Conclusion -  RigStrips

The founders of RigStrips presented a wonderful pitch and explained their business to Sharks on Shark Tank USA, Season 16 Episode 02. Shark Cuban and Kevin opted out due to personal preferences and valuation concerns. However, Shark Todd showed interest in the startup and offered $300,000 for a 20% stake. Shark Lori also passed the deal as she wasn't keen on the equity offered by the founders. After some negotiation, the founders countered with a 10% stake and Todd revised his offer to $300,000 for 15%. They successfully struck a deal and moved forward with Todd as their investor.
