Shark Tank US | Nourish And Bloom Is 'Not Investible In' According To Mark Cuban
/ sptv
Mark: "your finances suck"
Lady: "well that's why its so hard being a black entrepreneur"
@@MegaMijit never knew financial issues are colour based and not proper financial planning 🤣
Bro as a black man I hat e when black people put skin color card
@@MegaMijit can’t help themselves from buying hellcats when that cash flow comes in😂
Ugh
I came to the comment section for this comment exactly! I knew they would be crucified for that comment!
Am I the only one who watches Shark Tank and isn’t at all interested in the personal history of the entrepreneurs?
💯 it drives me nuts
It's meant to evoke emotion, but I agree.
I prefer the history of their business not themselves personally.
I like to know about the history but their professional history
No, you're not the only one. It's so irrelevant to what they are doing. I bet it's not the sharks that want to know and just down to the show that convinces them to ask it
They said they have less spillage and less employees because of their technology, yet they aren’t profitable. Something doesn’t add up
They said they are living on their profits and they have at least one child.
@@jdrodrigues7 so? Even in the netherlands a normal store on a average day makes 100k easy
@quadmeister not a small 1 like that in a food desert/small town. 100k a day 😂, that's major supermarket stuff.
@@quadmeister 100K monopoly dollars a day?
They already said last month's total revenue was $22K. $ = US dollars.
@@user-yt198 yeah 22k is nothing.. even a dominos here in netherlands make 2/3K a day.. so 70k a month🤣 the supermarkets make more money than you think
Only a mile? That's not a desert, it's a 15 minute walk - which is good for the health. That's a bonus. Exercise and less calories.
No need to say they dont walk often
@@marc-antoinemarcoux697 loll fr talking about healthy when u look the same front and back
americans are lazy did you forget??
Ya when he said 1 mile I was like tf I walk that far to get roti
Exacly..
it's amazing when people who are not healthy preach about health
True!! Like most of the Personal Trainers that want to train you and they are in bad shape 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This hit deep
So them wanting to change their diet is a problem? 😂
@@Justhere4videos wel lthey clearly have had the store for a few years
Eating healthy has absolutely nothing to do with being fat. You can eat salads all day every day and be fat. You can eat pure fruit all day and be fat. It’s all about calories. They could be absolutely healthier than a skinny guy eating fast food all day.
Lol the panic, "im black" as if we couldn't tell. I can't imagine starting a business and my only advantage being "im latino"
Yeah i was for that I'm black card..SMH
2 over weight people trying to promote healthy eating is a terrible advert
😂 fr
Lmao
😂😂
There was an entrepreneur way back in the day promoting a piece of exercise equipment andBarbara agreed to invest in it if he used it and lost 20 pounds
Almost like a man that can’t complete a full sentence running the United States
Amazon has the same thing as them. You go in and come out not having to pay with credit card
While simultaneously being monitored by thousands of employees in India who process the transactions
Because Amazon has tons of money, they just do that to play around.
@@auggie87 it's called data annotations. the indian employees are just temporary, as soon as the A.I starts learning the pattern that the indians are annotating, they'd all be shutdown.
And it wasn't AI, it was Indian sweatshops.
@@chrisjon8563 its already shut down tho XD
8:37 she pulled the race card and it got edited
good
Imagine if we said white owned business
Blacks do it all the time when things don’t go their way. They play the race card saying they are never on equal fair grounds and life doesn’t give them the same opportunities and chances although we all have equal access to many doors.
ugh why do people always make it about race its annoying
I love the comments regarding this! I grew up in iraq and went through war but you never see me using the “I’m brown” or “I wasn’t supposed to be here” like no man it doesn’t matter what I look like or where I’m from we all got the same chance and love that more people are seeing and understanding that
The last ditch effort of “black entrepreneurs” is growing old. Might as well cry and tell them you are a mom of two kids while you’re at it.
Fortunately sharks are sharks because they see right through this kind of thing. They can appear sympathetic on the outside (especially Barbara to people who dropped out of school or Robert to immigrants etc), but beneath that they are still calculating and logical.
The only exception might be Mark, who sometimes just says "yeah it's a bad deal, but I have so much money that I don't care". There were interviews with sharks where they said that they don't like him because of it, since doing it goes against the primary principle of the show - making financially sound investments.

@@Noble_Trades. right
I agree and I’m black, enough of the cry for help bull
Average Kamala Harris voters
“4 sharks are out think of something quick!”
“WE’RE BLACK!”
Facts 😂😂
yep, tells you they HATE white people right there!
Turns out healthy food is good for people on the spectrum. Mind blowing!
Right, so dumb of them to pander with that
Can’t stand when someone pulls the race card.
