Shark Tank Plunge Update
- Entrepreneurs: Michael Garrett and Ryan Duey

- Ask: $1.2 million for 5% equity

Entrepreneurs Michael Garrett and Ryan Duey took the plunge together when they started their business, Plunge. Plunge is a series of cold plunge tubs that allow you to adjust your ice bath to the perfect temperature.
This wellness routine has many great benefits, which Michael and Ryan discuss at length during their presentation.
With clean, filtered water and no need to haul 40 pounds of ice back to your tub, Plunge presents the perfect solution for those looking for this type of therapy. Surprisingly, there is a large demand for this niche product.

After Barbara states her case, Robert Herjavec and Mark Cuban are the next to make offers.

Following this, Mark Cuban offers $1.2 million for 15% equity, with funding for all purchase orders included.
With so much interest from the sharks, Michael and Ryan have a tough choice to make.
Eventually, they make a counteroffer to Robert at 10% equity, but the lowest he will go is 12%. They agree to the terms, and as a result, they land a deal with Robert.
