TV show description:
A companion series to Shark Tank, this TV show focuses on what happens to the entrepreneurs and their businesses after they appeared on the show. In some cases, they received an investment from one or more of the Sharks and in other cases, they didn’t.
What lies in the aftermath of a Shark investment? Did a promising deal turn sour or launch a million dollar profit margin? After closer inspection of the business, did the Sharks or the entrepreneur back out of the deal?
Viewers are offered a look back at past Shark Tank pitches and deals to examine the highs and lows that can come from an appearance in the tank. The series revisits entrepreneurs whose businesses might be groundbreaking in terms of their technology, business model or branding. They may have taken their business to new heights with the help of the Sharks.
Or not. In some cases, the entrepreneurs and their Shark investors have gambled on their businesses and lost — in some cases these can be investments that multiple Sharks fought against each other to secure.
And what happened to the entrepreneurs that weren’t able to work out a business deal. Are they better or worse off after their appearance on the show?
