the deal closed at $300,000 for 15% plus a $1-per-unit royalty until $900,000 is recouped.
“Kevin called the company a crapshoot and offered $300,000 anyway, Alexis matched him to the dollar, and the founders refused to pick between them.”
