Will Jamie Bet The Farm on Moink? | Shark Tank: How It Started

Moink is a company helping small family farms take on Big Ag. But will this company win a ribbon at the county fair?

Welcome to "How It Started!"
In this series, we'll see entrepreneurs enter the Shark Tank looking for a deal. We'll see what happens when they came face to face with the Sharks - and see how their product is doing now!

Check out more How it Started Videos here:

The Sharks are looking for the best products and businesses America has to offer. Hopeful entrepreneurs come to the Shark Tank seeking an investment to start, grow or save their businesses. If the Sharks hear a great idea, they’re ready to invest using their own money. And they’ll fight each other for a piece of the action. But first, the entrepreneur must convince a shark to invest the full amount they are asking for.

This Emmy Award-winning show has been the launching pad for some of the greatest products ever sold. The Sharks, Mark Cuban, Kevin O’Leary, Barbara Corcoran, Daymond John, Lori Greiner and Robert Herjavec (along with other celebrity guest sharks) have made deals with - or passed on - some amazing brands: The Squatty Potty, Simply Fit Board, Bombas Socks, The Ring Doorbell, Scrub Daddy and The Original Comfy – to name just a few.

The guy that went in on the deal was on shark tank himself with his product ring. He left without a deal and later got bought out by Amazon making him richer than Lori Barbara and Robert combined lol.

[farhanfaisal]

That was the guy who came up with ring and got laughed at. Now he is a shark. Mann life is weird

[keyquestions]

I loved this clip. Wow. I had no idea the Ring guy became a shark. Amazing. I remember his deer in the headlights gaze when he came to pitch his product and had to leave without an investment. Soon after he's the Shark investing in a small town business and helping it grow. Truly an inspiring story. My favorite part was when they both put on their Cowboy/girl hats in sync. I could watch that over and over lol. Great clip 🤟💙

[pelangos]

Good for her! I love how she works with many farmers, not just one supplier. That way it helps get more sales for small farmers.

Gotta love Jamie, he was standing there in front of the sharks a few years ago by himself presenting his company and got denied, he later sold it to Amazon and is now worth more then Lori, Barbara and Robert combined

Update : Monik box generated $74M revenue in 2022 so again Jamie was spot on & rest of the shark missed!

[nnamdi]

Now it’s at 74 million.. as of August of this year 2022. It’s December….. crazy.

Oh gosh this made me cry. I'm a start-up 3rd generation Filipina farmer helping my parents make their heirloom farm profitable. I feel in a deep deep level Lori's passion to help her family esp when she talked about her dad who took his own life. You see I'm a solo parent for 9yrs now and it's a struggle all the way through. I'm happy to see Lori and James work together and witness that there is indeed money in agri. I am manifesting to align with an investor to invest in our start up farm. And I cry out to the Universe to bring me all the energy I need to push this through. So Mote it be.

well hate to say, but this dude its right, when you get big you forgot when you still little👍a man with his attitude and his word better than anything else

[Godfrey_said_it]

She deserves all her success. God bless her.

[ShivinUnitholi]

Her father would be so proud of her. God bless his soul. May Moink reach many more farmers and customers and may the tribe grow.

[MightyCrischan]

Man was rejected, became successful more than the sharks, came back just to trashtalk them. 🤣

[w.s.andrew]

I have this feeling that Cuban seriously dislikes Jamie, from this interaction and from past interviews/clips where Cuban was asked "How come you guys didn't see the potential in Ring?", and Cuban's response mostly was repeating that Jamie had to raise another 400 million for his company to even be considered for acquisition. I get that logic, but I also kind of feel like Cuban is just really petty sometimes and he sort of continues holding this grudge with Jamie on a personal level.

Thanks to our Farmer's, You are Essential 💯‼️

[juanquiroz]

Jamie is a gold mine generator. Dude knows what has potential, I wouldn't mind pitching him a business idea that I've been working on for the last 4 years since pre pandemic.

Well Sharks, the lil one is not lil anymore. Do you folks remember, you were lil for a long time before you became sharks? Happy for her. :)

Edit:

And Lucinda, you might not be educated but always remember what Calvin Coolidge said:

"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On!' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.”

[jogasmentality]

This business owner is cut out to be a politician the way she talks.

[VTECADDICT_BTH]

he really do mean it, to help, he can ask more meat in that deal, but he didn't

[XO]

Damm! I hope she does well. Farmers get it so tough. No farmers, no food. They are at the top of the pyramid, not the bottom.

[gilbertcuellar]

Awesome story. Congrats on ur success.
