Also a little crazy. So his guy has the biggest buisness meeting of his life and she force him to do her strange Dancing that has nothing to do with his product😂😂
@north star nah im a buisness owner. If someone wants to make buisness with me and his wife makes a dance show before we make buisness (and its not a dance buisness) i would not make a deal its not sane.
Wow, David Schwimmer... he didn't have to do any of this! He just really wanted to help the guy! What an amazing person! I wish this entrepreneur and his lovely wife all the best!
This is probably the best "non deal" episode I've seen. All the sharks were supportive and gave really good advice. Like Kevin said, if this dude gets David Schwimmer to post this story on Tik Tock, this dude will be set for life.
Just going on Shark Tank gives a company a boost and some of them aren't even genuinely there to get a deal. It's a win whether you get a deal or not that's why David would have encouraged his friend to go on. David working in entertainment would have known that and that's why he would have pushed the guy to apply.
If we look at it on a tactical verbal level, that also worked because he's coming from a place of high value (a Friends star) and he's DISQUALIFYING himself in a way that isn't self-deprecating as he's speaking with Gwyneth, highlighting her and promoting the product.
He actually got the best deal in the world. Didn't lose ANY EQUITY and he just got the best clips to use for his new social media channels. The sharks did you a favor by not investing. Get David and get him to get Gwen to give you a social media shout out or appear in your first ads, and BOOM this things gonna blow. Best of luck brotha
I think he felt awkward to be on the other side…in front of old colleagues and acquaintances that are huge names the way he used to be during the friends era
I think David was just trying to do his best not to overshadow his friend‘s business pitch and take the spotlight away from him. He obviously knows that his star status could potentially derail the viewers’ attention away from the product itself, which he wanted to maintain fully at center stage. So I think his nervousness was him delicately trying to avoid that
Just the fact that he appeared on Shark Tank, and few sharks said it’s by far the best they have tasted is already a great help for him. It’s a good step in the right direction for him to use that in social media so he can gain more traction in that area.
You can hear it very faintly in his voice pretty well the entire time. If this was a regular person no one would say anything but because he's such an experienced actor people are surprised to hear even a hint of nerves. I don't think anyone would have zero nerves in this situation and he did a great job.@@bigulf4872
He thought bringing Swimmer would negate the lack of sales, but realized all Sharks care about is $$! As of 2023, the Long Table Pancakes Worth is estimated at $1 million. But Kevin is right, if his story was in Social media and had become viral, he would've taken off!
Isn't that was Kevin is all about? He needed something that multiple Sharks are experts in and have teams to do. Offer him the 145 for 33% or even 40% and hit the ground running with the marketing.
Its an awesome product it! I feel like they didn't accept the offer and the reason being that Samuel could work more on it, because of the possibility this product can ascend to success.
They are missing out on something big. First of all, David vouched for the guys character and honesty, that's #1 in business, and everything he accomplished thus far is great. The sharks can easily use their social media platform for him. I think this has been a missed opportunity for the sharks just like the "ring".
I have been a business owner for about the same time as the flour guy. The problem is that his sales are too low. His product can be good but he lacks sales expertise...
@@pedrominiaturas If he could do everything by himself, and have high sales (=enough money).. he wouldnt need the Sharks, now, would he?? He is a creative inventor.. he needed help growing, FROM folks who CLAIM they can GROW a business. But in this case, they’re like, yeah go be successful, then come to us for “help”!!!! (Help him out of 30% of his company AND royalties)
My thoughts exactly,... some people invent and only invent. That's why they need partners to get their product out there. Maybe at the start, you try to do it, but it takes huge guts to recognize you can't do everything for your business. He definitely needs to partner up.
