Tejas Baichwal Lemonis Vs Shark Tank

I would definitely rather work with one of the sharks. Even though Marcus Lemonis does VERY hands on and in your face work, he just takes away to much equity from YOUR company. With a Shark you can have a first class business partner, but not have to give away half of your company. You could give up only 10 or 20% if you wanted to keep most of the equity. My Product would work with Kevin because it has to do with technology, and Daymond, because it is a coat, and I can use fashion advice.

Minority Report - Jack Reynolds

Pre-Crime as a sign of a totally protective government.

 1. A totally protective government is one that never allows its country or its people to be placed in to any sort of danger. In the movie Minority Report, Pre-Crime takes all of the necessary precautions to keep killers off of the street. Even when one of their own, John Anderton, is convicted of premeditated murder, Pre-Crime does not care, they are a totally protective government and try to arrest him.

2. I believe that a totally protective government should be a part of our society. If this were set in place, no one would ever be in any sort of danger again, we would never have to fear for terrorism, or even hate crimes. It is a sort of utopia.

3. If we had a totally protective government, then many attacks, such as the shooting at borderline bar and grill in Thousand Oaks California just last month. The shooter killed 12 people, and it is just one of the countless mass shootings that has recently happened in America. A totally protective government would prevent this.

1. An endorsement of technology is the act of giving certain pieces of technology public approval and support. In Minority Report, the Pre-Crime unit was trying to receive an endorsement for their system of precogs from the government, so they could continue to use them to stop future murders.
2. Yes, I think this term should be used because an endorsement of technology would be beneficial to society. Using technology helps to keep everything organized and takes less time. Before technology, people would have to keep everything on a paper record which was a tedious and risky process, but nowadays, technology allows people to have everything in one place and makes everything so much faster.
3. Because of the upcoming holidays, there have been many cases of porch pirates stealing Amazon packages that are left on people’s porches. With the help of technology, people would be able to put a camera on their porches which would alert them, or the police, when something is about to be stolen in order to catch and stop the porch pirates.
   
   

Cesar Camilo - Shark Tank vs The Profit

Marcus is a better investor because he contributes to the business and helps around the place. He is also spending money out of his pocket because he knows he will get a major return on it. I would rather work with Marcus because he can actually help me with my business and improve my sales.The difference between Marcus Lemois and the Shark Tank is Marcus is there in person solving every problem financially and business that will boost their sales. Shark Tank don’t get the full experience of being in someone's business store. They are only listening to pitches and it’s an easy no or yes. Shark Tank could increase their money if they went to the owners business and fix it around. My choice is Marcus Lemois.

Shark tank vs.The profit- Ayanna King

The Investor that I think is better is Marcus Lemonis because unlike Shark Tank Marcus Lemonis doesn’t just give the developers/ creators money, Marcus is hands-on and helps with the growth of the business and he also improves or helps create a business plan that he thinks would help the company. My own new product is a food delivery app and the investors I would rather work with would be Mark Cuban and Barbara Corcoran because research and statistics state that Mark Cuban is the best investor on shark tank mainly because he is successful with his investments on and off camera and the 3rd most successful business to date that was on shark tank is called Cousins Maine Lobster, which is a food business that was on shark tank; the business was able to grow because of the investment made by Barabara Corcoran, Barbara invested $55,000 in the business and the current net worth of the business is over $20 million in just 6 years. One major difference between Marcus Lemonis and the investors on Shark Tank is Marcus Lemonis tends to ask for 50% ownership and tends to offer a million to a company while the investors on Shark Tank doesn't usually ask for that much ownership of one's company.

Jack Suvari - Shark Tank vs. The Profit

  I believe that the format that Shark Tank uses for finding and helping potential businesses is more beneficial to the entrepreneur than The Profit. The shark tank uses a wide variety of sharks to give entrepreneur's the opportunity they need to grow and expand their business. That being said, you have to take into account the types of people  that come onto each show respectively. With the Shark Tank it is typically businesses that are "less established" that will come on and look for help. Whereas The Profit emphasizes more on businesses that have a stable footing in what they are doing and need help getting back onto their feet. 