I cringe when they used the I’m black card
When other ethnicities say they’re immigrants it’s a different story ??? Shut up
I honestly didn’t see that coming
Average Kamala Harris voters
Sad
Where?

She tried everything. Even the "we're black" card. 😂
Cuban: I only have one reason, and for those reasons, I'm out.
he ALWAYS does that 😭😭
Food desert, black card, Autism, Autonymous shopping.. they need to get into SEO not this.. they got the buzzwords down packed
nice.
but no ROI, high CAC, low LTV, negative EBITA
Yadayada I'm black... So whaaaaat... I'm black too... 🥱🥱🥱
Yea exactly black like me. Stop making excuses. Stop seeking sympathy 🎉😂😂
I'm black too and black people with that type of mentality are really annoying.
Promotes "healthy" eating while being overweight at the same time. 🤣
Didn't Amazon close their stores that used this technology?
yes because there wasn't a reliable way to track which products are being taken by cameras.. food deserts are in low income areas, thus high crime areas. a system that relies on collective goodwill is obviously a bad fit for such areas. As kevin said there are three issues/expenses, but model itself is questionable... why not hire a teenager for 12/hr instead??? why go through 20M invention in low margin business. yes automation is good for low margin but not if it doesn't really work... and so far into the future that requires breakthroughs... this is one step ahead of self checkout.. i think real estate problem is ok... real problem which if exists is distribution.. if companies aren't willing to supply so far away then they will have to roll out their own trucking fleet. which is doable too if done organically and such... but healthy food costs MORE, to bring healthy food in low income area and sell is just not viable... govt should step in subsidize or start non profit grocery chain
@@troooooper100 Having a teenager though in a store all alone with tons of randoms coming in from all parts of the country is also really questionable and unsafe..
Bruh food deserts are riddled with crime, out of business in months
I don't understand the food desert thing. If people wanted to buy fresh healthy foods in those areas, then wouldn't the stores that are already there sell those things?
This 💯... I'm from India.. The so called poor nation, but with ample supply of fresh produce. Like no jokes, every street corners have them. Even if you are travelling in highways with nothing in sight, You can be sure to find intermittently some push cart vendor selling coconuts, fruits and veggies .
Americans prefer to store up and eat food for weeks. Hence they don't need quick access shops. But in India where the population is used to relatively fresh foods and are majorly herbivores, supply of perishables becomes essential.
It is indeed a cultural problem.
LOL the literal DEFINITION of a "food desert" is a place where they DON'T HAVE HEALTHY FOOD... This comment is as smart as writing "why isn't it dry in the middle of the ocean? Gotcha!!" 💀
Seth literally started out his comment by admitting he does not understand this topic at all. So yeah, obviously all his statements are made by a person who doesn't understand 😂
You can buy organic frozen and canned healthy foods at any Aldi store and those are usually in poor areas
because they are in poor areas where people dont have money
They certainly don’t look like they live in a food desert
They meant dessert not desert.
not nice
LMFAO
😂😂
Hi, so funnily enough this is actually the complete opposite of what the research finds.
I know it was meant as a (mean) joke, but in the absence of fresh fruits and vegetables, what do you think people have to eat? Packet items. Frozen meals. Processed foods.
Sorry to break it to you, but this is actually exactly what people who live in food deserts look like. And why they are so detrimental.
They’re promoting healthy food, but they’re both fat?
Not the first time it happens in this show lol
could be medical reasons
Great idea but there are way too many moving parts- real estate, technology, food, and managing and maintaining all the different kinds of stores. I can understand why they didn't get a deal, far too much risk with no guarantee on a return.
There’s going to be no old people that go there they don’t know how to use apps and barcodes
There’s going to be no old ppl on tik tok, Uber, the roller rink, the night club, etc…what’s your point?
@@kyle896 it’s too niche not everyone wants to use a app to shop
@@Yessirdoyet billions are using Amazon. Get real 😂
If their technology is proprietary, then they can make multi-million dollar deals with the government for use of their technology in libraries, different modes of transportation, etc...
Amazon Go/Fresh stores used this tech a few years before them. No way these folks have a patent. Amazon actually offers the "Just Walk Out" tech to third party stores, while also phasing it out of their own Go/Fresh stores, instead using new "smart carts." The IDEA of this sounds cool, but not even Amazon has really figured it out... yet.
Doesnt amazon have these types of stores?
600 lbs between 2 people and they are talking health and ect.. The irony. Mention the race card more and the cringe stuff. Victimhood. I was waiting for " I cant breathe"

I would like to see the whole thing any advice where i can watch them please thank you already in advance
Did I just Hear the Race Card used on Shark tank. 😮. Here’s a solution to food deserts. Tell your people if they want stores they must stop stealing😢
3 years in business I pray God continues to bless this couple and their business. 🙏🙏🙏
Not a whole 1 mile away 😱 omg. That might be very far for these 2 .
