Shark Tank Season 16 premiered on Friday, October 18 at 8 PM eastern time.
The season of an entrepreneurial wave is here again with the Shark Tank Season 16 episodes. With the new episodes airing each week, viewers can brace themselves for a fun ride filled with innovative pitches, bizarre ideas, laughter riots, Sharks’ banter, inspiring stories, and emotional moments.
Just like the previous seasons, the Shark Tank cast will encounter hundreds of pitches from budding entrepreneurs looking to begin, speed up, or save their dream businesses. Plus, they will hear some of the most brilliant business ideas, which will compel them to make hefty investments.
On the contrary, there will also be poor products/ideas that will face criticism and end up without getting an offer. In other cases, while the product/idea may be convincing, a consensus may not be achieved on the pricing, resulting in zero deals.
As seen in the previous seasons, the investors will also not shy away from engaging in bidding wars if they like a product/business idea. Such intense negotiations, debates, and discussions will be a treat for the avid viewers of Shark Tank.
The other highlight of the new Shark Tank season, like the previous ones, will be update segments. These will include segments on past successful businesses from the show and profiles of the new guest Sharks for the season.
Season 16 Shark Tank Cast 2024
Ending speculations and guesswork, the show’s creators have revealed the list of seven regular Sharks. This Shark Tank cast includes:
- Mark Cuban – Billionaire and Owner of the Dallas Mavericks
- Daymond John – Founder of FUBU clothing
- Kevin O’Leary – O’Leary Funds
- Robert Herjavec – Founder/CEO of Herjavec Group
- Barbara Corcoran – New York City Real Estate Mogul
- Lori Greiner – QVC Queen
The new Shark Tank cast will also see Daniel Lubetzky as a regular investor.
Mark Cuban is appearing as an investor for the last time on the show, which has further grabbed headlines. Viewers are keen to see his deals and role as a Shark for one last time.
Daniel Lubetzky is joining the panel as a regular investor for the first time and is being seen as Mark’s replacement. The KIND Snacks founder has also previously appeared on the show as a guest investor and made quality investments through deals like Do Amore.
Apart from the regular ones, the list of ‘new’ guest Sharks is also quite interesting. The names include Rashuan Williams, venture capitalist and limited partner of the Atlanta Falcons; Todd Graves, the brain behind the fast-dining phenomenon ‘Raising Canes’ Chicken Fingers’; and Jamie Kern Lima, founder of the widely hit makeup brand IT Cosmetics (sold to L’Oréal for $1.2 billion).
Shark Tank Season 16 will mark the beginning of the ‘Shark Tank Rashuan Williams’ journey.
