Candi provides a unique opportunity to meet personally with your favorite celebrity for five minutes. Each star sets their own rate, and Candi keeps 25% of the profits.
It’s an engaging way for fans to have an actual conversation with influencers, celebrity chefs, musical artists, and more.
Keithan and Quiante started their business with no connections or experience in Hollywood. Even so, they managed to get celebrities and influencers signed up to use the platform within the first week.
After Candi launched in 2020, they made $100,000 in total sales. Since then, they have hustled to create a lucrative platform.
Going into more detail about the business, the entrepreneurs say they want to use the $500,000 investment to develop an app and increase marketing.
They feel like creating a mobile app will allow their business to grow rapidly, as using apps has become increasingly popular over the past few years.
Kevin Hart is obviously concerned about the talent aspect. He says things like this have existed before, and that they can’t solely rely on celebrity personalities to market the business.

Kevin O’Leary has no desire to give up $500,000 for an unproven model. Therefore, he’s out, too.
Lastly, Barbara Corcoran and Lori Greiner both state that the entrepreneurs are asking far too much. So, both go out.
Unfortunately, with no sharks left Keithan and Quiante Hendrick walk away without a deal.