I believe that the best investor is Mark Cuban, I really like his style of investing as well as the way he approaches business. Although he is my favorite I do not believe he would be the best investor for my business. I believe that Robert Herjavec would help out our product the best. His background in the technology sector would be very beneficial to our business.

The biggest difference between the investors on Shark Tank and Marcus Lemonis would have to be how they inevitably help these businesses grow. The sharks use their money and expertise in their fields as "crutches" to the businesses so that they can grow, leaving it up to the entrepreneurs to figure it out. Marcus Lemonis takes a different approach, he, like the sharks, also uses his capital to help support the businesses but he also "gets down to business" and actually helps out in day to day operations so that the businesses that he invests in become profitable.

I like Mark Cuban from from shark tank better than Marcus Lemonis. Mark Cuban seems to be more developed and have more experience in his field than Marcus Lemonis. Also shark tank seems all around better because from the start they are looking to invest. So they are eager to hear about what you can do, and there are multiple investors so you can really find the best fit for your product. I also like how on shark tank, if they don't what they see from the beginning they don't waste their time. However, Marcus Lemonis is also good at what he does because he looks at the company and gets to know who he might be working with. And after everything he invests. Another big difference is Marcus helps businesses that are failing and tries to help them. And shark tank would not invest in failing businesses, they invest is ones that are already doing well, and they make a deal that the person trying to sell their product. And the person selling the product can either take it or leave it. I would work with Mark Cuban because he specializes in sports and my product is a running shoe. I feel like he would be good at sponsoring my product and could assist me well in expanding my product since he is very well known and could help me with my finances. For example, how much I should spend on my shoe and how much I should sell it for.

For my product, I will work with Marcus because  I think the profit is way better than the shark tank In the past 10 years, Marcus successfully turned around over 100 companies. Now he’s bringing those skills to CNBC and doing something no one has ever done on TV before … he’s putting millions of dollars of his own money on the line. In each episode, Lemonis makes an offer that’s impossible to refuse; his cash for a piece of the business and a percentage of the profits. And once inside these companies, he’ll do almost anything to save the business and make himself a profit; even if it means firing the president, promoting the secretary or doing the work himself.

Marcus Lemonis is not a consultant on the show, he doesn’t come in and tell people how to run their business better for ratings or for an hourly fee.  Instead, he buys into the business making himself a partner with the founder(s)…and then tells them how he would do things better (and usually forcefully insists that they follow his ideas

For me, the profit is shark tank on steroids.  It takes all that is good about shark tank, introduction of a new business (the pitch) and negotiations, but instead of ending there you actually get to see the changes the expert (Sharks vs Marcus) implement.  I think the main difference is the purpose of both shows.  In my opinion Shark Tank is produced to highlight the negotiations (the what), whereas The Profit is produced to show the business getting to the next level (the how and why 

Shark Tank vs The Profit Mark Russo

I think Marcus Lemonis is better because of his hands approach in his investments as oppose to the sharks despite not having the same expertise as some of the investors on Shark Tank. My product would most benefit from Daymond John and Kevin O'Leary. Their expertise in both the fashion and the technology industry could strongly benefit my app and its success. The main difference between Marcus Lemonis and the Sharks is how they participate in the business following their investment. Marcus Lemonis makes an attempt to be a crucial component in his investments to ensure he receives his return on investment. The Sharks tend to try to gain the max amount of equity in their investments from the start, yet provide more of a controlling aspect to the process of the businesses they invest in.

Jayna Ortiz- Shark Tank vs. The Profit

Personally I think that Shark Tanks is the better is better for an entrepreneur to participate in. The reason that Shark Tank is the better investor because each shark has their own special department. They might not be as hands on as the profit, however, they do know much more about specific areas than Marcus Lemonis. Because of this idea of being great in one area of business, I would say that Damon is the best bet for investing into my new music streaming app “Come Up Music”.  Damon is really into urban and hip things and definitely can use people to his advantage is developing and selling this app. He is great at marketing and he knows how to appeal to hip things and would provide great business. The difference between Marcus and the investors on Shark Tank is that Marcus is one really hands on, and two really cares about the companies he is investing in. The other sharks are many interested in a product, however they only will invest if they know it will make money, they usually don’t care to much about what they are investing in. The sharks invest money into a company and usually want some of that company, and Marcus usually does the same. Marcus provides a lot for his companies and overall can be really effective, however sharks provide many skill sets in the business industry.

