00:00Welcome to the elevator.

00:04Hi, I'm Tasha, founder of Ice Leko and the inventor of our flagship product, the Pinsir

00:10Pal.

00:11My daughter's special needs sparked my journey, unveiling the vital role the Pinsir Grass

00:16plays in fine motor development.

00:19I'm seeking mentorship, $150,000 for 10% to make an impact with you, one pinch at a time.

00:29I love her.

00:30I agree.

00:31I loved her energy and her crisp pitch.

00:40I liked it.

00:41You guys are pushovers.

00:42I mean, come on.

00:43She's so good.

00:44I mean, she had some pizzazz, a little extra.

00:47She definitely nailed the pitch.

00:48I also love the fact that she wants to do well by doing good.

00:52I immediately discount the whole.

00:53Come on, Mark.

00:54I thought that was an incredible pitch.

00:57What was it missing?

00:58It was missing some sense of what, I don't want to know what the real market is for this

01:01thing.

01:02I mean, I don't know what it does.

01:03Maybe we find out more.

01:04I'm not sure.

01:05Just a pinch, Mark.

01:06Approved.

01:07First, you're a very compelling presenter, but you're, at least for me, you're pitching

01:14the wrong product.

01:15It's just too nichey.

01:17There's a lot of issues.

01:18It's very early.

01:19I mean, for me, despite how much I like you, I'm afraid that I'm not going to be able to

01:24help you.

01:25I'm afraid I'm out.

01:26Okay.

01:28I think your story is heartwarming, and I love the fact that you're doing well by doing

01:32good.

01:33It just feels a little nichey to me, and as an investor, I'm out.

01:37Honestly, I love what you've created, and there's a lot more things to figure out before

01:44you go out and get investment.

01:46And so, although I unfortunately am going to pass, I'd personally be happy to mentor

01:52you on your journey.

01:54Thank you so much, Ken.

01:55Thank you, Tasha.

01:56Good luck.
