Shark Tank Founders 😶

There is so much negativity around startups right now due to the market cycle since 1.5 years and because of a few bad names but I think overall startups have created massive opportunities in terms of wealth creation, up skilling and giving major breaks to people to learn faster. I think this is largely a founder driven issue as they simply want to be cool and startup for the sake of it but I’ve also seen founders that are committed and passionate however is getting difficult to recognize them and find companies actually building a good product that is solving good problem statement AND not get toxic culture. Can people share some examples in the last 5 years of such founders/startups so we can discuss them more and get some positivity on this platform?

Any products that you use regularly and saw it first on Shark Tank?

I know Skippi and Sunfox technologies have been very successful from season 1 . From latest season , Nasher Miles seems to be a great one . All other D2C brands seems to me staying for maximum 5yrs . Let me know which ones you think or know have gone big and which ones failed ?

Are Indian sharks (just like the US ones) bad examples or mid examples of what true entrepreneurship is? Like the best line up would not be of people from 2000 doing a matrimony portal or a loss making Chinese whitelabelled headphone company or a company inherited from daddy? Deepinder from Zomato, guy from Swiggy, Ritesh from Oyo, Kamath brothers, Vijay Shekhar Sharma, Bhavesh Agarwal these are few of the best we could have. I guess they are too busy doing important things. Thoughts?

I have always Wondered why people started praising Ashneer just because he was roasting the entrepreneur's startups? He has a Odd Lot mentality or a reverse physchology to give negative opinions in each and every startup. A Good Business man is the one who can sell anything , Obviously there are a lot of scope of improvement. Few startups which were humiliated by him are literally doing well without any modifications into their products. Simply, he was pretending to be cool by making reverse statements or roasting those startups. Probably the reason why he was sacked out from his startup 😁 Lol

Apart from the good news that Namita is out, what are your thoughts on this step?

After Shark Tank, we have seen Indian Angels and StartAb but I believe the actual problem is still not being solved. Tbh, more than 90% of companies shown in these TV shows are more like businesses rather than startups with not so unique MOAT or tech platforms. Moreover, they are about funding businesses that are already revenue generating and negotiating equity deals with half of the show time is all about equity negotiations only. Still there are many with some unique ideas in tech landscape who are in search of Tech Co-founders to build the platform and many couldn't find one resulting in not starting their startup. What are your thoughts on a new show completely for Aspiring Entrepreneurs with unique ideas in tech with no revenue or product most for ones seeking help in building product/tech and stories where even an investment of Rs. 1 lakh can bring a big difference bcz even without that 1 lakh they could have never turned that idea into MVP and start that journey
