UNSTOP Talk of raising the stakes, Unstop truly raised the stakes for entrepreneurs in this season of Shark Tank. Founded by Ankit Agarwal in 2017 with the name Dare2compete, the company was
rebranded in May 2022 as UNSTOP. Unstop is an Early Talent Engagement & Hiring Platform. It connects STUDENTS across domains to a world of opportunities across the GLOBE. The original
ask of investment by UNSTOP’s CEO was Rs. 1 crore in exchange for 1% equity. It was the first time in the history of Shark Tank that a Shark had offered an amount as high as Rs. 5 crore to a
start-up. CarDekho’s Amit Jain offered Rs. 5 crores for 10% equity but UNSTOP’s CEO had a better deal coming his way. After a series of negotiations with all sharks, UNSTOP went away with
an investment of Rs. 2 crore for 4% equity, split equally among Amit, Anupam, Aman, and Namita.
