So, honestly, what do "good investments" look like then?
If anything I think the only problem with shark tank's portrayal of investments is it that it doesn't explain to the audience that it's wide viewership is the largest return for most of the founders on the show. Every founder who goes on the show knows this, but it's the "dirty little secret" that the audience isn't aware of.
- Larrikin 9y agoI think they have become a little bit better with letting the viewer know this. Cuban fought fairly publicly to retroactively void a term in the first few seasons of Shark Tank where even without an investment from the sharks ABC got a percentage of the company. They also call out pitches where the person has ridiculous terms and is obviously just trying to advertise for free.
