Nishal Kumar, from Vancouver, British Columbia, asked for $500,000 for 10% of No Days Wasted, a wellness brand whose hero product, DHM Detox, is a capsule blend of herbal ingredients, vitamins, and antioxidants meant to boost the body's reaction to alcohol, along with a new rehydration formula. The company launched via an Indiegogo campaign in summer 2018, raising $32,000 against a $20,000 goal, and has since built tens of thousands of customers with a 30% return customer rate; it did $200,000 in sales in a recent 30-day period and $1.4 million over the last 12 months, including a three-month COVID downturn, relying largely on influencer marketing.
Lane Merrifield, Arlene Dickinson, Manjit Minhas, and Jim Treliving went out over concerns about the health-and-wellness framing, community strategy, commodity nature of supplements, and valuation. Vincenzo Guzzo offered $500,000 for 25%, and Michele Romanow countered at $500,000 for 22.5%, which Nishal Kumar accepted.
