When the show came out it was really great! New original products, new companies, new ways of doing business and great concepts from people trying to get established in the business world.
NOW.....
It's just one hour long infomercial.
The applicants fall into 2 categories:
1) Marketing a pre existing product (most likely made over seas) that has a lot of sales, and they are on the show just for exposure.
2) A Service business, cooking, fast food, cleaning etc... that is already making bucks, and they just want to be on the show for exposure.
When is the last time you saw anything NEW or exciting on the show?
Where are the risky investments the Sharks used to do?
It's ALL safe and sound investments now, with no risk pre established companies from people that clearly don't need the money.
"We've made $ 480K this year, but want to hit 1.2 million." You hear that every week.
Who gives a fuck about somebody "struggling" at $ 480K a year. I wanna see the guy making $ 25K a year with a great new product that needs real exposure and an investment.
But not the Sharks. To get on the show you already need to making $1 M and show growth so they can rob you of 25% for the gift of being on the show. I swear some of these hard working business owners are real morons when the camera lights hit them. They walk out smiling, after losing 25% of their company like they won the lotto.
Sure there are a bucket full of success stories, coming out of the Tank, but I'd sure love to hear what happened to 90% of all the other losers that gave up their companies to these investors. I bet a large % are wiped out. It's so hard to make it in business and signing away 30, 40 or 50% of your business is insane.
These Sharks are really brilliant at what they do. I blame the business owners for being so stupid.
But, with that:
A BIG FUCK YOU! to Shark Tank for losing your balls for new innovations and new people that want to break into business.
oh, and Lori, BUY A NEW FUCKING DRESS! Every show she wears the same blue dress.
