Vahid and Ryan Sahiholnasab of Vancouver (Richmond, BC) asked for $250,000 for 10% of Medical Wearable Solutions, the makers of EyeForcer, a wearable posture-correction device with an app that warns children when they slouch and shuts off their program if the poor posture continues, using an anti-cheating sensor to detect if the device is removed. The product works only on Android, retails at $179, and the founders had invested $300,000 so far, seeking a valuation of $2.5 million with no sales yet.
Michael Wekerle went out first, saying the valuation was not justified. Michele Romanow was concerned about the Android-only focus and felt the underlying problem was being addressed by device makers themselves. Joe Mimran said it was not a killer product, Manjit Minhas felt there was too much work left before seeking investment, and Jim Treliving worried about the effort required for only a 10% stake. All five Dragons declined and there was no deal.
