See the full story of Pete Davidson asking for $500K on Shark Tank for his DoubleSoul socks.
Socks made a new name
Pete Davidson‘s new fun will be seen this time not on the mic, but in the tank of Shark Tank.
He introduced himself as the creative director of the sock brand DoubleSoul and extended his hand in front of the Sharks for 500 thousand dollars.
Not only this, but he was also offered a four percent share of the company.
On hearing this, Lori Greiner, Kevin O’Leary and Robert Herjavec had an expression like “No … this is really crazy”.
Laughter in the beginning, business later
Ben Rosenbaum, founder of DoubleSoul, first told Shark Tank that buying socks always felt like a compromise.
You take out 20 packs from the big bins of Foot Locker, but in reality, you don’t get anything special.
Davidson immediately added, “I get sent rubbish every day, I give them mostly to my cousins. But DoubleSoul caught me at first sight.”
Why is DoubleSoul special?
Rosenbaum said that they don’t make athletic socks and they don’t make novelty socks either.
They have created a perfect everyday sock by combining the best of both worlds.
Davidson said in his signature humor, “There are partnership requests with many brands, but slowly I realized that everyone needs socks.
This thing always comes to mind at the end, then a boring style or bargain socks from the gas station… After this, the class of DoubleSoul stood out.”
A glimpse of the Sharks’ curiosity
Rosenbaum and Davidson also gave some pairs to the Sharks to test.
ABC’s exclusive sneak peek showed that as soon as Kevin opened the first pack, he asked, “How is this Mashallah comfortable?”
While Kendra Scott and Rashaun Williams were also smiling after looking at the socks.
Stars also kept going crazy about Shark Tank
Pete Davidson is not the first celebrity of this season.
From Jimmy Kimmel, Seth MacFarlane, to Vinnie Pastore, everyone jumped into the Tank with their company.
The Gronkowski brothers pitched in front of the Sharks for IceShaker, Maria Shriver and Patrick Schwarzenegger pitched in front of the Sharks for MOSH protein bars.
What do they get in the deal?
Fans will need to tune in to ABC on September 24th at 10 pm to watch the first episode of Season 17.
They will find out how Pete and Ben’s Bold Ask the Sharks felt and if DoubleSoul will get 500K.
Get ready for an episode where laughs, style and business will mix!
