I love my shark tank, but this one just threw me through a loop.

Why in the world are these guys throwing money at this musical guy?

Google ventures throws in 100k, Timberlake, Michaelson, and others have
tossed money at this dude over and over - valuing the company at 6 mil
with only 40,000 in sales!?

I could understand the possibilities of a program like this but at the same
time it seems unlike the sharks to bite hook, line, and sinker.

Cuban ends up throwing 300k his way for 8% of the company. The company
would have to do, what? 4 million in profit for him to just get his return back?

Maybe a little less but man... what is this guy doing with all this money he
is getting??? Somebody educate me here?
