Start-up Sharks B Shark C Shark D

Hello Sharks. My name is A, co-founder of


IncrEDIBLE Eats and I’m from Planet Earth.
I’m here to share 7% of equity of our
incredible company for five hundred
thousand dollars ($500.000).
Sharks, across the world a staggering amount
of people are eating their food with single-use
plastic utensils.
But why do we use something just for few
minutes if it's gonna take hundreds of years to
decompose?
Sharks, that's the moment on the lips, but a
lifetime in a landfill.
That's why we came up with incrEDBILE Woww Wowww Wowww
cutlery, the world's first mass
manufacturable, totally edible utensils.
Well sharks, now you may eat your spoon, eat
your straw, eat your spork and even eat your
chopsticks.
Need i say more?
My question is not who wants to invest in us
but who would like to join us, to save the
planet one straw or one spoon at a time.
Okay, Sharks, please try all our cutlery in What are we eating here? Who cares? I’m gonna eat a A, how long does it take for it

spicy. I would actually want to
buy and eat these… not even as
utensil.
Then this one was in ice cream,
and this one has a vanilla
flavor and it tastes like a waffle
cone.
So this is delicious.
That's a straw. And what's the flavor?

It's actually flavorless. So you are concerned about the


flavor of these inaddition to
their functionality.

So our concept is to keep them subtle, Right What does it cost for you to

that's where the heaviest usage of plastic is,
and they wanted it to be very subtle not too
overbearing because they don't want to
change the food you eat with.
