There are lots of editions of Shark Tank and countries like America, Australia, India, Malta, Mexico, Vietnam, and Colombia have their iteration of it. Now, Nepal is about to have its version of Shark Tank named “Shark Tank Nepal”.
Many of us became aware of Shark Tank because of Shark Tank India and I guess most of us became hooked on the show ever since. It has drama, business talk, financial knowledge, and the most exciting negotiation part.
Unlike many other reality show that airs on Nepali channels, it is completely different and has a completely different feel to it because here you do not vote for anybody or judge somebody on their performance. To understand the show we need to understand the premise of the show. This show involves a panel of investors who are referred to as”sharks” and they are allowed to decide whether or not to invest in the idea and products that are put forward by entrepreneurs.
If you have watched any of the Shark Tank episodes from any country then you must know that Sharks are not easy people to play with. They are notorious for spotting flaws in an entrepreneur’s assessment of their firm, product, or business plan. As a participant, you need to come up with a business that is already generating revenue as well as seeking investment to scale up their business and pitch them about the possibilities of the company or product in the market. After that, you will be asked various questions related to your product. If they are satisfied with your business then you have the right to ask for an investment amount in exchange for a certain percentage of equity in your company.
More than one Shark can jump on to take a bite of your company and be careful when negotiating the equity percentage because Sharks are experts at doing this and they will try their best to make the decisions in their favor.
