Mike Scheuerman, Cindy Scheuerman, and Brittnee Blair of Calgary, Alberta pitched CLOG BOSS, asking for $200,000 for 20% of their business. CLOG BOSS is a plunger designed to work without splashing, reducing contact with airborne and waterborne pathogens; it had been sold to professional plumbers for $100 each, with about 250 units sold, and the founders planned a retail price below $50. Mike Scheuerman, a master plumber of 25 years, said he had invested $60,000 into developing the product, which was still hand-made, and the founders valued the company at $1 million.
All five Dragons went out. Jim Treliving and Michael Wekerle both cited the valuation as too high given the lack of retail sales at the target price point. Manjit Minhas said the founders had too much work ahead in manufacturing, distribution, sales, and marketing. Joe Mimran said the price point needed to be fixed quickly, and Michele Romanow suggested building sales through a Kickstarter campaign first. No deal was made.
