Hi, I watch Shark Tank all the time. However I cringe every time I see these people throwing away these huge chunks of their companies. My question is: Do you think that going on Shark Tank and selling a part of your company violates CENTS? More specifically control? I can imagine if @MJ DeMarco went on Shark Tank, early in his start up days, and Kevin asked his famous question "what is stopping me from doing this as well"? Most likely MJ would have made a deal that robbed him of around 30, or even 40% of his company. This would have been devastating to his potential future equity. What do you guys think? Im often wrong in my first opinions. (Lol on the off chance that you are reading this post MJ, you know i love you ;) Oh and finish the damn second book already!! I'm reading all of your posts, and others, right now to hold me off until then)
