Shark Tank Sets A Terrible Standard For Real Entrepreneurs

Shark Tank is one of the most popular business shows in the world. Watching entrepreneurs trying to take their startups to the next level on a weekly basis is truly quite inspiring. However, Shark Tank shouldn’t be taken more seriously than that. While the show is great for entertainment, inspiration, and motivation, the show is not that great for real business advice or venture capital. First of all, no one on the show is actually there to make a deal. Almost everyone is just trying to promote their own brand image to you the viewer because that’s where the real money is made. Also, the lifestyles that are shown on Shark Tank are usually completely fabricated and fake. With Chris Sacca, for example, they staged his entire Shark Reel and life is really not that different from any of ours in reality. Also, the vast majority of businesses that show up on Shark Tank are product-oriented businesses. Nowadays the vast majority of successful startups usually deal with tech and backend services, but we rarely see such businesses on the show. This video explains the shortfalls of Shark Tank and why the show shouldn’t be taken more seriously than just entertainment.
