been watching shark tank off and on for a few seasons, love it!
always wondered why it didn't provoke much discussion in Silicon Valley... at least that I was aware of. most of my friends don't even know about the show. Until now at least :)
What's been most interesting are the types of companies and the investor perspectives that seem to vary enough from what you hear about here in Silicon Valley that it makes you think...
The bar for positive reactions from the sharks is definitely to have "traction" in terms of real revenue/sales... going in front of them and saying you have thousands or millions of users probably won't cut it (except maybe with Cuban) but who knows, haven't seen that sort of company present yet...
on one of the past seasons, there was a Silicon Valley type startup that got acquired by Chegg in 2011 called NoteHall
