Samantha Coxe's business idea came from a relatable experience: lying to her dentist about flossing regularly.
Coxe sought $250,000 for 5% of her company, which brought in "about $900,000 in sales" over the 12 months prior to filming, she said.
The show's investor judges tried out the Flaus flosser, calling it "cool" and complimenting its peppermint flavor — but they wanted to learn more about the numbers.
It costs us about $10 to make," Coxe told them.
Right now, it's built for adults — but Coxe said a version for kids is "the next product we're coming out with."
