10. Echo Valley Meats
Dave Alawan deserved a place on our list of most successful Shark Tank rejects because he was the owner of a fresh meat company, and sought $300,000 for a 20% stake in his business. While the sharks loved the product, they criticized Dave for not having a clear plan and this led to him exiting the show without a deal. However, he worked hard and his business grew significantly, after which he returned to the show once again, this time managing to secure $125,000 for a 25 percent stake.
