they were just dumb - people think their ideas are million dollar ideas - should of taken the first offer and grow - 1% of something is better than 100% of nothing
Not a bad product, I'm sure some people would be willing to buy it and it makes a decent office gift. That being said, $11 to make one is ridiculous and $40 selling price is even crazier
It's solving a problem that doesn't exist, imagine baying a mute button that you will have to charge regularly but your devices have a free mute button? Their product is not even wireless, bad business
They pitched the wrong use case, in my line of work this is so useful, we’re in zoom meetings 6 hours a day and have like 20 windows open multitasking on 3 monitors, being able to quickly mute and unmute without digging through windows will be awesome. I have an officemate that always talks while I’m in a meeting and she can just glance at my desk now and know to be quiet
100% agree they should have shown the software too. The software is what does the work and is what makes this product hard to copy. I love mine, I use it with MS teams and use it exactly for this purpose! I am a software developer and this allows me to attend meetings but still get stuff done.
Despite the hilariously simple idea, and the fact that their product will probably not sell, their patent is really powerful. A mute button (without the mic) can go a long way on certain devices
Its a provisional patent. They'll probably won't be able to keep it in the long run, especially on how awful their sales number have been. Imagine being on 1600+ Staples stores and only selling 150 units. That sounds like a flop to me.
@Neo Anderson it doesn't do anything special. The components alone don't make up for that. Honestly it's a gimmick. Granted I worked from home the last two years and honestly I could of used it a few times. Peter was right with what he said about the cost.
The main issue was a $2 million dollar valuation with barely $200k in sales, and probably not even half that in profits, for a fairly niche business. If they came in asking $50k for 20% they almost certainly would've gotten a deal and retained 80% of a business worth 10 times what they could achieve on their own. Admitting that they'd been in a thousand stores for a 4 weeks and only sold a 150 units, an astonishing feat really considering that means an average of like 0.03 units per store per week where with most new products you'd have at least a few sales per week from customers who like to buy new things just for the sake of trying them out.
It's a good product. It's just done by delusional California types. They're out of touch with the rest of the country. This could have become widely adopted product for $10-15. But Peter didn't help them. With their people skills there's no way they'd get far dealing with the Chinese to lower cost. Update: they indeed didn't lower the cost. Dum dums.
Tbh this design has been invented years ago, for example, the HyperX Solocast, has a button on top of its microphone which mutes you, it also has an illuminating red light showing whether you are muted or not. The mic itself is only $70, it's a great microphone too, I see absolutely no demand in the market for this product.
@@prointproint6480That just means the company's dead. Selling 3 when you have 3 is sold out. A lot of crap shark tank products still have listings when the business is long gone.
Another great use is when people DON’T know that they’re muted. I have been to so many meetings where the speakers have no clue that they’re muted … which, once they realize it, induces a mild panic as they awkwardly fumble through their icons to try and fix the issue.
That thing costing them over 11$ to produce is mind boggling, their complete lack of sales while in every staples is laughable and to put the cherry on top they thought it should retail at 40$. Not a horrible product but easily replicated and ran by fools
I initially thought the same but they have grown quite a bit now that they have hit Amazon. They now offer a mini version and are pushing ~500 units a month at $40 a pop for the full size and another 500 units per month with their mini version at $25 a pop.
It's basically a HyperX Quadcast S (RGB) Microphone, but without being a microphone, which takes up more space on your desk than the microphone itself which can be attached to a mechanical microphone boom.
MuteMe can control other devices that makes it different, I use it with my blue yeti and my AirPods and it works great. Plus i use webex, teams zoom and google meet depending on the meeting (lots of external clients) and having one mute button makes it easy. I have been a big supporter of theirs since their kickstarter and I am surprised this is such a polarizing product.
Interesting idea but, Teams is always listening to the environment and if it hears a noise, like your chair moving, you typing, or even the person speaking in the meeting through your computer speakers, it gives you a notification that you are muted and how to unmute your mic.
@@vivalavivaldi You know 90% of people have 2 monitors. Which fixes this issue. Are you going to bring your little button with your laptop to Starbucks to work? No. This product is dogshit and useless.
Many conferencing software's have push to talk feature. You can be on mute by default and press the space bar or some key combination when you are talking. 😃
That isn’t enough for many situations. For example, when giving a screen share presentation to a client that wouldn’t do it. I could, however, still just slap the button and mute myself without having to switch tab to MS Teams and then mute myself
Yeah but it's not the same, if you share your screen everyone can see that you muted yourself.... trust me, im speaking from 4 years of home office and university distant learning experience. It's not the same
He is worse than Barbara. On top of that, if any company that has good sales and is comfortable with their business. He will make them feel guilty by saying "You stole the carpet from the person who needed this platform the most", something like that. If this was the logic, why do multi million dollar companies still raise money, open IPO and dilute themselves. He really is a clown and a hypocrite who is focused only on black people(even his Fubu company is focused on black people)
I’m gonna be honest, this is the type of product I could see being at a local dollar store. If they went with cheaper materials, and mass produced to decrease CGS then I could see it being manufactured at .40 cents and sold at 1.00 with a total 60 percent profit margin
That's horrible. Could easily sell for $4.99. People buy gadgets all the time. $5 ain't much just to see if it's useful. Product like this needs to be 300% plus
I feel like even if someone who talks a lot had this product, they would still forget to push the button to put themselves on mute. The issue here isn't the lack of technology that helps with this, it's the carelessness of people.
