The point of an investor is to buy in to a company at its current poiny and use their knowledge and resources to make it more valuable. Not to figure out what it could potentially maybe be and buy it at that price. It doesnt have the be the exact current value, but it should be in the ballpark, not exponentially higher. The risk is losing all the money invested, let alone the company growing stagnant before it 'reached' its valuation. In either case, the sharks did the right thing. It wasnt currently worth 40mil and would be a massive risk to assume it would be, and even if they assumed the best, the best is probably not high for a suger cube with ingredients that you can already buy, separately or together, dirt cheap, in supplement form, in energy drinks, or in a literal cup of tea.
