Thompson Tee, maker of an undershirt that prevents embarrassing sweat stains, was one of the veteran-owned businesses featured on Shark Tank in May 2017. After Thompson Tee founders Billy Thompson and Randy Choi pitched their sweat-proof technology and under-$25 shirts, investor Robert Herjavec offered them $700,000 as a loan at 18 percent interest. They accepted with a counteroffer. (Thompson and Choi went into the Tank looking for $700k in exchange for seven percent equity.)