@@adamfirst9321 That's exactly what I don't get about this. It's like when they told the girl-child "I won't ask you to leave school, therefor I'm out" - or actually ask a 15y old Child to leave school to be a CEO, because his father is keeping his other job to provide for his family until the business makes enough money to do that. And the Sharks say "no thank you" not because the product isn't good, but because they feel those people are not commited enough, while they just try to make a living... That's exactly the reason WHY they NEED HELP. And this scenario is just the same. They got a good product, but they lack experience and sales, they just need some help to thrive.
They just want something to take off right off the bat. They don't actually want to help cultivate his business. They're all being ridiculous. If they believe in the product then that's all they need. They completely missed out
Ngl, massive respect for David for doing this. Honestly forgot about the dude but seeing him in solidarity with this product is bloody awesome. Love it.
“Best pancake they’ve ever eaten” they both won right there, their love and support for one another and the exposure their business got going on shark tank, they don’t need anything else!
He has good sales, he has a huge celebrity to back up his product, he seems like a genuine and hard-working guy, the sharks themselves loved the product and with all that, he still didn't get one offer from the sharks. Crazy.
You can have the best speedboat ever but if you don't have a captain that knows how to drive it, you won't win any races. Great product but the owner did not have the skills to make it pop.
These are the best pancakes and waffles mixed every. I bought the popcorn one and fell in love with them. I ended up buying every flavour.The taste is amazing and plus they are high fibre which is very hard to find. They are definitely worth purchasing.
David Schwimmer is like the sunrise. Made me absolutely happy to see him. Corn is very hard to digest. It is gluten free but there are other flour products on the market and better to my opinion like buckwheat flour which is also very light and you can do anything with it.
But does it truely taste as good or better? Two or three sharks said it was the best pancake they have ever had so if they tried buckwheat then this would be the best.
@@justinseegmiller8060if you take their word for it. It's TV. You'd have to try some yourself. I think all you need to do is buy popcorn and a pestle and mortar? Lol
The fact that your business was featured on Shark Tank, you've already won, regardless if someone gave you a deal or not, because that's already a huge exposure for your business
He is already winning. Has a supportive and beautiful wife. Has the support of a great actor who is not even invested financially in the company. Has the margins. He just gained 100k+ views by being in thos show. As soon as he creates social media platforms and shares his story, product, and testimonials. He will get a supportive clientale just like kodiak.
I am surprised Gwyneth didn't invest in this. It fits her overall brand perfectly and would have been easily folded into her existing social media and marketing infrastructure. The guy obviously knows how to make the product, and with Paltrow and Schwimmer on board, it would be pretty easy to get in front of some major retailers (mainly Whole Foods, Williams Sonoma, and perhaps Costco).
Gwyneth has to be the star of the show, she takes other peoples ideas and intellectual property and appropriates them to be the centre of attention. she knows she could not be the centre of attention with this product, she would have to support and uplift the man who invented the actual new flour. she isn't good at playing second violin.
He could have countered immediately. "What if I started social media accounts as soon as I get home? I could record my story there, I could ask David to do a testimony. If I did all that, would you be interested in working together?"
nope. if he wanted to do social media and get davids testimony he should/could have done that in preparation for the pitch on ST, jumpstart sales BEFORE the show, not promise to do it after. its obvious to everyone that David could have done a commercial rather than schlep onto ST with a freaking trolley, but for some reason they didn't do any of that to prepare a stronger sell. Weird.
Im confused sometimes over what the Sharks are actually looking for. Some businesses like this one they say is a slow starter and isn't financially viable enough to invest, and others fulfill that requirement and then some, But they still dont invest cause they dont see any value add that they could provide. Businesses like this one needs the help of a shark, that's why he was there in the first place, and went out of his way to name a weakness of his which was Social Media, yet they dont offer that help for him?
