Shark Tank wrapped up its fifth season Friday. The ABC reality series is a made-for-television glimpse into the high stakes world of venture capitalism. On the show, small business entrepreneurs can get an investment into their companies, often at a hefty price.
That hefty price might be a significant stake in the company, a royalty on sales, a loan, or another creative scheme negotiated under the heat of set lights and the prying eyes of television cameras. The deal becomes final after a due diligence process that happens off-camera, according to Success magazine — and some deals never actually close.
