[The word 'roach' is used to address candidates by one of the sharks.\]
Where can you learn about investing in a business and terms like valuation and equity ? Where can you watch perfectly good inventors being thrown out in tears and two geniuses get tens of thousands of dollars for selling potatoes with hand written messages ? ! Where can you watch sharks in tears as they listen to the life struggle of a candidate or dance in circles when their offer is accepted ? It is SHARK TANK, the popular show on CNBC where you can see Sharks invest half a million dollars in exchange for 10% of a company and gobble 60% of another candidate's company who is seeking only hundred thousand.
The show is hosted by five or so billionaires , who throw out candidates in unison but then insult each other like kids as they fight over whose offer is better for the potentially profitable idea presented by one of the candidates! In one show the billionaire Sir Richard Branson, playing a SHARK, empties a glass of water on the face of another SHARK who annoyingly keeps interrupting him.
Yet, the show is educational because one gets to see the process of selling part of a business/ innovative idea in living color rather than reading about it in a magazine. Some inventions presented are new and amazing while others are a new twist on an old idea.
