Sarah Selhi, Niall Traynor and Paolo Spiluttini of Toronto, ON asked the Dragons for $125,000 for 10% of SpaceiShare, an online marketplace that lets people rent out spare space in their homes, such as garages, driveways or spare rooms, to those needing storage, positioned as a cheaper and more convenient alternative to self-storage facilities. The platform takes an average 15% commission on listings, with an average transaction of about $125 per month, and had grown to 1,000 listings since launching the prior year. A payment processor issue took about six months to fix, causing the company to miss capturing roughly $22,000 in revenue, leaving to-date revenues at $4,000; the founders say they have since rebuilt the platform with a new CTO who previously worked with major Canadian banks and eBay.
Arlene Dickinson, Jim Treliving, Vincenzo Guzzo and Manjit Minhas all went out over concerns about safety, business model and personal discomfort with the concept. Lane Merrifield offered $125,000 for 20%, and Michele Romanow offered $125,000 for 15%; the founders chose Michele Romanow's offer.