Because at the end of the day it’s a premium pancake mix marketed towards a specific group. These guys only care about making money, in large quantities. How is he going to suddenly scale a business like this? Even if he had the greatest pancake recipe in the world, it’s still a nightmare logistically. Unless a shark is a passionate pancake/waffle connoisseur, there is no reason to invest
@@SushiBandit28 true! Maybe if it already had sales in the millions and were in big box stores already, it probably would've peaked more interest and would've even got a couple offers. But sitting at where it is right now, the sharks saw that they would need to put in a lot of their time right from marketing to opening doors to big box stores to figuring out the supply chain when/if it scales. So like you said, at this point only if one of them was really into pancakes then they would take it on
I think they lost interest when they heared it´s for premium cost and not earning much. The lack of social media was just the clove into the coffin for him, but not the true breaker I think. As mentioned they are there to earn the money and with only 20k earning per year they just did not see that happening in the near future.
Actually I think that him not having social media makes it a huge opportunity for the sharks. They could counter 30-40% and make it work. They could get equity at a 250-500k valuation and sells it for 10M in 3 years
Anybody else cracked up at 1.39 when the sharks start applauding for the womans acrobatics and the guy says ‘thank you’ thinking it’s for his popcorn flower😂
Man I hope he took their advice and put his product on social media when he is ready. I say “ when he’s ready” only because once an item ( most of the time) is on shark tank, the company’s sales usually go thru the roof. So if he doesn’t have the man power and product to sell on demand, then it could potentially hurt his business. Especially if it’s on back order. Of course now I’m going to google the company to see where they are at now since this aired at least 6 months ago. I really hope this guy succeeds! And that’s so awesome of David swimmer for helping him. He’s a wonderful man and does so many acts of kindness but doesn’t want or expect recognition for it. All he wants is to help who he can. Which makes him a wonderful “ friend” Which is still till this day, my FAVORITE show! And I watch it every single night before bed. Because it’s on MAX, It’s been on repeat for years! It’s really the main reason why we still pay for that streaming service. Anywho, I’m rambling now lol Good day!
Damn! He shouldn't have said I'm not a social media guy, just say we're getting about 10% customer base from social media, can easily hire someone to do social media with the investment
The sharks don't like to hear that. They don't like to hear that you're gonna use their money to hire people. They like to hear that you already have a successful operation with the rights numbers going and you need their money just to fulfill orders and get more orders
If all he needed is better social media, a Shark could've jumped in now for the low valuation. Both Mark and Kevin said he could easily blow this up by just telling his story, even more so with David Schwimmer and a Shark behind it.
David Schwimmer, please do a standup comedy special. You are funny!!! Samuel you won from the second your wife floated down from the ceiling...and getting Schwimmer to endorse you, damn...that was slick.
Mark is spot on, however I feel there's a simple solution, change the brand to something that sounds delicious and more attractive and focus on the product. If the product is successful, then you can always expand to further building the mission aspect. You can always have a parent company that handles the mission, and the product company that makes money.
I would 100 back this, all they have to do is market it, help him with the social media and put it everywhere and have celebs like David endorse it. Healthy pancakes, in this vegan no gluten trend. Everyone will buy this no doubt!
I ordered a bag of each flavor to check them out, and I was pleasantly surprised. So, Shark Tank, thank you for adding another longtime customer of Long Table. Will definitely order many more times!
What gets me is that sometimes the business is so advanced and profitable, that they will question the motives of the entrepreneur and kinda bash them for taking the opportunity away from a smaller business appearing on the show. Then, when a smaller business gets on, it's all "Sorry, it's not big enough for me yet. Pathetic sales, I'm out" What the hell do you want?
I was thinking the same thing. Help him solve problems = no more problems. If he's making for 3 dollars and selling for 11, that's 8 dollars profit per bag. 140,000 was the investment ask, so they literally just need to sell 20,000 units. How hard can that be once you get a good social media going? Pancakes and waffles are popular foods, and a healthy and tasty version could easily be appealing to health conscious and agricultural conscious minds.
