Episode 611 is the first new Shark Tank for 2015. The New year brings new entrepreneurs into the Shark Tank seeking investments from the panel of wealthy sharks. Husband and wife team Nick and Elyse Oleksak left their high-powered Wall Street careers to “re-invent the bagel” by creating Bantam Bagels, bite-sized, stuffed, mini bagel balls that made Oprah’s “favorite things” list for 2014. Will the Sharks take a bite out of this epicurean delight? Aram, Da Woon, and Soo Kang, sisters and tech entrepreneurs, pitch Coffee Meets Bagel – an oddly named dating app that introduces singles to friends of friends. Former technical director at Pixar Studios Zander Adell pitches Doorman, a service that accepts package deliveries and delivers them to you at your convenience. Former Vice President of Marketing for Newsweek, Julie Kalimian, introduces the Sharks to Skinny Shirt – fashionable women’s shirts that have a slimming effect.

Episode 611 – The Shark Investors and Entrepreneurs
The Shark Tank Episode 611 entrepreneurs will make their best pitch to the panel of five Shark investors who will use their own money if they choose to invest. The Shark Investors negotiate on the spot without any previous information, which differs from typical negotiations between venture capital investors and entrepreneurial start-ups.
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.
