  Certainly -- but if someone owns a stake in your entity (however small) it's in their best interest to at least put things in a good light.

    No, it's in their best interest to make the show entertaining. Sometimes that means they make you look silly so you're the comic relief. They have the advantage of editing the show after the pitch so they can decide how valuable you are to them. They decide what they value more: equity in your company or making you look silly for the sake of the show.