My god they lost on investing on such a good product! So what if he sucks at social media, that's such an easy thing to change especially if you invest in hiring a marketing person with the investment or if he himself changes that habit. The product itself is amazing. Sometimes these sharks get caught on personality and small issues without thinking through potential of an amazing, amazing product. I hope this gets stocked on shelves very soon! Also massive respect for David! Damn he's a good person.
He's a hero for helping the guy with his pitch? While it was a nice thing for him to do considering he's not an investor and only a consumer of the product, I wouldn't exactly call him a hero.
I've never heard David speak outside of acting. In both friends and band of brothers which is where I've seen him he played a slightly whinny guy so it's funny to see he's actually a normal guy and obviously very nice.
The Sharks missed out what a great sounding product. I mean I live in Australia and I would totally buy this. Anyone of them could’ve given him help or shout out on social media and it would blow up. I hope I’m able to buy this in australia one day. Good luck to you and your wife. ❤ btw totally sweet of David to help out.
I can’t believe they didn’t even make an offer. You can always hire someone to do social media to push the brand. If the product is that good you’d think it would explode in sales. They’ll regret this one I think.
Discovered these pancakes at a local grocer. Immediately became a staple for me and my kids. Just finding out it was pitched on shark tank. Really great product and happy to see the story behind it. Hope it continues to do well.
Just the endorsement Kevin is giving him on the show alone is probably worth the 140K he's asking for in free publicity. He'll probably do more in sales in a month after this aires than what he says he's done per year.
This goes to show that you can try to have a circus like show during your pitch but actually doesnt sell the product, then bring in a great spokes person/actor behind you to back it up but if you as the owner suck at marketing and suck at selling then you get No Deal
This man already won in life because he found a loving and supportive wife.

True , so hard to find someone like that now these days

As mentioned they are there to earn the money and with only 20k earning per year they just did not see that happening in the near future.
really glad they included that quick but meaningful backstage moment between the couple at the very end.
what a busy presentation
Yeah, not enough business analysis, too much theatrics.
I’m not hating but the starting presentation was so unrelated to the product 😂
I thought the exact same thing. 😂
And thought "He just wanted to include his wife."
Yeah it was a wild ride beginning to end 😂
Kevin's face 🤣🤣
It was unnecessary
Thank you for that 😂
1:16 marks face after seeing the acrobat spin was too good 🤣🤣
I coulda lived without that, thanks
I noticed that! I was like, he is more interested in making an offer on your wife then your product rn. LOL
on me he said “damn” 🤣🤣🤣
Producers: “Please throw popcorn on the carpet. Not the floor. Easy clean up, okay?”
*misses carpet*
Actually I think that him not having social media makes it a huge opportunity for the sharks. They could counter 30-40% and make it work. They could get equity at a 250-500k valuation and sells it for 10M in 3 years
The whole point is that they could give him the social media.. lol
He needs to do that on his own accord.
umm. no. if they did that - ie being the entire reason he has sales - then they'd ask for a 80% stake lmfao. How can you be so moronic?
Anybody else cracked up at 1.39 when the sharks start applauding for the womans acrobatics and the guy says ‘thank you’ thinking it’s for his popcorn flower😂
😂😂
He's like "wow! That was easy!"
Man I hope he took their advice and put his product on social media when he is ready. I say “ when he’s ready” only because once an item ( most of the time) is on shark tank, the company’s sales usually go thru the roof. So if he doesn’t have the man power and product to sell on demand, then it could potentially hurt his business. Especially if it’s on back order.
Of course now I’m going to google the company to see where they are at now since this aired at least 6 months ago. I really hope this guy succeeds!
And that’s so awesome of David swimmer for helping him. He’s a wonderful man and does so many acts of kindness but doesn’t want or expect recognition for it. All he wants is to help who he can. Which makes him a wonderful “ friend”
Which is still till this day, my FAVORITE show! And I watch it every single night before bed. Because it’s on MAX, It’s been on repeat for years! It’s really the main reason why we still pay for that streaming service. Anywho, I’m rambling now lol
Good day!
