This TV show door lock pitch didn’t go at all according to plan

Alex Bertelli and Clay Banks of Haven Lock made TV history when they asked for half a million dollars for six per cent equity in their smart lock product, on season 10 of Shark Tank – which is the American version of Dragons’ Den.

Watch what happened in the classic clip.

That’s a special kind of humiliation right there.

Reddit users laughed and cringed at the same time, leaving comments like these –

Imagine you are trying to sleep at night.

Suddenly you hear a whisper outside the door.

Do the flying kick Alex.
