I’ve done lots of startup pitch events in my career. But nothing prepared me for what happened a couple months ago. That’s when I lived my own real “Shark Tank.”
Once upon a time, pitch events were a pretty obscure activity. But in recent years, they’ve been popularized on the TV show Shark Tank. That’s where startups present their business ideas to a panel of sharky (and usually snarky) judges. In the past, I’ve usually been on the judging side, as an investor or mentor. For instance, I was a panel moderator for the World Cup Tech Challenge startup competition hosted by SVForum last month.
