Definitely! Shark Tank is awesome! After each episode you just wanna go out get your "Gordon Geiko". Well maybe not that extreme, but it's great to see the ingenuity from the entrepreneurs.
I wonder what percentage ownership the dude coughing up the money gets and how much say in the business he gets. Would be interesting to find out if the original owners of these companies eventually get pushed out and someone else takes over because the investor doesn't like how the business is being run.
