| Final Deal | Deal was made on the show with sharks Daymond John for $90k for 51% of Company contingent on deal with big players. |
Mark Burginger played with construction toys as a kid, which influenced him to become an architect. After being unable to find an architecture job during the bad economy, Mark returned to his early passion and created his construction toy, Qubits.
After being in business a few years since late 2007, Mark has sold $8k of product. He's put $60k of mostly borrowed money into this.
One of the greatest things you'll learn about sales is you gotta learn where not to waste your time.
Mark is going up against huge brands like Lego and has not called any to try and work with. Daymond agrees to Mark's offer contingent on striking a deal with one of the big players.

Qubits had no success with the big players; therefore, Daymond's deal did not persist. Daymond, however, remained helpful to Mark and Mark struck an arrangement with a smaller toy company, Discovery Toys.
