All of the investors backed out with the exception of Mark Cuban and Rob Herjavec. Herjavec made an offer for $50,000 for 20% equity, after initially backing down from the deal, but then Cuban swooped in and claimed his prize of $50,000 for 10%.
Thanks to Cuban, Chapul Flour is now seriously considering selling the FDA-approved cricket flour to competitors. The plan is to sell the flour at three times what it cost to make, and brand it with "Chapul Flour."
