Mango Mango Shark Tank Update

When you first listen to or read the fruit brand name, what comes to your mind? Your favorite fruit that seasonally comes to delight you. But what if you can enjoy the taste of it forever without actually longing and waiting for it for the entire year just in different forms? Like a pickle, a jam, a dip, a salad dressing, or a sauce, or probably the way you want it to be.

Mango Mango is a company that preserves natural and gluten-free and is made out of only four elements, Mango Fruit, Pure Cane Sugar, Vanilla Extract, and Fresh Lime Juice. They call it Mangolicious, as they try to put as much as Mango, making their customers happy. They add no artificial flavors, colors, fillers, or preservatives, and are completely natural since the preservatives have no thickening components like corn syrup, pectin, gelatin, or carrageenan.

They made a business out of their first in-demand food product at their events. These three friends grabbed the opportunity and expanded their business and now have their products in stores in Virginia and online too. They started the business with their event business, initially, it took $1000 to make and produce the preserves that filled about 300 jars.

Did Mango Mango get a deal on Shark Tank?

No, the Mango Mango couldn’t secure a deal on Shark Tank. The owners pitched their business seeking $75,000 for a 20% stake in the company.  While one of the sharks, Kevin already had an experience in the Jelly company was not happy with the margins and so denied to not invest in the company.

Following Kevin’s decision Raymond too backed out. Robert liked the product but couldn’t see himself making the right decisions and, Lori who usually never preferred mangoes, found the products very delicious, but was quite firm about the fact that the company doesn’t need any sharks but could fund itself from the revenue itself.
