I watched this by accident last night on Dave! It is called Shark Tank – which is basically the US version of Dragons’ Den (which is originally from Japan).
Entrepreneurs go into the Shark Tank and pitch their ideas to the ‘Sharks’. I found it quite amusing, and the US show which was made by Mark Burnett (the creator of The Apprentice) also had 2 Dragons from the Canadian version of the hit show.
The episode I saw had a brilliant invention of a folding down guitar which didn’t have to be retuned. It was called the Voyage Air Guitar. It looked a fab product, but the Sharks wanted 51% of the business which the founder of the company, Jeff Cohen, wouldn’t part with.
It seemed a shame as the two Sharks involved had might. Canadian Shark Kevin O’Leary is a licensing guru who sold his last business for around $4 billion, and the other was one of the main men behind QVC the shopping channel.
I do hope the owner of Voyage Air Guitars doesn’t regret not selling his stake.
