Who are the founders of Deux Cookies Dough?

Sabeena Ladha is the founder of Deux Cookies Dough. Sabeena used to work in the venture capital world before she founded Deux cookies. During the period of the pandemic, Sabeena started taking fistfuls of supplements and asked her friends, for fun, to make cookies have all the supplements in them. Sabeena and her friend started doing research and studies and found nothing similar to what they thought.

Sabeena saw this gap as an opportunity and took help from the doctors to prepare a gluten-free and vegan recipe for making healthy, tasty, and nutritious cookies. Sabeena found that the dough of the cookies was also great, so, they started selling the dough and cookies both. Sabeena set a goal of touching a specific amount over one year and started side hustling along with her job. The goal set was met in a week and Sabeena jumped into Deux for full time.

Did Duex Cookies Dough get a deal on the Shark Tank?

Sabeena Ladha entered the shark tank in season 13, episode 6 seeking an investment of $300,000 for 10% equity in her business in return. Sabeena shared the story of her journey from a venture capitalist to an entrepreneur of a firm. Sabeena asked the sharks to taste the cookies and all the sharks seemed to be mesmerized by the taste. Sabeena shared how she got an idea of this during the pandemic and gradually it turned out to be a boom for her.

When the sharks asked about the sales figures, she again impressed the sharks by sharing the sales figures for 2020, which were $70,000 ( Sales of 3 months, October- December). Sabeena was expecting to achieve sales of $1.2 million by the end of 2021. Sabeena shared her earlier investment. She raised $1 million at a valuation of  $6 million. Robert Herjavec said she was one of the most impressive and remarkable entrepreneurs he had seen in the last 13 years of his life but still went out because Robert didn’t like the sweet business.

Lori Greiner said if it had more quality of being healthy she would have loved to do the investment and go out. Nirav asked about the daughter-father relationship and went out. Kevin O’Leary agreed with their point of Robert and went out for the same. Mark Cuban said there are too many calories, which is not good for your health and it will be a setback sooner or later, so he’s out. Robert Herjavec changed his mood and gave her an offer of $300,000 for 15% equity in return.
