The clip includes a short demo, a confusing valuation exchange (speakers mention $5M vs $10M valuations), and an investor expressing doubt and exiting.

Speaker B: $5 million; Speaker A: $10 million (then offers it for $5 million)

We're seeking $1 million.
$1 million.
For 20% of our company. Hi, Sharks. I'm Jacob Strickling and this is my beautiful daughter Mickey. And we're inviting you to help spread the joy and wonder of science. The tiny science lab.
So underneath you've got a gas chamber there. And so to turn it on, we're just going to rotate it. We're going to get our tripod and our wire gauze. So let's put it on.
Do it quick up.
So you're seeking a million dollars.
Correct at 20.
20%. You're valuing this at $5 million.
No, I value it at $10 million. I'm offering it to you for $5 million. Oh, my God.
When you guys walked in and you started your presentation, I was like, extremely excited. With the right marketing, this is something that you can really, really explode. There is no sound justification of how you've arrived at your evaluation.
I'm out.
