EveryTable
Last into the tank are Sam Polk and David Foster of EveryTable, seeking $1 million for five percent equity.
EveryTable puts a healthy twist on fast food. According to their website, the company’s “mission is to make nutritious, fresh food affordable and accessible to all” by selling fresh and healthy food for the same price as a fast-food meal. The food is available in both affluent areas and food deserts, where access to affordable, healthy food is limited. They currently have several locations in California.
Guest shark Rohan Oza likes the philosophy of the business and thinks the food tastes “fantastic.” He’s worried, however, about the valuation. Last year, they did $2.6 million in sales across their five locations.
Barbara Corcoran likes their presentation and mission but doesn’t view the duo as entrepreneurs. She goes out, followed by Robert Herjavec. Lori Greiner says she loves the mission but fails to see their creativity, drive and fire. She goes out, as does Mark Cuban. Despite his concerns over the valuation, Oza decides to offer $1 million for 13.3 percent, which they counter at 5.5 percent equity.
Ultimately, the duo counters at $1 million for 6.7 percent, which Oza again counteroffers at $1 million for 10 percent. They accept.
