Raising money for your start-up is difficult. There are few people that are willing to invest their money in someone else’s relatively-unproven business, but even if you have those people, fewer businesses have the right characteristics to be financed through an external capital raise.

The Shark Tank is actually a U.S.-spin off of popular British television show Dragons’ Den. Most of the academics said that Dragons’ Den and Shark Tank are useful educational tools. Part of the programs’ benefit comes from having a celebrity deliver a message.
