The Umaro deal piqued the interest of Mark Cuban and Lori Greiner.
The notion of producing plant-based bacon made entirely of seaweed sounded appealing because it was also environmentally friendly. However, few investors went forward and signed the arrangement with Zotter & Stiles. However, there was a Shark Tank episode with two eager investors, Mark Cuban and Lori Greiner.
While both had arrangements proposed to the founders of Umaro. Only one of them was able to get the contract. Lori Greiner was open to working with Umaro on a 4 percent stock arrangement. Mark Cuban offered $1 million in exchange for 8% equity. However, both Zotter and Stiles walked into the programme with a deal in place for $500, 000 in exchange for 2% equity.
