Shark Tank is just free PR for investors
Lori Greiner celebrated doing 1 billion in lifetime sales after 15 years On Air on her entire portfolio!!<p>Let's assume an average %60 margins ~ $600 million gross profit
& %20 net profits (rare for tank deals) ~ $200 million is profits max<p>%10 is the average deal on the show ~ $20 million in dividends
capital gain on a unicorn exit (unlikely) ~ $100 million
She invested ~2m max per season (x15) ~ ($30) million invested by Lori
_____________________
Total ROI = 120/30 = X4 at best!!!!<p>Not X4 annually, but in the entire 15 years since the show started!
That is less than %10 annual ROI ((120/30)^(1/15) − 1)! Mediocre returns, same as most stocks.<p>Even with 2 billion dollar exits (which only happened twice in 15 years, none of which were in Lori's portfolio). The ROI is still at %14.1 ((220/30)^(1/15) − 1)! Not that much better than real estate.<p>That whole show is PR for the investors, nothing more.

Ask HN: Gumroad suspended my account, blocked my payout, and stopped responding
Gumroad suspended my account and said it was a compliance issue, not fraud, but gave me no real explanation.Since then, they limited my access to parts of the dashboard, my payout date kept changing, and the money that was already there is still stuck. I contacted support many times and got no response.At this point, it honestly feels like my money is being withheld without transparency, and I do not know what I should do next.Has anyone here dealt with this before? What is the best next step to
Ask HN: Advice on Solo Launching