There are obviously big differences in the way Shark Tank and The Profit function. For Shark Tank, the business owners stand in front of a few potential investors and ask them for a certain amount of money for a certain percentage of equity for their business. In The Profit, Marcus comes to the business, sees how it runs, and how he can help, and may or may not make an offer that includes money and a leadership role in the company, at least for a couple weeks to help make that business profitable. Either way, real people, with real success are investing in businesses with their own money, but the key difference is that Marcus comes into businesses that are failing, and tries to turn them around. In shark tank, the sharks will probably not bite at a business that is failing. Marcus looks at good ideas gone bad, invests in them when it’ll be cheap, and tries to turn them around to make a fast profit. The sharks, on the other hand, want businesses that are already doing well in their early years and will continue to do well, so they will continue to make the sharks money over time. Marcus also makes the first offer, and the only offer but in shark tank the entrepreneur makes the first offer, the sharks counter, and the entrepreneur may continue to negotiate with the sharks until they choose to take one of the offers, or leave them.

I don’t think I can say which style, or type of investment is better because it really depends on the business. Marcus is much more hands on than the sharks, which is great for a failing stores or restaurants, but most of the companies that come onto shark tank aren’t stores or restaurants. They are apps, websites, and physical products that are sold and distributed independently or through other retailers, the companies are not retail based. Marcus’s hands on approach probably wouldn’t do much, or be much better than Mark Cuban’s expertise in the dot-com world.

Because of this, I think shark tank would be better for my app, and Mark would be the best partner for me. He got his start with dot-coms, so he has experience with making money off of the internet and technology. In addition, I think shark tank is a much more popular show, so I would get some of the “shark tank affect” by going on the show, and would likely see an increase in users after going on the show. This is important because the main difficulty in growth for my business is recognition of the problem, and awareness of the solution. For my app to work, I need people to realize they are spending too much time counting, and find out there’s an app for that. Having these messages displayed to them one after the other on TV might make that connection for many people, in addition to the expertise that Mark Cuban could bring to the company if I made a deal with him.

 

Shark Tank vs The Profit Aveary Marquez

For my product, Shark Tank would be better than The Profit.  I say this because, Marcus Lemonis is
investing in businesses that are close to shutting down while Shark Tank invests in new business ideas.
Shark tank might see the value in my product and give me money to use to produce my product

William Onuscheck Shark Tank vs. The Profit

When starting a business, Shark Tank is the better option. On the Profit Marcus Lemonis comes in and fixes broken businesses. Hopefully, the business model of Invest-O-Prenuar is not in the point where we need such radical changes. For us, the Capital that the sharks on Shark tank would invest into our company would be enough. Personally, I think that Marcus Lemonis is a nicer guy, and is more into making sure the business works, he says that he cares about jobs on top of money. The sharks care more about money. However, when Marcus invests in a business he wants 100% control for a week, while the sharks let the business do their own thing. 

Shark Tank vs. The Profit Alex Brady

I believe that Marcus Lemonis is a better investor than going on the Shark Tank.  Lemonis is much more hands on and pretty much takes over your company to make it successful, and almost always is successful in doing so.  When going on the Shark Tank, you may leave without any investors, and if you do they are nowhere near as involved as Marcus.  The sharks may invest more money and have more connections, but Marcus helps you succeed and tells you specifically what you need to do to start profiting.  With my product already being a cross product between FUBU and SpaceX, the Shark Tank would not really help me, so Marcus Lemonis would be the one I would go with. 

