Background and an Invitation to the “Piranha Pen”

Imagine that you have developed a new dog leash and harness called “2Chainz”. The product features unique double helix, chain like structure made out of nylon that helps prevent dogs from pulling their owner during walks.

You also recently received an invitation to present “2Chainz” on an episode of a television show called “Piranha Pen”. The show gives entrepreneurs the opportunity to pitch their products to a panel of wealthy businesspeople (aka“ Piranhas”) in the hopes of landing an investment deal. The Piranhas are known to be savvy negotiators and are famous for asking tough questions and having high standards before making an investment. Therefore, it is critical that you be well-prepared. In preparation for the show, you pull together the following data from a variety of sources.

Market Research Data

You paid a market research firm to conduct a nationally representative survey of 700 dog owners during which they were shown a 2Chainz prototype and asked how likely they would be to purchase it. Approximately 30% of those surveyed indicated that they would purchase the product from a retail store at your planned price of $40.

Dog Behavior Survey

The survey suggests that pulling on a leash is one of the most commonly reported behavioral problems reported by dog owners, with about 60%of dog owners nationwide reporting that pulling on a leash is a problem they have experienced. Out of these dog owners that report leash pulling, 33% report that they have not yet to found a solution to this problem.