Damn! He shouldn't have said I'm not a social media guy, just say we're getting about 10% customer base from social media, can easily hire someone to do social media with the investment
The sharks don't like to hear that. They don't like to hear that you're gonna use their money to hire people. They like to hear that you already have a successful operation with the rights numbers going and you need their money just to fulfill orders and get more orders
I thought he was going to follow that statement up with “so that’s why I need a Shark, to help me with these kind of things”
If all he needed is better social media, a Shark could've jumped in now for the low valuation. Both Mark and Kevin said he could easily blow this up by just telling his story, even more so with David Schwimmer and a Shark behind it.
Exactly! 15% for 140k?? That's not that much
David Schwimmer, please do a standup comedy special. You are funny!!!
Samuel you won from the second your wife floated down from the ceiling...and getting Schwimmer to endorse you, damn...that was slick.
Mark is spot on, however I feel there's a simple solution, change the brand to something that sounds delicious and more attractive and focus on the product. If the product is successful, then you can always expand to further building the mission aspect. You can always have a parent company that handles the mission, and the product company that makes money.
I believe Mark was also concerned about pricing. When you are mission driven, it's hard to push down the costs.
this was a good deal for him he will definitely get all the attention needed from this episode to start selling a lot.
I would 100 back this, all they have to do is market it, help him with the social media and put it everywhere and have celebs like David endorse it. Healthy pancakes, in this vegan no gluten trend. Everyone will buy this no doubt!
Hard for your mind not to go to a certain place when you see them doing the flips early on in the pitch.
I figured they have used their "skills" in other ways 😂😂😂
Maybe this is someone's brunch right now while watching this episode lol
I ordered a bag of each flavor to check them out, and I was pleasantly surprised. So, Shark Tank, thank you for adding another longtime customer of Long Table. Will definitely order many more times!
I think Schwimmer's appearance will help this product reach in social media
David schwimmer is nice guy that’s why I love him even though I don’t know him personally but I know him I hope 🤞 I meet someday
I'm glad he didn't get a deal but got the exposure for his fantastic product.
I genuinely loved everything about this presentation!
This was one of the best shark tank episodes I’ve seen
Wow watch a pitch. Soo much effort went into it and he is definitely a winner with a wife who dishes out such powerful words
What gets me is that sometimes the business is so advanced and profitable, that they will question the motives of the entrepreneur and kinda bash them for taking the opportunity away from a smaller business appearing on the show. Then, when a smaller business gets on, it's all "Sorry, it's not big enough for me yet. Pathetic sales, I'm out" What the hell do you want?
Focus is key in business. Linear story, linear vision, strategy. Social media is important. It’s arrogant to not have social media.
Gwynth eating anything with any type of flour is the most impressive part of this.
She was immediately hospitalized 😂
This guy has a dream marketing opportunity with a celebrity endorsement by David Schwimmer and the sharks all proclaiming it the best pancakes ever.
Why not invest in this guy and help him with social media. Seems like it would be so easy.
Cuz it ain't a good guarantee. I bet they're great if you have never had real pancakes or if you just hate pancakes
Gwen is one if the most hated arrogant celebs. Top hated if you look it up
His sales are really really low
I was thinking the same thing. Help him solve problems = no more problems. If he's making for 3 dollars and selling for 11, that's 8 dollars profit per bag. 140,000 was the investment ask, so they literally just need to sell 20,000 units. How hard can that be once you get a good social media going? Pancakes and waffles are popular foods, and a healthy and tasty version could easily be appealing to health conscious and agricultural conscious minds.