The work around for their competition is to add a microphone to the mute button. Also, as someone who does a bunch of Zooms I don't think it is all that difficult to mute yourself. It is a cool looking product though.
Yeah i have no freaking idea how it's difficult to check if you're muted. If you're having a hard time with too much opened windows then get any free software online that WILL help with that. There are tons!
@@BK-ob3loSo instead of taking the minute to learn or teach the digitally illiterate to find the appropriate button to mute themselves, you'd rather spend money on buying a huge physical extension button that does a single task, which is a task that you can already do for free on every single device with minimal hassle? If people buy this stuff, even if it costs a single cent, they deserve to be or feel scammed.
usually kevin will make an offer, but this guys insulted kevin in their pitch, and then when peter jones make a joke about their product, kevin laugh sounds satisfying
This form factor sucks for anyone in an office that needs to move from meeting room to meeting room. I see the use case, being able to see in an office who is on mute and you can talk too and whose mic is hot. But it needs to be more portable.
A little potential in the product but with the price cost it lowers the chances of it being a big business. They are a bit over optiminist which also could be a downfall towards sales.
If a big mute tone or button on your screen can’t distract you, this light won’t either. And Peter is right, someone in Asia is gonna flood the market with this product before they even wake up. Too simple, no USP.
The best time for this was during covid , everyone was home , every meeting was virtual, schools were virtual ..now , it's kind of a hybrid system.. still people might use it but the 40$ price point won't sell much.
i have one of these buttons with the lights...but mine's got a headphone and a mic as well. AND a drop call button...AND volume buttons...AND it was less than 40 bucks..
They just compared themselves to the Ring doorbell, lol. People will still tend to overlook an illuminated button. They'll still say some nasty stuff on call.
Very great tips provided to them: Add a microphone into it, change up the marketing strategy and push it through social media, manufacture it cheaply in china for a couple dollars to cut the price, and go direct to businesses to sell.
Peter Jones on Shark Tank!? This is the crossover I needed! I'm surprised there aren't more comments about this. Maybe people don't watch Dragon's Den as well as Shark Tank.
Muteme only asset is the provisional patent for the non-mic and light interaction. If granted, the company could be protect their market share against copy cats. Before granted, this company has little sales, high production costs which never can justify the current valuation.
Good concept but it could be made for a way cheaper price, instead of making an all in one device that mutes you and shows that you're muted, you could have just made a device that sends a small macro to your computer and just changes color on every tap. This feature is built in in a lot of laptops nowadays, and Loads of softwares already do this including Microsoft's own powertoys. You could have made a product that requires you to install Microsoft power toys and just interacts with the software and acts as a macro, that would barely cost them $1 to make
The company doesn't really match the product. They're operating like a company that would make boutique products, but the problem they're solving isn't worth the price. It should be a cheap circuit board surrounded by LEDs housed in plastic. Landed price should be under $2 and it should retail for $5-10. I also think they should scale it as fast as possible and either license it or exit to a company like Logitech. Those guys seem smart. They shouldn't spend more than a few years working on this company.
He would’ve dropped out after the show anyway after reflecting on it. But yes they should’ve taken it read the room it was obvi the other sharks weren’t into it.
So it's an IOT device that does something you get for free on Zoom or skype or any meeting room for that matter. And I believe it doesn't take much effort to move your mouse pointer or your finger on the mute button.
May benefit those in zoom meetings all day but the price point isn't worth it to me. They talk about preserving screen real estate but I like preserving desk real estate more.
This is truly a terrible idea. All video or audio conferencing apps have a mute button that you can tell if it’s pressed or not, there is already a key on most laptops that do this exact thing, push to talk exists, I can list out another 100 reasons but this is trying to fill a niche that doesn’t exist
I think they could really sell it for 20 dollars actually, I mean it looks high quality, it's something you do quite a lot and the engraving is a really fun concept, but yeah 40 dollars is quite a lot
Confused, how they can make a claim that they were the first illuminated mute button when there are so many microphones out on the market, where you can tap to mute
$40 AND it doesnt connect to your computer? That isn't even close to being worth it. Like Mark suggested, if you could connect this to your computer and mute yourself (maybe even have a switch to turn off your camera as well) then it would be worth maybe 20 bucks. But it's just a button with a red and green light
I love how the dude in the suit (don't know his name, new enough to this) after hearing about Kickstarter and Indigogo was just like, "Now, what about real sales?" LMAO. I like that, takes no bullshit. If your business is based on Kickstarter sales, it's not a business.