Amena Alexander Shark Tank vs. Profit

Will Chehab Shark Tank vs. Profit

The investment show shark tank is where investors invest in companies they believe are profitable and offer a check for a certain stake in the company. The Profit is where this one guy goes into a business that loses money and tries to turn it into profit. I would go with the Sharks, specifically Mark Cuban, because they have more experience in the tech industry and our company is a start up. Mark Cuban could open up a market for us. Overall, go with the profit if you are losing money, and the sharks if you can go somewhere.

Ethan Cress Sharks vs. Marcus Lemonis

I think that the investor Marcus Lemonis is better than the sharks because he can actually go inside of the business and see what is going on and make changes accordingly based on their day-to-day but the sharks cannot see this because they are getting elevator pitches which show no bad parts of their process. I would rather work with Marcus because he can tell me how to change my day-to-day and can help my target ads at more people and get really involved with my business. I think a major difference is that Marcus goes in the day-to-day business and analyzes his 3 Ps and the sharks do not do that, they only use what they can see on the outside from their elevator pitches.

Shark Tank vs. The Profit Izabel Stewart

In my opinion, Marcus Lemonis is a better investor than the ones on Shark Tank. It seems like Lemonis is completed invested in reforming a failing business rather than just throwing money at it in exchange for a % ownership. He is very hands-on and takes the reigns of the business to make it much more profitable
For FentyMe (my product) I would prefer to work with one of the Shark Tank investors. They specialize in growing a new product/service, which is exactly what FentyMe needs. Since my business is in the introductory stage and not the decline stage of the product life cycle, I need the right type of investor.
One major difference between Marcus Lemonis and Shark Tank is that Lemonis completely flips a business upside down and builds it back from scratch. The sharks on the other hand will throw money at a growing business that they know will be successful.

Shark Tank vs. The Profit Meghan Maguire

I think that the profit/Marcus Lemonis is better because he comes in and works directly with you to improve your company. He examines your company very well and fixes what needs to be fixed where on Shark Tank they look at the overall company and either invest or not but the don’t look as depth at the little things. Marcus Lemonis spends a lot of his time and his money to improve your company where Shark tank works to own your company. Marcus Lemonis is very knowledgeable on owning business and can be very helpful. Marcus Lemonis dose invest in business for himself and shark tank does that has well but I think Marcus Lemonis invest a little more for the well being for the investor than Shark Tank does.

For my product I would rather work with Marcus Lemoinis because he can come into my product and indivally help me with the development that I need. I think that he would help the app grow to be more of a unique and special app. There are other makeup apps outside of mine and I think that Marcus Lemonis can help me make the app more individual. I think that he can bring his knowledge in marketing and help me get my app more known and get more people to use it.

A difference between Marcus Lemonis and the investors on Shark Tank items of the way they fund is that the investors in Shark tank give a set amount of money to each company and Marcus Lemonis does different renovations to the company. Yes they both have a set budget that they give but Marcus Lemonis uses his for different things. Marucs controls where his money goes. The investors on Shark Tank just gives the money to the companies owners for them to do what they want. For example the investors on Shark Tank will give a company 1 million dollars for 50% of their company. That 1 million dollars is the money that company will get from them. With Marcus Lemonis he will fix your business with a set amount of money. He controls where his money goes. For example in the car cash episode of the Profit he did a number of different renovation to the building and to the company itself, including new uniforms, a new bathroom, a new showroom, etc.  The main difference between them is that Marcus Lemoins controls where his funds go and the investors on Shark Tank give the company's amount of money were the companies has control of where the money goes.

Ben Ward Shark Tank vs. The Profit

In my opinion, the best investor is Marcus Lemonis. He is very smart and knows how business works. He uses the 5 p's of marketing and his knowledge of profit margins to scientifically improve businesses, and even though he spends lots of money, he almost guarantees large returns because of his strict terms on these desperate business owners.

I'd most like to work with Lori Greiner, because an advertising deal on her QVC network can connect very well with my target demographic of suburban moms.

The main difference between Shark Tank and The Profit is that Shark Tank deals more with taking stake in startups with large potential, while The Profit targets struggling, desperate companies and improves their business model.
