About Us

Welcome to The Shark Monitor, your go-to source for everything about Shark Tank!

The Shark Monitor is an independent publication dedicated to analyzing the businesses, strategies, valuations, and outcomes featured on Shark Tank. Our goal is simple: move beyond the entertainment value and examine the real mechanics that shape each deal.

What We Cover

Our work focuses on:

• Deal & Valuation Analysis — breaking down equity terms, negotiation dynamics, and financial implications.
• Business Deep Dives — exploring business models, traction, risks, and what happened after the show.
• Entrepreneurial Lessons — practical insights founders can apply to pricing, positioning, and execution.
• Investor Strategies — understanding how Sharks evaluate opportunity, leverage, and potential.
• Educational Content — clear explanations of concepts like pre-money valuation, margins, scalability, customer acquisition, and more.

Whether you’re a fan of the show or an entrepreneur seeking to learn from it, The Shark Monitor provides analysis grounded in business fundamentals, not speculation.

Who We Are

The Shark Monitor is led by Editor-in-Chief Sebastyen Wolf, who brings analytical experience from advisory roles supporting early-stage entrepreneurs, technical research, and strategic consulting. You can learn more about the editorial leadership on our Team page.

How We Work

Our editorial process emphasizes accuracy, clarity, and transparency:

• Source Verification
  Claims from the show are cross-referenced with ABC transcripts, company websites, press coverage, public filings, and reputable databases.
• Contextual Analysis
  We distinguish between dramatic narrative and the underlying business fundamentals that matter in the real world.
• Methodical Breakdown
  We examine markets, pricing, differentiation, risk, and operational feasibility to help readers understand what drives a company’s trajectory.
• Corrections & Accountability
  If any article requires a correction or clarification, we review and update it promptly.

Why We Publish

Entrepreneurship is complex, and the path to growth is rarely as simple as it appears on television. Our aim is to make the world of business more understandable, insightful, and actionable—one pitch at a time.
