In case you’re unfamiliar with the series,Shark Tankis all about would-be small business entrepreneurs pitching their million-dollar ideas to a panel of experts to get the funding required to pursue their dreams. Sometimes they present sound, strategic plans and win millions for their efforts, but not always. At times, the business ideas are so ludicrous and guaranteed to fail that they get a healthy dose of tough love and savvy business advice from the guest hosts.
