Raising Wild Shark Tank Update

Raising Wild Shark Tank Pitch

Rachelle Hyde and Kara Haught appeared on Shark Tank Season 8, Episode 3, which aired on October 7, 2016, with swim and apparel collection for women and kids.

Raising Wild is listed in the Clothing Fashion category. In plain terms, the business is described as swim and apparel collection for women and kids.

Raising Wild asked the Sharks for $100,000 for 20%, implying a valuation of about $500,000.

On the show, Raising Wild made a listed deal with Barbara Corcoran for $100,000 for 50%.

If treated as straight equity, the listed deal works out to about $200,000 implied valuation, down from the original $500,000 implied valuation.

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