  • By Iris Dorbian, Contributor Quirky Sounding Or Unus
    Don't dismiss the unusual when it comes to picking deals 08 November 2013 | By Iris Dorbian, Contributor Quirky sounding or unusual companies that seem to deviate from the norm often times find backing—and some pay off big, too When John Frankel, founding partner at the New York-based venture firm ff Venture Capital, first heard about UniKey, developer of the Kevo app that lets smartphone users unlock doors, he was shocked, even incredulous that an LP would suggest he consider it for an investment. “I told him, ‘Are you kidding? It was on ‘Shark Tank,’“ he said, referring to the popular reality TV show in which aspiring entrepreneurs pitch their often peculiar products or wares to a panel of potential investors, including outspoken Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban. Phil Dumas, CEO and founder of UniKey, had appeared on an episode of the ABC program to promote his app. Dumas had engaged the interest of two of the five investors on the show’s panel, including Cuban and billionaire magnate Kevin O’Leary. But the deal fell through after the show taped in mid-2012. Still, the LP insisted to Frankel that he check out UniKey. Obliging him, out of respect, Frankel watched on Tivo the “Shark Tank” episode that featured Dumas. Soon skepticism gave way to admiration. He agreed with his LP. “I saw that it was a great company,” said Frankel, who prior to founding ff Venture Capital worked at Goldman Sachs for more than two decades. After getting in touch with Dumas, Frankel was confident he was making the right decision to invest.
