Transcript
00:00Welcome to the elevator.
00:04Hi, I'm Tasha, founder of Ice Leko and the inventor of our flagship product, the Pinsir
00:10Pal.
00:11My daughter's special needs sparked my journey, unveiling the vital role the Pinsir Grass
00:16plays in fine motor development.
00:19I'm seeking mentorship, $150,000 for 10% to make an impact with you, one pinch at a time.
00:29I love her.
00:30I agree.
00:31I loved her energy and her crisp pitch.
00:40I liked it.
00:41You guys are pushovers.
00:42I mean, come on.
00:43She's so good.
00:44I mean, she had some pizzazz, a little extra.
00:47She definitely nailed the pitch.
00:48I also love the fact that she wants to do well by doing good.
00:52I immediately discount the whole.
00:53Come on, Mark.
00:54I thought that was an incredible pitch.
00:57What was it missing?
00:58It was missing some sense of what, I don't want to know what the real market is for this
01:01thing.
01:02I mean, I don't know what it does.
01:03Maybe we find out more.
01:04I'm not sure.
01:05Just a pinch, Mark.
01:06Approved.
01:07First, you're a very compelling presenter, but you're, at least for me, you're pitching
01:14the wrong product.
01:15It's just too nichey.
01:17There's a lot of issues.
01:18It's very early.
01:19I mean, for me, despite how much I like you, I'm afraid that I'm not going to be able to
01:24help you.
01:25I'm afraid I'm out.
01:26Okay.
01:28I think your story is heartwarming, and I love the fact that you're doing well by doing
01:32good.
01:33It just feels a little nichey to me, and as an investor, I'm out.
01:37Honestly, I love what you've created, and there's a lot more things to figure out before
01:44you go out and get investment.
01:46And so, although I unfortunately am going to pass, I'd personally be happy to mentor
01:52you on your journey.
01:54Thank you so much, Ken.
01:55Thank you, Tasha.
01:56Good luck.
