4. The Pitch
Shark Tank but a podcast? We introduce to you- The Pitch by Josh Muccio.
The concept behind The Pitch isn’t new: an entrepreneur pitches a room full of investors to try to get an investment that might change the fate of their business. Whereas you may sometimes feel that Shark Tank is a bit too rehearsed, this podcast feels nothing like that and is raw and uncut.
What makes it more realistic than the show is that there’s no wading through annoyingly produced emotional stories or artificially callous investors. On The Pitch the producers follow up with the entrepreneur a few months later not only to see which investments stuck, but also how the company is doing – and what’s inevitably changed, something which isn’t disclosed on the show. Although, with less resources available, the deals are a bit less exciting but overall it is more enlightening and thus better than Shark Tank.
