Daymond was next to mention that he did not have the problem that Mary was trying to solve and Kevin Harrington became upset after hearing Mary had not spoken to anyone about selling the product. As one would learn in future episodes, using this as a reason to invest always upset the Sharks, including Robert in this episode, as it would never explain how one would capture any percent of the market. Robert asked her why the idea “wasn’t the worst” he’d ever seen and Mary tried to defend it by the amount of laptops that would be sold that year. Mary tried to defend her price point by surveys she had done, but Kevin O’Leary still went out stating that there were so many bad things about the product. After hearing the price would be $9.50, Kevin O’Leary became even more upset feeling no one would pay that. He then teased Mary saying she should keep this idea a secret as Mary mentioned she had no sales. Mary demonstrated that the holder would slide into a laptop when closed and Kevin O’Leary joked about how that would justify the valuation. Mary began demonstrating the product by attaching it a computer, but right after Kevin O’Leary asked her why this idea had a $500,000 valuation. Mary entered the tank seeing $100,000 for %20. She invested $1,000 in her idea and went into the Tank in season one hoping to get a patent and her product to market. Mary had no sales before entering the tank, similar to many entrepreneurs from the first season. Mary knew sticky notes would get lost and were unorganized when attached to a computer so she created a product that would attach to the side of the computer so the sticky notes would stay there. The Sticky Note Holder was created by Mary Simonson.
