Hy-Conn
March 19, 2019
The Hy-Conn was invented by firefighters to connect fire hydrants easily and quickly. Mark Cuban loved the idea and felt it could save lives, so he invested $1.25 million dollars into the company. However, the deal did not work out. Licensing of the product became an issue, and according to Hy-Conn so did the shark that invested in them. The company said that the deal fell through because Mark’s ego got in the way and he tried changing the deal. Whatever the reason, the Shark Tank Hy-Conn deal was one of the worst.
