Eric McCutcheon and Thierry Skoda, from Montreal, Quebec, asked for $100,000 for 5% of Walter, a mobile app giving residents of multi-family buildings hotel-like access to amenities, memos, package updates and at-home services, integrated with property management software. The app is free for residents, with property managers paying a dollar per door per month, and additional revenue from at-home service providers. Walter has 9,000 doors in Montreal since a September launch, signed another 8,000 doors in the last three months, and has integrated with backend companies managing 1.48 million doors; the company expects to reach profitability by the following year but is prioritizing growth.

Jim Treliving, Michele Romanow, Arlene Dickinson and Vincenzo Guzzo all initially offered $100,000 to $125,000 for 5%, and a group negotiation for all five Dragons to join at higher equity fell apart, with Manjit Minhas, Arlene Dickinson and Vincenzo Guzzo withdrawing. Eric McCutcheon and Thierry Skoda ultimately accepted a joint offer of $200,000 for 10% from Michele Romanow and Lane Merrifield.
