Am I the only one who would gladly give 5% equity or 2% royalty to appear on shark tank for the promotional/sales opportunities generated from being on the show?
5% for one promotional opportunity that has no guarantee of working out, that you have no say about how you come off, isn't a good deal. There are other smarter ways to get exposure. and after the hoopla dies down, you are left with a large chunk of equity missing.
No, unless you're the only person who's ever been on the show.
