what a joke! no self respecting entrepreneur would EVER agree to give up 2% of net revenues – in perpetuity! 2% equity, maybe. and no investor would ever touch a deal where the dolt agreed to such a terrible structure.
mark burnett’s greed has tainted his reasoning: by making such preposterous demands, he’ll only get losers on the show . . . and so it will be a flop – who wants to watch desperate entrepreneurs pitch silly ideas?
‘dragons den’ contestants didn’t have to give up a rev %
Maybe you should speak for yourself. In today’s economy where small business are struggling, I will give up 2% net revenue for a chance for millions of Americans to see my product or service. I would rather have a smaller stake in something big than all of something small. The sharks are not just investing their money but their expertise.
I was at sheraton hotel for the shark tank interview on Jun 11, and from there i don’t know what i’m supposed to do, I was toll they will call me in 30 has not happen, still waiting for that call i have a nice invention. if only can get marks phone number so i can call them. you think sombody can give me the number?
How can this be any worse than the dozens of other mind numbing reality shows already on TV? At least this one can help people who are really serious about their invention and give them hope that they can make money at it. I found it interesting, and even funny.
Looking forward to meeting the Sharks!
Thank you. This was very helpful in preparing for the audition.

Anyone know how to apply or audition?
Wow! This looks like a great show. I can’t wait to see it just so I can get some insight on how the “sharks” think.
I have a product idea. How is the best possible way to pitch the idea to get an audition or a call from the producers.
