Judy Stewart, from Markham, Ontario, asked for $80,000 for 25% of Tresolz, a company selling fashion footwear in sizes 11 to 16, priced at about $135 a pair and sold exclusively online. Judy Stewart started the business two years earlier with an initial investment of $20,000, has produced shoes in Brazil, China, Italy and Canada, had $50,000 in sales for each of the prior two years, and was on track for about $150,000 in sales this year after already surpassing $60,000. Judy Stewart previously worked as a schoolteacher before starting the company.
Simu Liu, Brian Scudamore, Manjit Minhas and Arlene Dickinson all went out, citing that the business was too early stage for investment given the limited capital deployed and growth so far. Wes Hall initially passed with the others but returned to offer $80,000 for 30% of the company plus a 5% royalty, which Judy Stewart accepted.
