Critter Pricker Shark Tank Pitch

Joe Balistreri appeared on Shark Tank Season 11, Episode 17, which aired on March 27, 2020, with humane raccoon deterring spikes.

Critter Pricker is listed in the Other category. In plain terms, the business is described as humane raccoon deterring spikes.

Critter Pricker asked the Sharks for $115,000 for 15%, implying a valuation of about $766,666.667.

On the show, Critter Pricker made a listed deal with Kevin O'Leary for $115,000 for 15% + $2.50 per unit royalty in perpetuity.

If treated as straight equity, the listed deal works out to about $766,666.667 implied valuation, roughly the same implied valuation as the ask.

This pitch is included as context for the more important question: what happened after Shark Tank.
