Rejected Shark Tank Ideas That Ultimately Found Success

29. Victory Coffees

Victory Coffees is a coffee subscription service that appeared on Shark Tank during its eighth season. The business was started by former Navy Seal sniper Cade Courtley who found comfort in a cup of coffee during his deployments. The brand has a 1940s theme and a vintage logo.

Courtley asked for $250,000 for a 20 percent stake in the company. The Sharks were unsure of investing in a coffee company since the market was so competitive. They also believed he was too ambitious with how much he was trying to do with the subscription service. None of the Sharks offered him a deal. In the end, Victory Coffees is thriving, with excellent reviews and sales thanks to a publicity boost from Shark Tank.
