The pitch

What walked into the Den

Hyper Acai, the frozen acai and sorbet brand from Fernando Xavier and Raquell Silva of London, Ontario, appeared in season 20, episode 9.

Came in at $150,000 for 15 percent, putting the whole line at roughly $1,000,000.

After the show

What happened next

Setting aside the missing outcome, this is what the current record supports.

The brand runs on a wholesale and foodservice model rather than direct online sales. In July 2026 its site read as a B2B platform with quote requests, free samples, soft-serve machines and a store locator, so the right way to describe availability is through retail and foodservice partners, not a buy-now shop.

Our read

The Hub verdict

The ask is grounded, a mid-six-figure raise for a fifteenth of the company at a million-dollar valuation, but the more useful detail is the business model. This is a wholesale and foodservice brand, not a direct-to-consumer shop, which changes how availability should even be described.

No outcome was ever broadcast, so we assert no deal. The site reads as a wholesale operation, built around quotes, samples and a store locator rather than a shopping cart, which is exactly the shape of a brand that sells through partners. The missing buy-now button is the model at work, not a shutdown, and it tells us nothing about the pitch result.

A wholesale-model brand, priced at a million, outcome not aired.

Worth knowing: A wholesale-first business will not show a consumer checkout, so the absence of one here reflects the model, not a shutdown, and says nothing about the pitch result.
