Story
In the Tank
MistoBox, a company that delivers amazing coffee from roasters across the country to your door, first appeared on Shark Tank in May of 2013. MistoBox originally started as a school project and upon graduation MistoBox co-founders Connor and Samantha soon found their way into Shark Tank.
Deal With Mark Cuban
Closing the deal couldn't have come more down to the wire. With the 20 second clock shot from Kevin O'leary counting down, Connor and Samantha struck a deal with Mark right at the buzzer: $75,000 for 30% of the company.

Q & A With Founders Connor and Sam
Sam and I ran with the bulls in Pamplona in 2010, and we both agree that going in the tank was wayyyy more terrifying. Once we got over the initial surge of nerves, it was actually pretty easy to talk to the sharks. They asked all the right questions, and luckily we had some right answers. Would I do it again? You better believe it!
Mark is really helpful. We touch base with him a few times a month, and he gives us great advice and feedback. He definitely doesn't sugar coat anything, but that's one thing we really appreciate about him.
Still no, but we have some serious co-founder love.
What hasn't changed? Our team has grown to six extraordinary individuals who all work remotely across the country. I'm actually working from Greece right now! We've been working hard every day since the show to continue making MistoBox the best coffee subscription out there, and I'm really proud of how far we've come.
Hands down it was the moment we struck a deal with Mark Cuban. We had gone into the tank knowing that we wanted to do a deal with Mark, and it meant so much to us that he believed in us and our startup.
It was so fun! We flew the whole team out to Santa Cruz, CA and got to film at Verve, one of our favorite roasters!
