About 2/3 complete, with the other third dying in due diligence. Sounds like they're also hyping a lot of fights this year, for better or worse. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/15140-shark-tank-in-the-media/#findComment-400386

Although the number of pitches by category varies, the percentage getting deals is similar, typically within a 10 point range.

theatremouse February 1, 2015 Share February 1, 2015 Interesting, although given the sample size, basically all the metrics he chose to look at are hovering at 50%, which to me suggests none of these factors are KPIs. I'd be intrigued to see the breakdown by industry, or type of company (service vs product) etc. See if anything seems to stick out. It'd also be interesting to see it broken down by Shark, although I think that one would be more interesting based on if the Shark made an offer, not necessarily deal, since those with multiple offers might obscure a Shark's proclivity to invest in certain things. But in that sense I'm thinking of "are you likely to get an offer from X". Good thing I don't DVR this show or have any saved or else I'd need to stop my urge to do the math... 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/15140-shark-tank-in-the-media/#findComment-780176

Your odds of getting on the show are about 3 in 1,000. Both Tecco’s analysis and mine show that 49 percent of teams received at least a handshake deal during the first five seasons. Of course, that just means that contestants get to the point of trying to get through due diligence. Simply getting on the show to begin with is a much harder slog. During the last season, 35,000 people applied to be on the show, and 157 were invited to pitch on film. Of those, about 112--meaning .3 percent--actually made it to air.
