Abstract


This paper will be a research-oriented project studying what demographic factors are most important when competing for a deal on Shark Tank. Shark tank is an enormously popular ABC television show that has over 7.5 million viewers per week. This study will look at how active each shark is the volume of the transactions that they do individually, how many completed Deals they have been involved in and what their potential success rate is. Potential candidates for the show can use the data derived from this study as well as other potential transactions that will be priced based upon Shark Tank statistics.
