Naturally Perfect Dolls Shark Tank Update

Naturally Perfect Dolls Shark Tank Pitch

Angelica Sweeting and Jason Sweeting appeared on Shark Tank Season 8, Episode 12, which aired on January 5, 2017, with A Line Of Dolls Encouraging Self-Acceptance And Diversity.

Naturally Perfect Dolls is listed in the Children category. In plain terms, the business is described as A Line Of Dolls Encouraging Self-Acceptance And Diversity.

Naturally Perfect Dolls asked the Sharks for $200,000 for 20%, implying a valuation of about $1 million.

On the show, Naturally Perfect Dolls made a listed deal with Daymond John for $200,000 for 30%.

If treated as straight equity, the listed deal works out to about $666,666.667 implied valuation, down from the original $1 million implied valuation.

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