Twitter Facebook LinkedIn Flipboard 7 Delighted by Hummus First into the tank is Makenzie Marzluff of Delighted by Hummus, seeking $600,000 for 12 percent equity. Delighted by Hummus offers delicious, chickpea-based dessert spreads. According to their website, the usual garlic and lemon of hummus are replaced with cinnamon and vanilla beans. Their mission “is to inspire people to spread their glitter” and “be the light they are out in the world.” Flavors include vanilla bean, snickerdoodle, choc-o-mint and brownie batter, which are all vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and all natural. The hummus is not currently available to purchase online, however, the dessert spreads are available in stores nationwide. The sharks all agree that it’s delicious but Mark Cuban thinks it’s challenging that it doesn’t exactly compete with hummus. In the 13 months since they hit store shelves, they have done $1 million in gross sales. Guest shark Alex Rodriguez finds the valuation too high and goes out. She hopes to use an investment from the sharks to build a team to create operational support. Marzluff has had only one intern to help her and given the challenge of delegation, Barbara Corcoran goes out. Lori Greiner likes the hummus, but thinks it requires too much money. She goes out. Despite the challenges, Kevin O’Leary offers $600,000 as a loan at 11 percent interest with six percent equity. Cuban thinks it would be smart to sell in retail stores and jumps in with an offer of $600,000 for 25 percent. Ultimately, she accepts Cuban’s offer.
