Breaking down Kevin Hart’s investments
One company Kevin Hart showed a huge interest in on Shark Tank was The Transformation Factory, which sells edible sea moss gel that can be beneficial for one’s health.
Hart, along with fellow shark Mark Cuban, offered company founder Alexiou Gibson $600k for a 20% stake, which Gibson happily accepted.
During negotiations, Hart told the founder: “I truly do believe that there’s a significant value in which you have here, and I do honestly believe in your growth potential, and also you as a business person.”
However, Hart admitted to already having tried the product before the show due to its growing popularity on social media.
Following the episode premiere, there was an increase in product sales, and The Palm Beach Post reported that Gibson is hoping their investment will help bring the product to retail stores.
