Being on the TV show “Shark Tank” was a lot like pitching venture capital investors in Silicon Valley, said Charles Yim, founder and chief executive of iPhone breathalyzer maker Breathometer Inc.
“The only difference is all the lights and cameras, and you get your own trailer,” Mr. Yim said.
The Burlingame, Calif.-based company became the first startup ever to receive accolades and financial backing from all five “sharks” on the investing-themed ABC Television show when Mr. Yim pitched it in front of millions of TV viewers last month, he said.
