| Final Deal | All Sharks went Out |
Bryan Parks was living in China and was led to the idea of repurposing the billions of single-use chopsticks that get thrown out each year into something useful. He makes items such as necklaces, lamps, and fruit baskets.
The foldable fruit basket accounts for the lion's share of the sales. Bryan has had $500k in revenue, $45k of profit, and $100k of credit card debt in the five years the company has existed.
All the sharks like Bryan and the business, however, say that the company is too small for them to make money and go out. Bryan was bummed out.
This wasn't the happy ending Bryan wanted to report back to Shou-Goo and the boys.
