Braxton Fleming, founder of Stealth Bros & Co walked into the tank seeking an investment of $200K for a 15% equity in his Dopp kits brand. Inspired by his own journey of struggling to safely store and carry his hormone therapy injections discretely and also dispose of the used needles, Braxton decided to launch Stealth Bros & Co While there are several Dopp kits brands already on the market, what sets the Stealth Bros & Co's kits apart are the stylish and trendy designs if the kits that calm and comforts its customers from the daunting task of giving themselves injections. While Lori Greiner, Robert Herjavec, and Kevin O'Leary decided to sit out from making the deal for various reasons ranging from the current size of the company to Braxton not really needing a partner, Barbara, on the other hand, instantly connected with the story behind the pitch.

The real-estate mogul recounted her own journey with fertility treatment and how she struggled with storing the injections and safely disposing of them while she was out and about. So, Barbara decided to make an offer but instead of giving Braxton the $200K he came in seeking for investment, the Shark made the offer of investing $100K and extending another $100K as a line of credit for 20% equity in the brand. By then Mark too was moved by Braxton and Barbara's sorry and decided he wanted a piece of the action as well. So he joined hands with Barbara to invest his money into the "good cause" and stuck to Barbara's initial offer. After some consideration, Braxton accepted the offer and left the tank feeling emotional about closing the deal with not one but two Sharks.

'Shark Tank' fans too were moved by not only the pitch but also the generosity of the Sharks, who decided to take a huge risk by investing in the business. Guest Shark Daniel Lubetzky tweeted, "It feels tough to justify investing in Stealth Bros & Co. as the niche solution is hard to scale and you are competing with broader use packs.
