The Story
It’s been quite an interesting and complicated journey from the day when Plated founders, Nick Taranto and Josh Hix, appeared on Season Five of Shark Tank. Initially asking for a $500,000 investment in exchange for 4% of the company, they accepted an offer from Mark Cuban for the $500,000 for a 5.56% stake plus advisory shares.
The Pitch on Shark Tank
Plated Meal Kits appeared on Shark Tank (Season 5) in 2014. Nick Taranto pitched the product to the Sharks. $500K for 5.56% — Mark Cuban.
