NASHVILLE BUSINESS OWNER JEFF COHEN FEATURED
ON ABC's “SHARK
TANK” TURNS DOWN $.5 MILLION FROM THE SHARKS!
Nashville’s Savannah Music Group and Voyage-Air Guitar CEO, Jeff Cohen,
appeared on the ABC Network TV show “Shark Tank” Sunday, August 23rd -
Nashville, TN - Livermore, CA (08-31-09) - Jeff Cohen, CEO of Voyage-Air
Guitar, was featured Sunday on ABC's new prime-time reality television
show "Shark Tank." From Mark Burnett (executive producer of "Survivor" and
"The Apprentice") and Sony Pictures Television comes "Shark Tank," an
exciting new reality show that gives entrepreneurs the chance to make
their business dreams come true and become successful and possibly
wealthy. But the entrepreneurs must first try to convince five tough,
multi-millionaire tycoons to part with their own hard-earned cash and give
them the funding they need to jump-start their ideas. These savvy
multi-millionaire investors witnessed the extraordinary Voyage-Air folding
guitar "LIVE" on Network TV for the first time last Sunday night, while
CEO Jeff Cohen revealed the features and benefits of the Voyage-Air in
front of an estimated 20 Million viewers!
The last entrepreneur of the evening to make the long walk into the Shark
Tank was serial entrepreneur Jeff Cohen, accompanied by his son Josh, to
solicit $500,000 for 5% of Voyage-Air Guitar. After choking on these
numbers, the Sharks perked up when they saw what the guitar could do: fold
in half and fit into a backpack for travel. Cohen, CEO of the company that
owns the patent, soon tangled with the Sharks over the company's estimated
value. While Cohen stood firm on a value of ten million dollars, the
Sharks were doubtful. Soon one of the Sharks bit: Cohen was offered a half
million dollars by Kevin O'Leary for 51% of a new company that the two
would create to acquire the hinge patents with one stipulation: that the
new company license the hinge to other guitar companies. When Cohen asked
point blank why he needed O'Leary's help licensing the hinge, O'Leary was
quick to answer. "The company that I sold for $3.2 billion was all
licenses," he said. Cohen stuttered, ".....Did... did you say 3.2 billion
with a 'B' ?" O'Leary didn't blink: "YES I DID." Neither did Cohen.....as
he confidently declined the offer. O'Leary fumed, "You're dead to me when
you say 'no' to my deal." Even when Shark Kevin Harrington offered to come
in as a dominant partner, estimating sales upwards of tens of millions of
dollars, Cohen passed. With that, Jeff and his son, Josh, were gone. The
last statement by Harrington defined the absolute value of Voyage-Air
Guitar when he said "Voyage-Air Guitar could be a hundred million dollars
on TV."
ABC’s Shark Tank episode with Jeff Cohen and the Voyage-Air Guitar created
the highest viewer ship yet as reported by Nielson ratings.