I think the problem that this product solves is not that a big of a deal. Several communication platforms allows you to set your mic mute on default and push a specific button whenever you want to unmute your mic and then talk.
On their way home they we’re in a horrible accident and ended up having to be air lifted to the hospital. Once they were there they were greeted by Barbara who let them know she was also out.

It should be a cheap circuit board surrounded by LEDs housed in plastic. Landed price should be under $2 and it should retail for $5-10.
I also think they should scale it as fast as possible and either license it or exit to a company like Logitech. Those guys seem smart. They shouldn't spend more than a few years working on this company.
PETER JONES?!? Now this is the crossover weve been needing!
This is so expensive and would be useful but not necessarily to everyone. It's good no sharks went on 👍
I find it amus8ng when people say they're CEO, CFO, COO. I mean nothing wrong in that but big words for a small company.
Product on the side, the patent of containing a mute button without a microphone symbol is actually really impressive!
I mean it will be better if the function is it is hold and speak button, but the price still got to be cheaper

The face on tie when damond dropped out I felt for them not getting a deal
He would’ve dropped out after the show anyway after reflecting on it. But yes they should’ve taken it read the room it was obvi the other sharks weren’t into it.
Lmao this is the most important day of their lives & they are laying down their life for their company & they’re just roasting them the entire time 😂😂
So it's an IOT device that does something you get for free on Zoom or skype or any meeting room for that matter. And I believe it doesn't take much effort to move your mouse pointer or your finger on the mute button.
I would t even buy this for 5$. Anything over 10$ is madness.
May benefit those in zoom meetings all day but the price point isn't worth it to me. They talk about preserving screen real estate but I like preserving desk real estate more.
Stupidest idea I've seen on this show in a hot minute. "we're first to market" LMFAO
This is truly a terrible idea. All video or audio conferencing apps have a mute button that you can tell if it’s pressed or not, there is already a key on most laptops that do this exact thing, push to talk exists, I can list out another 100 reasons but this is trying to fill a niche that doesn’t exist
Instantly, I like Parm's personality! 👍🏻
He is trying so hard to impress everyone in that room
It's just as awesome off camera, lights up the room
@@TyeDaviss Doesnt have the sense to realize this isnt a big time product tho. Charisma can only take you so far
They need to allow it to have map it to other buttons and add dial for volume since it's round
You’re onto something…
I think they could really sell it for 20 dollars actually, I mean it looks high quality, it's something you do quite a lot and the engraving is a really fun concept, but yeah 40 dollars is quite a lot
Confused, how they can make a claim that they were the first illuminated mute button when there are so many microphones out on the market, where you can tap to mute
How does that cost 11$ to make ? You can have a whole advanced device shipped from aliexpress for 10$
Not with rechargeable lithium battery with a stainless steel casing, no.
$40 AND it doesnt connect to your computer? That isn't even close to being worth it. Like Mark suggested, if you could connect this to your computer and mute yourself (maybe even have a switch to turn off your camera as well) then it would be worth maybe 20 bucks. But it's just a button with a red and green light
Those guys clearly loved Dr Seuss growing up 😑😅
I love how the dude in the suit (don't know his name, new enough to this) after hearing about Kickstarter and Indigogo was just like, "Now, what about real sales?" LMAO. I like that, takes no bullshit. If your business is based on Kickstarter sales, it's not a business.
The one time you should take the offer without listening to the rest... 😭😭😭
Imagine plugging your mute button in every time u got a call 😂 horrible idea
Peter Jones thinking why the hell he signed up to shark tank
Lmfao, Mr. Wonderful says “I hate this” 😂
I'm sure Staples is selling a lot more after this aired.
“I’m Ty, like the tie that you wear”
I cringed so bad
I would buy this if it's at a dollar store
Sardarji came up with the idea, thought it was great. White guy tagged along.
I hope Parm and Tye make millions out of this. Rooting for you guys!! you can do it!!
Lol
😂😂🤣🤣
Its just not something anyone wants, sometimes entrepreneurs blind themselves. Doesnt matter how cool they seem
we found Tye alt account
Should make it a 2 button system, one for mic the other for camera
And then someone copies it and they're back to zero
Barbra called after the pitch was aired to let them out: I’m out
I think the problem that this product solves is not that a big of a deal. Several communication platforms allows you to set your mic mute on default and push a specific button whenever you want to unmute your mic and then talk.
On their way home they we’re in a horrible accident and ended up having to be air lifted to the hospital. Once they were there they were greeted by Barbara who let them know she was also out.
🤣🤣🤣
this is so useful wih todays Zoom meetings day in and out
