Shark Tank: Guzzle Buddy Accepts $400,000 Offer from Daymond John

Last into the tank are Jennifer Sullivan and Randy Rothfus of Guzzle Buddy, seeking $400,000 for 10 percent equity.

Guzzle Buddy turns any wine bottle into a glass. The wine glass attachment, which quickly became a viral hit, was inspired by an episode of “Cougar Town” and has been featured on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” INSIDER and Delish. According to their website, the Guzzle Buddy is screwed into the top of a wine bottle, turning it into a glass. “Tilt the bottle and enjoy drinking straight from your new ‘bottle’ glass. No more looks of judgment!” The Guzzle Buddy, which is also available in a beer bottle glass, costs $24.99.

In less than a year, they did $1.4 million in sales. The sharks are shocked, however, they find their valuation too high. Robert Herjavec didn’t like the beer glass and Mark Cuban points out that most people would just be drinking out of the bottle itself. He goes out, followed by Daymond John. Lori Greiner thinks their sales are “staggering”, but worries about long-term sustainability. Herjavec and Kevin O’Leary go out over the valuation.

Greiner then challenges the duo to convince her on a deal. They propose a revised offer of $400,000 for 20 percent, which John says he will accept at 25 percent. Greiner counters with $400,000 as a loan at 20 percent. Ultimately, they accept John’s offer.
