Simon Fallows and Jeff MacIntyre, of Waterloo, Ontario, pitched Green-Strike Mosquito Preventer, asking for $400,000 for 20% of Maxtech Mosquito Products. The device is a mosquito control canister using a pheromone lure developed with a Laurentian University researcher to attract female mosquitoes into a pond-like reservoir where eggs are trapped in a replaceable filter, destroying up to 30,000 mosquitoes over a half-acre area without chemicals; the unit retails for $279 at Canadian Tire with a $24 replacement lure, and is also sold at Home Hardware and on Amazon. Revenue last year was $650,000, with projected revenue of $2 million this year, though the founders do not hold majority equity in the company, which is controlled by inventor and CEO Casey Vazadela, who did not appear on the show.
Michele Romanow went out, saying she needed to meet the majority equity holder before investing. Manjit Minhas offered $400,000 for 30% equity, Joe Mimran offered $400,000 for 25% equity, and Michael Wekerle offered to join a three-way partnership. The founders accepted a joint offer from Manjit Minhas, Joe Mimran and Michael Wekerle of $400,000 for 30% equity.
