Guri, from Toronto, pitched extrAbility, a modular smart mini-store installed on the street that lets customers buy items instantly via a phone-based checkout, asking for $50,000 for 20% of the business. Vendors pay a flat fee starting at $50 per month plus 10% per transaction, and the founder pays about $300 per month in rent for the space. The first unit, installed on the street about two weeks before the pitch, generated $1,000 in sales, and the founder projected $500,000 in sales by year end across 50 locations.
Wes Hall went out due to a conflict of interest with his own venture, Aisle 24. Michele Romanow, Vincenzo Guzzo, Manjit Minhas and Robert Herjavec all went out over concerns about the unit economics, particularly the rent-to-revenue ratio and lack of a clear path to profitability. Arlene Dickinson also declined to invest for now, though she encouraged the founder to keep refining the concept. No deal was made.
