Anthony Santino, from Toronto, asked for $100,000 for 15% of his company selling the Thrower Blade, an attachment that turns a snowblower into a snowplow for heavy or wet snow. The blade is adjustable to fit different machine widths, attaches by drilling or a patented clip system, and retails for $199. Anthony Santino holds about seven patents on the product, has signed forecast agreements (not firm orders) with Home Depot USA, Home Depot Canada, Lowe's and Rona, but has made no sales to date and has been developing the product part-time over about four years.
Arlene Dickinson, Manjit Minhas, Michele Romanow and Vincenzo Guzzo went out, citing the lack of sales and concerns about Anthony Santino's commitment to the business full-time. Robert Herjavec offered $100,000 for 50%, but Anthony Santino declined, countering at 20%, and no deal was reached.