Plus if you’re going to promote healthy eating and fresh food you might want to get into shape.
A mile is a lot in an urban environment- ie an actual city and not the suburbs- where walking, biking and busses are preferred. However he is off, as in reality city residents are around 2-3 miles away from fresh produce (does not count Whole Foods or any other specialty grocery store), and suburbanites are around 4-5 miles away on average. Also the stats he was quoting are specifically about affordable grocery, which this would most likely turn out not to be.
Exactly My God, I’m taking food advice from you two??
The guest shark hit on something that I've felt while watching several Shark Tank pitches- if you're really dedicated to a mission that's focused on helping the community, why does that mission need to make you millions of dollars? I feel like it just muddies the waters. If you want to do good in the world, do good in the world. Be an ethical nonprofit, get funding because people support your mission and your message. But if you want to be a business tycoon, generating profit, do that. Yes, be an ethical, honest businessperson who helps the community as much as you can. But if you're turning your desire to help into a way to get people to fund your for-profit business, then it gets a little iffy
They didn’t even explore the type of food they sell there and whether it’s affordable for ppl
They claim their model reduces costs. However… I don’t think paying 1 or 2 people minimum wage is anywhere near the cost of the tech and research and development that constantly will need to be done.
Most convenience stores become profitable on day 1…
These are the same people selling tax prep and credit repair at any hood corner store
Cannot stand when they say “black owned business” that doesn’t mean anything.
yeah it means they have an advantage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@daysoff4ever it really doesn’t because they can be subpar mediocre, and still claim that people should come to support their Black own business from my understanding in my experience. The ones who are doing the worst say that the most.
Lol White plains is not a food desert it’s filled with restaurants I live like 15 minutes away.
Black entrepreneurs bro stop the race card that’s the divide and it’s shameful to play the poor me card
Someone is not an entrepreneur until they make significant profit for a significant time. Until then it’s a hobby or “trying to be an entrepreneur.” Let’s keep it real and not insult entrepreneurs.
That’s lame. Get off your couch and do something
Amazon tried to do what they’re doing on the tech side & failed.
I question if they actually have the “Ai” part figured out. The truth about Amazon’s autonomous stores was 1000 employees in India reviewing footage.
They had a plan to reduce the need for human review but bailed on it…. And they have extremely deep pockets to chase an idea.
The idea is great. Cheap pop up shops that serve healthy quality food that can be installed in places that would normally only get a Dollar General at best. I think their issue is just trying to do too many things, when perhaps the micro shop idea in food deserts should be the main and only focus for now
I feel like it is something that would've been done by one of the big chain grocers or stores if they saw profit in it. I'm not sure even Amazon is making profit from their Amazon go stores, but they have the size to absorb losses and throw money at it. My feeling is that they'll end up with a bunch of run-down unprofitable stores in a few years assuming they don't go the non-profit route. Or they end up going up-scale and becoming just another Foxtrot market.
Lot to take away here: I thought it was a really good idea and they made it seem like it would be really profitable but then the sharks said it isn’t and they didn’t really explain how it’s not profitable and then the owners pulled the black card which doesn’t have anything to do with being bad with financials, curious how it’s not profitable if there’s minimal expenses. Theft? Not enough traffic? Idk
Basically they replicated amazon go. Grocery business is brutal as kevin mentioned. Their profit margins are less than 3% in order to make money they have to sell billions of dollors of food. They burnt cash.
1 mile - 5 miles from a store is walkable no?
I hate cashierless stores. I'd not even go in one because of that
Being a black entrepreneur 😂 wah wah wah. Those stores having no employees in inner cities will be destroyed within 6 months if that
The weight put a lot in the balance for the deal I didn't understand this business either
Technology isn’t proprietary at all…Amazon already does this with their “Go” stores. Yeah it’s not tailored specifically to healthy food but the tech is there’s.
There is a dollar general store in eagles nest North Carolina that utilizes this technology.
Regardless of whether we are White or Black, we all share the same humanity. It’s disheartening to see race and color still being used as dividing lines in today’s world. Why can’t we stand together as one nation, united under God, indivisible? My two closest friends are Black, and our shared story is one of striving for success through hard work and integrity, not by diminishing our identities to make a deal. We all deserve to be seen for who we are, not for the color of our skin.
This couple built a store, technology, and software for $1.5M wow that's very impressive. Plus they're solving a real problem.
Robot ^ lol
@@HONSTLY what problem are these 2 are solving? Give me a break!
@@estiennetaylor1260 food deserts
@@HONSTLY more like food desserts to these 2.
