PG Is Not a Fan of Shark Tank

SharkTank and YC are different products for different people. What is the biggest success SharkTank has had? Are they building multiple billion dollar businesses?<p>How many low-tech manufactured products has YC created?<p>I somewhat agree with Sacca, and completely see PGs point. But I think everybody is looking at things through the lens of their view of what an entrepreneur is.<p>ps. I hate saying I feel pg is wrong, feels like I must be making a mistake :)

I think part of the misunderstanding is with a virtual product you can cheaply iterate. With products that have a production cycle and physical costs associated with changes you need to sell what you have to fund next the cycle R&amp;D.

He is absolutely right. Shark Tank is a show. Startup is a business. If you are in showbiz and looking for fun you should go there. Otherwise focus on customers.

PG is so insufferable in text form. I&#x27;ve listened to his live speeches and it&#x27;s like an entirely different person. Maybe chalk it up to the limits of tone over text, but it&#x27;s a consistent pattern.
