Why I Turned Down A Shark Tank Investment Deal To Start From Point Zero - OmeKitchen.com

Akshita Iyer, Founder & CEO

Before her product could hit the shelves, Akshita Iyer pitched it to investors on Shark Tank, impressing them and earning an investment offer. But she did not take the deal. "Even today, I would say that I'm glad I didn't take the deal because I did not know enough about business to use that capital efficiently," Akshita tells us on the podcast today.

After Shark Tank, Akshita started connecting with experienced Silicon Valley Founders to learn more about growing a start-up. Today, she has leveraged those lessons to build the Ome Smart Knob - the same product that attracted the offer - into a profitable and popular brand. It is this experience and more that Akshita shares with us on the show today. Join now to learn from her exciting and inspiring journey.

In today’s episode of the Harvest Growth Podcast, we’ll cover:

●      Why young founders should be obsessed with continuous education and finding willing mentors over other metrics.

●      Why products that facilitate existing consumer behavior, rather than altering it, are easier to sell and monetize.

●      Why consumer segmentation and targeting are crucial to marketing, sales and business growth.

●      How start-ups and small businesses can leverage big data to scale and increase market share.

●      And so much more!
