Guy, what is wrong with you? I don’t care what your opinion is, the way you express it makes you an asshole. Reevaluate your life. You seem like a terrible, insecure person.

“People and casting is not a perfect science.”

So how do you explain the fact that their have been women on Shark Tank, who have stood strong, who have had good ideas that they believe in? What, they just let a few in here and their but pack the show with women with ‘traditional businesses’ because of sexist casting directors?

I’m down for what you’re saying and I want to believe but, right now, I just don’t agree.

“I would bet my life that women with tech or non traditional business ideas are being left off.”

The men do love tech related ideas but that is just the times we’re living in. Even if it is a 4th gen tech idea, those often have low margins and high profits. That is what the show comes down to.

No one is saying literally except you. The truth of the matter is, the women on Shark Tank tend to have basic bakery/food related or children’s clothing/products related businesses. The reason for this, I am sure there are plenty, many having to do with sexism and opportunities. But if we’re going to understand the…

I don’t think it’s necessarily representative as I bet men are more likely to have far more options for funding, but why would the show not have women on if they have great ideas or innovative, tech products? That’s ridiculous.

In the case of Shark Tank, I am guessing it has a lot to do with the women appearing on Shark Tank having businesses based around sweets (no bakery is worth investing in unless your own) or children’s clothing. Unfortunately, it is more common for men on the show to have more innovative ideas. They typically have more…
