Tabby Shark Tank Pitch

sterling davis, leigh d’angelo, and nathan kehn appeared on Shark Tank Season 13, Episode 4, which aired on October 29, 2021, with dating app for people who love cats.

Tabby is listed in the PetProducts category. In plain terms, the business is described as dating app for people who love cats.

Tabby asked the Sharks for $300,000 for 20%, implying a valuation of about $1.5 million.

On the show, Tabby made a listed deal with Kevin O'Leary for $300,000 for 30%.

If treated as straight equity, the listed deal works out to about $1 million implied valuation, down from the original $1.5 million implied valuation.

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

Tabby's post-show path is best summarized as short-term app attention followed by shutdown, rather than a continuing dating platform. (Tabby Shark Tank Update
