I participated a couple of times in some nearby “angel investor” groups a few years back …. was looking for new ideas/investments - it was quite simple for those pitching ideas… no strings attached and if someone liked your idea then you went aside in private and discussed more details. if not, then at least some of the folks had a chance to pitch ideas….

I can tell you now, after just getting the actual "deal" paperwork today (she filmed months ago), this is the absolute worst deal I have ever seen for a small business owner. Royalties, commissions, options to buy equity up to 3 years into the future, etc. :( Travis On 10/24/2016 2:02 PM, Lewis Bergman wrote: So it doesn't sound like she needs money since she has you.

When we first met her, she was building these flower bouquets in her apartment and selling them at farmer's markets. Now she has 60+ employees and she is in a 26,000sqft warehouse/office. Her passion and drive is sometimes overwhelming, but she makes things happen. :) http://sharktankblog.com/business/ecoflower/ Travis
