Gutsy Entrepreneur Tells Sharks They “Weren’t Important” | Shark Tank AUS

Kym Huynh is seeking an investment of $200,000 in exchange for a 2.5% stake in 'We Teach Me'. We Teach Me matches experts who want to teach to students, automating much of the administration involved in running a course. Co-founder Kym Huynh won a competition before entering the Tank, the cash prize was $5 million, so why does he need a Shark's money?
An international sensation, Shark Tank AUS features entrepreneurs pitching for investment in the Tank from our Sharks, five venture capitalists willing to invest their own money in exchange for equity.

massive insult to an investor for sure but something you might not have known is every single business that pitches on shark tank gives 5% of their company to the network in exchange for the oppurtunity/publicity. They have to give this 5% over even if they dont make a deal that day.
