The answer to this question has got to be a resounding “yes!” If anyone hasn’t seen this show yet, I highly suggest that you check out ABC on Tuesday nights at 8:00pm. Shark Tank is a show where entrepreneurs of all shapes and sizes come before a group of wealthy investors (each who has a great back story of their own) to ask for equity investments in their companies.
I think that one of the reasons why I like the show is because one of my job functions is to do the same thing that the sharks are doing, but with socially responsible/minded entrepreneurs. My company frequently receives phone calls from folks looking to start day care centers or affordable housing groups or open community facilities. These people generally want grant funding or an equity investment in their idea. Unfortunately, my company does not dole out grants nor do we make equity investments any more. But all of the questions that the sharks are asking on Shark Tank are very reminiscent of the questions that we ask the potential customers.
Here’s the show’s preseason video showing you what the entire concept is about – check it out, I think you’ll enjoy it!
This show is great – give it a shot!
Really a fantastic show! Stripped down from all the bells and whistles of today’s reality shows, this series features a true and raw perspective into the minds of some of the brightest entrepreneurs and the investors who stake themselves in them.
Who is this? I haven’t heard from anyone by the name of Justin or Jacob or Spades in ages… Welcome to JerseySmarts.com!
And yes, Shark Tank is a fantastic show! It has quickly become one of my favorite shows on television.
Still waiting for an entry about the NJ feud with Conan…
Maybe Yes or maybe not… but for me, it’s the most sensible reality show ever existed. There are alot of reality show but this one is different.. it’s like boosting the entrepreneur spirit in all of us. It gives the viewers free marketing advice, tips and the courage to show their inventions and ideas.
