The Sharks – tough, self-made, multi-millionaire and billionaire tycoons –
will give budding entrepreneurs the chance to make their dreams come true and
potentially secure business deals that could make them millionaires. They are:
billionaire
Mark Cuban, owner and chairman of AXS TV and
outspoken owner of the 2011 NBA championship Dallas Mavericks; real estate
mogul
Barbara Corcoran; “Queen of QVC”
Lori Greiner;
technology innovator
Robert Herjavec; fashion and branding
expert
Daymond John; and venture capitalist
Kevin
O’Leary.
The entrepreneurs who dare to enter the Tank must try to convince the Sharks
to part with their own hard-earned cash and give them the funding they
desperately need to turn their dreams into million dollar realities. But the
Sharks have a goal, too – to get a return on their investment and own a piece
of the next big business idea. When the Sharks hear an idea worth sinking their
teeth into, they’re more than ready to declare war and fight each other for a
piece of it.
“Shark Tank” received a 2012 Emmy nomination for Outstanding Reality
Program and was nominated for a Critics’ Choice Television
Award
for Best Reality Series.
Mark Burnett, Clay Newbill and Phil Gurin are the executive producers of
“Shark Tank,” which is based on the Japanese “Dragons' Den” format created by
Nippon Television Network Corporation. The series is produced by Sony Pictures
Television.
