ABC’s hit show Shark Tank has far exceeded the expectations of ABC producers and the Sharks themselves. All of the ABC Shark Tank Sharks have had plenty of experience in venture capital and understand the fundamentals between wins and losses, but to be part of such an epic win on Friday night television wasn’t in the cards, at first. Now there are other shows and other concepts that revolve around startup companies that wouldn’t have been possible without Shark Tank or it’s European and Canadian counterpart, Dragon’s Den.
It’s not “Shark Tank.” Nor is it “Dragon’s Den” or “American Inventor” or “The Profit.” Instead, the newest investment reality show, called “The Startup Hour,” comes with a major twist on the genre and is coming to Boston this month.
New Austin businesses will have a chance to received investments in their company during South By Southwest when “The Startup Hour,” an in-production competitor to ABC’s popular business competition Shark Tank, comes to Austin for two days of filming.
The Startup Hour— a new business-themed reality program that lets TV viewers watch entrepreneurs pitch their ideas — will be in Orlando on March 26 to film startup pitches at Canvs, the co-working space at The Church Street Exchange building in downtown.
Canvs is home to more than 45 companies.
The Startup Hour team also will travel to six other states to film interested startups’ pitches around the country. Entrepreneurs can sign up here.
