Mush Shark Tank Update

Mush Shark Tank Pitch

Ashley Thompson and Kat Thomas appeared on Shark Tank Season 9, Episode 12, which aired on November 25, 2017, with ready to eat, healthy oatmeal snack.

Mush is listed in the Food Beverage category. In plain terms, the business is described as ready to eat, healthy oatmeal snack.

Mush asked the Sharks for $300,000 for 10%, implying a valuation of about $3 million.

On the show, Mush made a listed deal with Mark Cuban for $300,000 for 10%.

If treated as straight equity, the listed deal works out to about $3 million 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.

Mush After Shark Tank

MUSH accepted Mark Cuban's deal and used the relationship during a real operations crunch: Mark helped the founders find new packaging and set up a new production line in 48 hours. (Mush Shark Tank Update

The company later raised a $5 million venture investment in June 2021, bringing total venture funding to about $23 million including Mark's money. (Mush Shark Tank Update

MUSH expanded into Whole Foods plus select CVS and 7-Eleven stores, turning the refrigerated overnight-oats pitch into a national better-for-you breakfast brand. (Mush Shark Tank Update
