About SharkTankDB

Hey there readers! I'm Josh, a self-taught software engineer and entrepreneur.

As a fan of the show Shark Tank I thought it would be fun to put together a website documenting the deals* across seasons.

Have a cool idea for the site? Get in touch.

* Many on-air investments don't actually pan out after due diligence.

Shark Tank by the numbers

Every figure is drawn from a public-domain (CC0) dataset of aired episodes — the ask, valuation, deal amount, equity, and which Sharks invested. Not estimates.

Green bars are the dollars committed on stage each season; the gold line is how many deals were struck. These are on-air handshake figures — per the note above, plenty don't close after due diligence — so it's what was agreed on camera, not final capital.
