Shark Tank Make Offers for Recharj

Robert Herjavec, Mark Cuban and guest shark Rohan Oza put Recharj to the test in the mini studio and agree that it’s very relaxing.

Barbara Corcoran, however, immediately points out that she would be worried about sleeping in a spot where someone else already has. Turissini says they are washed regularly and sprayed between each use.

The company is expected to break even at the end of the year.

Turissini, however, is still working his full-time job.

His franchising vision also concerns Cuban. He doesn’t think everything adds up and goes out. Oza likes the philosophical side of the business, but doesn’t see it as investable.

He goes out, followed by Herjavec. Lori Greiner likes the mindfulness aspect but thinks he has too many ideas all at once.

She goes out. Corcoran worries about the business model and goes out.
