No Deal

Stress Free Kids



Stress Free Kids is a company from Marietta, GA, that wants to help children manage stress through a series of books and compact disks.[1]

These books and CDs are supposed to incorporate a stress management program kids can learn from. The books come from works that the entrepreneur previously wrote.

Stress Free Kids moved 30,000 units in the year before resulting in $180,000 in sales. None of the books are published through a traditional publisher because the entrepreneur has sold more on her own. Amazon has helped sell these books and is, in fact, the largest seller.

The entrepreneur invested $200,000 of their own.

This was enough to encourage Barbara to invest in the company but not enough for her to not ask for a very sharky amount of equity. With just $180,000 in sales, perhaps $1,250,000 was too much value to put on the company but after Barbara's bite of $750,000, the company was worth just $500,000.

Here's hoping it worked!

Updates

In a very short update in Episode 1.11, viewers were told that Stress Free Kids is, by then, selling nationwide in Borders Books.

Notes

  1. Similar to Classroom Jams, this is 2009 and Compact Disks are still a thing.
