I love Shark Tank.
I've watched religiously for 10+ years & I think it gets a lot right.
1) Gives platform to early-stage founders
2) Strong intrigue with big names putting big $ to work
3) Good storytelling of entrepreneurs' backstories
4) Makes startups feel approachable

But Shark Tank also misses the mark in a few big ways:
1) Not being strategic with judges
2) Not adapting to cord-cutting
3) Not making the audience part of the show
4) Monetizing in multiple ways

Here's how I plan to dethrone the Shark:
Name: 60 Second Startup
Format: Bracket-style tournament between 16 all-star early stage startups
Distribution: TikTok, IG Reels, YT Shorts, Twitter, Linkedin
Prize: $100,000+ investment
But here's where things get interesting...

Each Season you see:
Round of 16: 60 second pitch (head to head)
Round of 8: Founder story pitch (head to head)
Round of 4: Product pitch (head to head)
Round of 2: Use of $ pitch (individual)
Total videos/season: 16
And here's where the audience gets involved...

And here's where the audience gets involved...
1) In head-to-head rounds, audience has 48 hours to vote. Startup with most votes moves on.
2) Audience has the opportunity to invest in the winning startup alongside judges via crowdfunding.
3) Audience can watch longer-form versions of episodes on YouTube.
