ENTREPRENEUR: Tania Patruno & Brandon Jacobs

PITCH: PRO-NRG

ASKING FOR: $250k for a 15% stake

BEST PART OF THE PITCH: Tania and two-time Super Bowl champ Brandon Jacobs pitch their unique, protein-infused flavored water. It's all-natural and great-tasting. Tania has already got the drink into over 3,000 stores in the New York area. She needs an investment to fulfill her purchase orders and propel the product into the national market. Brandon isn't an investor, but he says his teammates loved the drink during their Super Bowl run. Tania has done $126,000 in sales in three months.

DO THE SHARKS BITE? Robert thinks the drink tastes bad, but that's because he usually doesn't take protein drinks. Kevin says Tania's distributors are taking in more money than she is. She's not worth the evaluation of the company, so he's out. Mark believes that everyone will be trying to knock her off, so he's out. Barbara thinks Tania should utilize Brandon more. The confusion of her message has her bailing on a deal. Robert doesn't understand the space the product is in. He's out. That leaves Daymond, who offers $250k for a 30% stake contingent on a deal with a supplement company called Bad Ass.

THE RESULT Even though Tania knows that Daymond has cut the value of her company in half, she also knows he can navigate through important meetings to get the best deal. She accepts his offer. Perhaps they'll work out the details over protein drinks.
