Revenues
When Wanna Data appeared on Shark Tank, the company was making just under $30k in annual sales.

As of today, the company is consistently generating $40,000 in revenues each month.
Mark Cuban has helped the company reduce manufacturing costs. Wanna Date’s net worth has been growing at a 25% rate each year.
Wanna Data Shark Tank Pitch
Wanna Date approached Shark Tank pitching for $100,000 for 20% equity in the company. Wanna Date offers a line of Date-based spreads that are natural, vegan, and totally allergen-free.
The company offers products in four flavors: Chocolate, Vanilla, Cinnamon, and Pumpkin Spice. One serving of Wanna Date contains 30 calories.
Kevin mentions during the pitch that Dates are one of the healthiest foods on the planet.
Daymond John is the first Shark to drop, saying that he knows nothing about the business. Lori Griener follows as it’s a crowded market and she sees no future in it.
When Mark Cuban was advising the Founder, why didn’t she release just the Plain Date Spread, and discontinue other flavors?
That’s when Barbara swoops in and starts talking about some ridiculous things. Barbara insults the founder saying that she is living on her father’s money and she does not have the drive to be successful.
Hearing this, Mark takes the side of Melissa (Wanna Date Founder). He then offers her $100k for a 33% stake in the company. She accepts the deal without any counteroffer.
