Nathan Morris of Vancouver, British Columbia, known as Coach Nate, pitched Club Row, asking for $200,000 for 10% of the business. Club Row is a fitness studio combining spin and rowing, which Nathan Morris calls rhythm rowing, and had been selling out classes at its Vancouver studio for five months, generating $155,000 in revenue with $80,000 in profit including all capital costs. Nathan Morris described plans to expand to Toronto, New York, and Los Angeles and to develop an app allowing remote participation, budgeted at $300,000, and stated the company had sold $175,000 to a private equity firm at a $2 million valuation, though he could not name the firm.
Manjit Minhas, Lane Merrifield, Michele Romanow, Vincenzo Guzzo, and Jim Treliving all went out, citing concerns about Nathan Morris's evasive and inconsistent answers, an inflated valuation, and a lack of clarity about the claimed private equity investment. No deal was made.
