This show is pure mind-rot television. It's as accurate in portraying startups as The Real Housewives portrays real families, or The Hills portrays real friendships. If you have never worked in a startup before and you're looking to see what its like, you are being misled. And if you have worked at a startup before, this show comes off as entertaining at best. Personally, I really like SharkTank. While I've never had experience pitching an idea, the investors always give sound feedback and I enjoy the backstory and follow-ups that they do with the companies.
- pedalpete 14y agoGreat example using Shark Tank, which is also dramatized for TV. They take the most entertaining pitches, most people don't get a deal, because the show isn't about making deals, it's about selling entertainment. And the 'investors' are their for their image, not their deal flow.
