Gary and Garrett, entrepreneurs from Surrey, BC, sought $100,000 for 20% of Good Organics, a company selling toothpaste tablets in refillable glass containers with compostable refill packages, positioned as an alternative to plastic toothpaste tubes. The tablets retail for $19.95 with a cost of $5.23 to make, are manufactured overseas, and the founders claimed 70% of the Canadian Amazon toothpaste tablet market despite sales to date of only about $60,000. They described plans to expand the Good Organics brand into other cosmetics such as soaps and shampoos, but were vague about their business backgrounds and where the product is manufactured.
All five Dragons declined. Arlene Dickinson, Robert Herjavec, Manjit Minhas, Vincenzo Guzzo, and Michele Romanow all cited the founders' evasive and inconsistent answers, particularly around manufacturing location and their claimed market share, which eroded trust and led to no offers being made.
