Are these guys making money now? "Venture" featured them a couple years back and they had a very rough start. It was two guys from Winnipeg.
For all you non canadaians, "Venture" is a tv show in Canada that follows entrpreneurs around for a few months. They usually pick failing businesses or guys just starting out to feature cuz it's more interesting to see someone fight to get their business to succeed.
If I remember right these guys had a lot of trouble getting the pots made (standard manufacturing bullshit), they'd made a huge order and they had a bunch of investors pull out at the last minute (typical).
I could be wrong but I think the show ended with them finding an Angel investor willing to cover what they needed to get started, but he wanted a HUGE cut of the entire business. They didn't want to do the deal and the show ended before they made up their minds.
The question still remains: Are the inventors making any money... or did they take the deal?
I love "Venture" it always shows some idiot thinking he's going to make an easy fortune with an invention or an idea and finding out it's a lot harder to make a buck than he ever imagined.