Love David even more now ❤
Ross has to open a pancake company to feed Joey 😂😂 3:23
That's Matthew's job
That's a good one 😂😂😂😂
When Ross told her "This is crazy I will explain" he is still naturally funny. 😂
11:20 you are already rich my man
My god they lost on investing on such a good product! So what if he sucks at social media, that's such an easy thing to change especially if you invest in hiring a marketing person with the investment or if he himself changes that habit. The product itself is amazing. Sometimes these sharks get caught on personality and small issues without thinking through potential of an amazing, amazing product. I hope this gets stocked on shelves very soon!
Also massive respect for David! Damn he's a good person.
If it was so good David would have invested himself. He had the $
4:17 thanks camera man 😁
Oof! Mama!
4:18 really nice shot of Lori
1:56 I thought he's gonna piledriver her 😂
And reversing to a tombstone
@@mohamedfauzibinmohamedjoha2328 Pulling the Orton/Undertaker tombstone reversal XD.
from selling falafel on the street of new york to pushing pancake cart to sharks, well done ROSS
I love everyone from friends! David is one of my favorites. It is good to see him!
The production cleanup crew. 👁👄👁
that pitch was just absolutey f***ing FLAWLESS 😭
Holy hell David Schwimmer is a literal hero. What a good guy.
He's a hero for helping the guy with his pitch? While it was a nice thing for him to do considering he's not an investor and only a consumer of the product, I wouldn't exactly call him a hero.
He’s such a great FRIEND
His product actually makes more sense than the other ones that are pitched on sharktank
With their reach and distribution, it could have been big.
with high price distribution is quite limited.
wow,,,all the best and so much love and respect for David Schwimmer to do this
In the next month he'll have $500,000 in sales thanks to the power of Shark Tank
I've never heard David speak outside of acting. In both friends and band of brothers which is where I've seen him he played a slightly whinny guy so it's funny to see he's actually a normal guy and obviously very nice.
No wonder Schwimmer put much effort and interest about the natural ingredients, I heard he used to work as a paleontologist in a museum.
The Sharks missed out what a great sounding product. I mean I live in Australia and I would totally buy this. Anyone of them could’ve given him help or shout out on social media and it would blow up. I hope I’m able to buy this in australia one day. Good luck to you and your wife. ❤ btw totally sweet of David to help out.
I can’t believe they didn’t even make an offer. You can always hire someone to do social media to push the brand. If the product is that good you’d think it would explode in sales. They’ll regret this one I think.
Seems like an awesome product, definitely trying one of these. Do they sell in Canada ?
Discovered these pancakes at a local grocer. Immediately became a staple for me and my kids. Just finding out it was pitched on shark tank. Really great product and happy to see the story behind it. Hope it continues to do well.
Wow…a great story and hope his business thrives
Man David should do a show. He’d be great on a sitcom
Barbara : These pancakes are the best I've ever had, and for that reason, I'm out! 😊
David Schwimmer would’ve been a perfect representative if the guy was selling sandwiches.
Seeing my childhood idol struggling sends shivers down my spine
Struggling how?
He is not struggling, he gets lots of royalties from Friends still. David is just a simple guy and he likes to be simple
Struggling? Lmao. David Schwimmer is loaded and richer than most of Hollywood. He'll be fine mate. 😂😂😂
Anyone else distracted the whole time from the popcorn on the floor? 😂
Well, for those who want an alternative from the usual pancake flour, this is a nice option, and I'll try it.
Bro took “Friends” literally.
Just the endorsement Kevin is giving him on the show alone is probably worth the 140K he's asking for in free publicity. He'll probably do more in sales in a month after this aires than what he says he's done per year.
I always liked David and now adore him 🥹
This goes to show that you can try to have a circus like show during your pitch but actually doesnt sell the product, then bring in a great spokes person/actor behind you to back it up but if you as the owner suck at marketing and suck at selling then you get No Deal
Can't people just make a plain pancake? Schwimmer seems like such a fantastic and humble dude. Right on!
Going from falafels to waffles is moving up in the world, good going David.
I got the Friends reference...when Rachel's sister thought he was the falafel vendor guy!
