What is Shark Tank?
Shark Tank is a very popular reality show that has been adopted in many countries including the USA, UK, Australia etc. Not just budding entrepreneurs but even casual audiences like to watch the different business ideas, and how sharks fight for a deal.
The premise of Shark Tank is to get entrepreneurs in front of investors to pitch their business ideas. Entrepreneurs first present their business, and then investors ask some questions about the business operations, profits, and prospects.
If the investors (who are called Sharks) like the idea, they offer money to invest in the company. In return, they ask for a stake (shares) in the business. The negotiation happens and Sharks may fight to close the deal.
This way, the entrepreneur gets some money to grow the business as well as mentorship from the investor. Also, businesses get free publicity on national television.
These types of deals happen all the time in the startup world. But the unique thing about Shark Tank is that even small businesses can come on the show, who might not be privileged to get in front of these big investors.
There are so many good products pitched on the show till now. You can some amazing Shark Tank India products on Amazon also.
