Episode 1301 – The Shark Investors and Entrepreneurs
The Shark Tank Episode 1301 entrepreneurs will make their best pitch to the panel of five Shark investors who will use their own money if they choose to invest.

Companies pitching the Shark Investors must go through a rigorous due diligence process before an on-air deal is completed. Shark Tank Blog follow ups help you keep track of the companies that end up successful and the ones that don’t complete their deal.
