Wayback Wednesday – Learnings from “the Grandfather of SharkTank” #204
In this episode, Cliff tries to teach an e-comm lesson to Mike Sweeney of Chefs.com… and the lessons still resonate today, sorta. The Cold Start problem still persists as well.

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. Not every deal on TV got done in real life (for reference, Sharktank’s fill rate on investments vs. offers hovers at 12%). But it was great TV for a generation of Founders and those that want to be.
Speed through the cringe-slow PBS intro, and my open to get to the good stuff. I certainly would.
