Nicole Brajak, Michael Brajak and Kevin Pacheco, of Burlington, Ontario, pitched Team Tables, asking for $100,000 for 25% of their company. The business makes decorative sports-themed tables using real shoes, skates, and fabric, retailing at $399 for hockey-themed tables and $449 for golf-themed tables. The tables are handmade in the founders' home. In eight months of operation the company sold 270 units and generated over $90,000 in revenue, and is carried in 15 retailers including one Home Hardware location, Playdium, and various country clubs and golf courses.
Jim Treliving offered $100,000 for a 10% royalty, convertible to equity later, but the founders declined due to concerns about cash flow. Manjit Minhas and Michele Romanow both went out, questioning the scalability of the business. Michael Wekerle offered $100,000 for 50% equity, which the founders negotiated down to 40%, and the deal was accepted.
