"Shark Tank...."

bucsfan67 · Aug 23, 2009

Anyone else watch this show?

I was worried the 1st week that it might not take off, cuz it moves kinda slow.....but i have to admit I have tuned in each week, and find it very interesting.....maybe its my business background, or dream to always be an entrepeneur, but i think its fun to watch..

some of these people are so prepared, and have really given their all to make their dream come true....While others come in on a wing and a prayer, jsut looking for a loan.....

They can learn alot by listening to this panel, of people who have made BILLIONS off of their own businesses, and investments....

if u havent seen this show, u might want to check it out.....Its interesting

This is becoming one of my favorite shows on tv. I was a little surprised at this weeks episode when the guy who invented the guitars that fold didn't team up with the tv commercial shark.

Dragons den was a Canadian show ... actually two of the guys on the show were from the Canadian version .. the bald guy Kevin and that Robert guy

Dragon's Den or something similar to this format is/has been everywhere. Apparently Japan had the first version back in 2001-2004 according to wikipedia.

the "Sharks" were not biting last night......

except for the guys with the website for therapy help...once they stated they had a deal in the works with Aetna, then the sharks smelled blood.....

Was funny when the lady warned the guys of the "change" in the deal after the sharks went from 50% to 51% when they repeated the deal.....

was surprised that they took the 51% deal, when the other guy offerend them 50/50 and 50% more money...

They really thought the other 2 guys could help build their product......

This show is one of my favorite shows right now on TV. I would have to say even though them guys mentioned Aetna. I really believe that is very wishful thinking. Also there is definitely some kind of deal behind the scenes that we didn't see that if Aetna or another insurance company does not pick up the site then the sharks wont deliver the money.

On another note. I thought the one shark was a complete dick to the Granola bar guy.

Probably the one shark is is all about the money. He is pretty funny sometimes, stuff like "You are making a huge mistake not taking this deal..I won't know who you are in 5 seconds"

Pretty good show... I enjoy it. People are nuts trying to sell 10-15% stake for big money when they have sold some tiny amount of product in several years

Shark Tank tonight.... I am very excited to say the least.

Dwight_Schrute · Sep 13, 2009

bucsfan67 · Sep 13, 2009

glad u reminded me boxer, i had forgot with foots and tennis being on...

Big Brother is basically a waste tonight, not part of the actual game, so shark will be fun to check out during commericals of the NFL..

bigtendominator · Sep 13, 2009

Thanks for bringing this thread up again. I always miss this program because of Baseball and now Football.

No problem. Is it me or does Daymond John never invest into a company.

bucsfan67 · Sep 14, 2009

im glad the lady joined in with the guys and the spice rub last night....they seemed like nice guys, and it wasnt a huge investment, they might just take off with that stuff....people love bbq....

if they get the right kind of marketing deal, it could be big

I agree it was only a 50k investment and she received a 50% share of the company. Also the two guys said that they had 100k that they were ready to dump into the company. Hopefully all works out well with them. I am happy to see that the pie guy is going good. Hopefully they continue to report on past entrepreneurs.
