This is so fun, entrepreneurs comming up with business ideas and meeting the sharks for opportunity. Also, these sharks, are so decisive when it gets to money issues, if they think the product seems feasible, they give good deals. i want to participate in this show too..so jealous. I think sawyer had the best deal out of all the competetents than the first business women. At first, i thought none of the sharks would invest in sawer. However,sawyer gave good reasons his business had potential and he had good intentions with his business the sharks started to get interested. I think sawyer overall got best deal at the end with Kevin, Robert and Robert giving 300 thousand giving up 51% of company was a great deal. Sawyer ended up getting 100 thousand dollar more than he expected.

I think it was a good idea that Sawyer pursued his problem and came up with a solution to help others. He also didn’t seem that fazed when asked critically about his business. Those people really do try to scare or intimidate the business market. They do a good job at cutting down all the fluffyness, and focus on the work needed to create a new business. This show truely is a shark tank.

Sawyer did a great job, overall shark tank is an okay show they add things and dramatize information that doesn’t need to be, the British version of the show Dragons Den is much better.

Wow that was funny and i am glad he didnt take the first offer. Hope to see it being made on a massive scale in the near future.

At first I was skeptical but after he expertly described his target market and how much he was able to sell already and then offers from play doh, I have to say that’s some good dough he’s got. Overall i think it was a good deal. He would get more than what he’d have gotten with the original play doh deal. And had the sharks not invested, it would have been pretty tough to expand the business with his limited resources anyway. Maybe he could have made more if he slowly built up a new dough company but his deal here may be as good as it gets

Such a simple idea yet brilliant idea coming from a fellow boiler. Credit to Sawyer. This gave me a reality check that its possible to actually do this and it gives me so much inspiration.

It’s a cruel but exciting real world! In the ‘funhouse’ part, the shark asked some common questions that all sharks concern about, like’how its gonna cost and how we make money’. It’s really a good question that any one want to swim in the marketplace will face straightforward. Anyway, the process of each part was full of uncertainty. And entrepreneurs who want money must feel that they are riding a rollercoaster. It’s an impressive show.

This is what is the reason why I like Entrepreneurs. They have to make decisions in few minutes which is very difficult. I am very proud to say that a person from Purdue has got 300 million dollars with 50% of stock, its really amazing. The way they analysed the situation and went through the process of negotiation impressed me a lot.

If he truly believe that is something he can make money off, 51% is too much. I do not know him personally, but if that is the only thing he had invented, he just gave up his only chip of negotiation. However, if he always have other product in his sleeve and is still the sole ownership, then sure, 51% of his first invention aint bad at all. All and all, I do not know this person. But if that is my only product, I WILL NOT give up my invention if I truly believe its the NEXT Big thing.
