Lucia Tam and Megan Berger, originally from Markham, Ontario but currently operating in Hong Kong, asked for $175,000 for 17.5% of their rebounding fitness studio, Bounce Limit. The studio uses 27 rebounders set on an elevated platform for safety, with classes costing $50 each and choreographed to music. The business has generated $600,000 in sales in Hong Kong, is rated a top ten boutique studio there, is roughly breaking even after two and a half years, and the founders were seeking a partner to help franchise the concept in Canada, having received interest from Dubai, Kenya, Singapore, China, Japan, and Korea but no confirmed franchisees.
Arlene Dickinson, Jim Treliving, Joe Mimran, Michael Wekerle, and Michele Romanow all declined to invest, citing the lack of a proven franchise model, no demonstrated ability to monetize the concept, and the challenge of running a business based in Hong Kong without a Canadian presence. No deal was made.
