Wayback Wednesday – Learnings from “the Grandfather of SharkTank” – Yahoo on MoneyHunt

It’s true, at one time I hosted a show where entrepreneurs came on to pitch their ideas and we grilled them with questions and ultimately rewarded them with investments.

Welcome to MoneyHunt.

Not every deal on TV got done in real life (for reference, Sharktank’s fill rate on investments vs. offers hovers at 23% – Forbes 2016). But it was great TV for a generation of Founders and those that want to be. In this episode, Cliff and I try desperately to engage Jerry Yang from Yahoo, who had taken the red eye to Philly to join us. The entrepreneurs didn’t do much better. NOTE; this was our very first episode and our first on PBS.

Pro Tip; Speed through the cringe-slow PBS intro, and my open to get to the good stuff. I certainly would.