$1.5M is a lot of cash! I could set up a store in a strip mall for about $300k. Spend more to stock it. Wouldn’t come close to $1.5M. Also, why choose the large store for the proof of concept? Poor decision making!
They want to solve a problem. That is admirable. But, they haven’t solved anything yet. Best of luck to them.
Isn’t this like the Amazon Go store ?
This isn’t new technology - Amazon has the same tech and it’s open for anyone to use…
She got a lazy eye or something 😂
Pulled the Victim card immediately too
Reading this comment as I saw it bruh 😂 4:00
Update: Nourish and Bloom revenue hit 5M this year. Not sure if they're profitable yet.
The amount of racism in these comments coming from the faceless profile pic community is crazy lol I pray these BLACK folks nothing but success!!!!
So far so good. In business now for 3 years
Its amazing they brought out the race card at the end.
They should say “actually” a little more
I thought Barbara was a real estate mogul, it seems like this should’ve been her type of deal right?
It's not completely real estate.
LOVED THEM, THEN OFCCCCC THEY PULLED THE RACE CARD SMFH. NEXTTTTTTTT..........
5 miles from rural areas? Dude I used to drive 25 miles to get to town! 😂
"Thanks to AI people can shop then leave" yeah that's how a store works. Without AI.
They’ll be fine. Keep going! It’s Good.
Barbara is always the first one to get out 😂
At Ownage Pranks, the character Tyrone also has a son called Jabari. It's interesting
A mile away? Oh no, not a 5-10 minute bike ride! The horror. Is that seriously the definition of a food desert?
The moment I heard the guy imply that food could address autism I knew Mark was going to have a problem with them
I like to hear from the entrepreneur what’s their plan on how to sell
This really is a good idea for those living in food deserts. Food deserts are an under acknowledged issue in today’s day and age, IMHO. That being said, Mr. Wonderful identified the issues with the business very articulately. Would be a great project for Elon Musk to throw some money at if he wanted to buy some good will with the public.
Kevin is halarious 😂
Also earth is FLAT! TH-cam Eric Dubay
Lori’s excuses always make me do an eye roll lol
I’m just wondering how they think they can stand on a healthy platform when they both have big backs
Theres literally a fresh food micro markets like this all of Mississippi of all places. I know because i launched em in 2017
Why did she have to bring up that we are black entrepreneurs? I don’t hear white entrepreneurs on there saying we are white entrepreneurs???🫣🫣🫣
Ouch. Mark regretted saying he'd help them. Do you think Mark would introduce them to anybody he knows? I don't think so. It's an obviously terrible idea.
This technology exists in airports today
This technology is in break rooms all across the country. It’s called Avenue C
In the first 48 seconds I knew a few that wouldn’t.
White plains is a food desert?
Barbara: youre not an attractive male berween 20 and 30 years old. For that reason I'm out.
but why are there food deserts in these areas??
How did we know Barbara was out even before a single word was spoken
This is a company that Amazon would buy cheap and actually figure out at scale.
😢 kinda tearing up cause this business is for the betterment of mankind - to improve health of an individual. The mission is on point. They didn’t get a “deal” but Marc will/is.. and prolly allready did propel them forward in the state of Texas. I hope and wish they succeed and spread throughout the USA/ and the world … because we .. as a people need to eat better, and this business/idea provides that.
Much love
Looking at the comments again now that I've finished watching the video... She mentioned being black so quickly you could hardly catch it. I find it odd that so many commentors fixated on that. It's also a shame that people are criticizing them for their weight. We don't know anything about their personal lifestyles and diet. They could be very healthy eaters- and that would certainly match the mission of their company. But weight doesn't disappear overnight, no matter what you eat. It can take years for your outer appearance to match your lifestyle change. And food is not even the only thing that affects your weight. It seems that these entrepreneurs are being accused of harping on a superficial thing like race- while at the same time being judged for another superficial thing, like their weight... You just can't win with people
Who else is here for dinner?
I on the toi...
never mind! 🙂
Breakfast for me
Bruh ain’t no way she realized they weren’t getting a deal then pulled the black card
Sadly If you pull the power from the container store, everything is free.
they sell healthy food but look like they eat fast food
Giving their size they never lived on a food desert .if that's crap ever existed in a 1st world country .
Tried using the black card….
They need to raise a boat load of money
"AI" driven stores?
Sounds like what Wallmart tried XD
5:25 translation: I only know how to sell chinese made junk and trinkets and gadgets. I have no idea how to operate an actual business.
They look more like they created the food desert by eating everything in the area.
These people look like they practice what they preach!
Yes hard as “black “ entrepreneurs when u raised millions of dollars and ate all your inventories
