The reality show that has become synonymous with a golden opportunity for entrepreneurs, from unusual ideas to promising businesses, the program is a true battlefield for those looking for investment. But is Shark Tank only successful?
Shark Tank is not just a TV show, it is a showcase for innovative businesses, entrepreneurs from all corners present their ideas to “sharks“, experienced investors, hoping to get that saving financial contribution. And it's no joke, no: the program has already generated billions in retail sales!
The Shark Tank effect, advertising is worth its weight in gold
Here's the cat's leap, really who can't get investment in the program you can win. Just by appearing on Shark Tank, people companies earn a national visibility which is worth its weight in gold. Stories of overcoming challenges and the chance to showcase the product in a unique way create a bond with the public that traditional advertising cannot achieve.
The truth is that not everything is rosy on Shark Tank, while some leave there with full pockets and booming businesses, others face the reverse path. Companies that were rejected from the program, such as Nopalera and the Rocketbook, became smash hits later. Ring, which is now a giant in smart locks, was ignored by the sharks and later bought by Amazon for 1 billion dollars!
