Faith Chipman, a dog groomer from Powell River, BC, sought $37,500 for 25% of MarshMello, a line of plant-based, silicone-free dog grooming products including a detangling spray and shampoo. The detangling spray costs $3.50 to produce and retails for $21.95. The company has done $450,000 in all-time sales since 2012, with just under $99,000 in gross sales in the last 12 months, of which she took home $23,212 before paying herself; products are sold through her own e-commerce site, Amazon, and distributors in the US, Canada, and UK, with a deal pending with Chewy.com.
All five Dragons went out. Michele Romanow and Arlene Dickinson both said Faith Chipman needed a co-founder rather than an investor, Vincenzo Guzzo agreed with that assessment, Wes Hall said she was good at generating ideas but not at scaling, and Manjit Minhas said she lacked focus given her many products. No deal was made.
