He is absolutely right. Shark Tank is a show. Startup is a business. If you are in showbiz and looking for fun you should go there. Otherwise focus on customers

- sharemywin 11y agoCompletely disagree. 90% of the companies on shark tank would be completely un-fundable through any other process including YC. Can't see how sponge-daddy would have ever made it into YC yet alone been successful had they even went through YC. And I doubt airBNB would have worked with Shark Tank. 2 completely different worlds. Both doing very good things for entrepreneurs.
- pedalpete 11y agoAs I'm reading it, you and pashakym are making the same argument. Not sure why they are getting down voted.
- sharemywin 11y ago"If you are in showbiz and looking for fun you should go there." Makes it sounds like the businesses on shark tank aren't real businesses. I would argue that any business were you made out better then if you worked for someone else is a win.
- pashakym 11y agoI`m not sure what % of companies go there for funding and what % go there for fun and show. If you want $ for funding and you have something to show you have much better chances through private meetings with investors.
