This was in 2011. It's interesting that in 2012 Tinder and Ingress (better implemented versions of both of these idea) came out.

[@TheHawk-dy4cl]

i was like: " this is a rip off of tinder" then i looked at the date

[@destinyhackney9098]

This is great! Hahaha they are both funny, Mark was super hilarious& so knowledgeable about it all! He's always been my favorite on shark tank :)

[@kevinpatrickcarey3741]

I gotta pitch these guys my pickle vending machine!

[@casho824]

did this guy in the beginning basically pitch tinder?

[@johninsalisbury2010]

I'd suggest a dvd program for home school parents. Instead of a generic program, it would be mini lessons (say for example 8th grade math). With 10 dvd's , students could learn every concept the regular class room students would learn. They just wouldn't get "filler" that happens in the classroom. Also, the lessons would be in mp4 format so they could be put onto their tablet pcs, or put onto USB flash drives, so they could watch them on large HDTV's that many have now days.

[@christophergu4828]

It's like an adaptation of the book series 39 clues...except not that violent

[@lechugaJR]

Mark Cuban on his element.

[@purplepat7440]

That Spy Games guy just got my attention.

[@ThaiChinaMalay]

I thought it sad that the first presenter had two professors as the main advisers. That is almost a guarantee of failure as most professors are theory orientated. The sharks are private sector real world businessmen who are not theory orientated but have real world experience. Imagine if these two sharks replaced the professors.. the value of this experience is for the students to learn what not to do.

[@subutai999]

Actually at Babson in entrepreneurship division you have plenty of profs with lots of business experience. My fav prof founded 14 companies.

[@ruchb1]

Did anyone else notice at the end the guy says and lets thank Mark and not Daymond I would be insulted if I were Daymond

[@NavAK_86]

I thought that as well at first, but he does say his name, it just drowned's out when the audience starts clapping.

[@freshmilkmilk]

Daymond ain't a billionaire but mark is

[@jaimeone1]

I would hire this sound guy to record for a silent film!

[@bluestrapsify]

How about a novel idea like a Casino called Smoking Gun Casino. Where in my entreprenuership class we came up with a organizational, marketing and advertising plan for the business and , I believe came up with a great basic business model.

[@martiangulele5210]

I think Babson should start posting these kinds of videos again.😆

[@g0nz310]

that the guy if EZVIP

FUBU

[@11rjfc]

you know this

[@hamig306]

Mark Cuban didnt even grasp the first pitch. there WAS things wrong with it and reasons why it wouldnt work, but Mark was pointing out flaws that werent even there and he was blind to the real problem(s) which is that one can check ALL the intentions and just match with literally everybody and get coffee with this person and hook up with that person. Mark also said its weird to ask for coffee instead of asking someone out...that stuff happens in the real world too you cant escape it. some people are scared to use the word 'date'lol. Mark made a couple good points too but i feel he was being harsh and acting like a know-it-all. peace.

[@hamig306]

which is kind of what i was being. i didnt like his first comment so i went on to analyze what i didnt like about his stance on it which is what he was doing in his head the moment he noticed a couple "flaws" . in the app

[@mikeunconfirmed1489]

Mark isn’t a awkward nerd afraid to talk to girl, so this would be an app he would not understand

[@AutomationMaestro]

Isn't the first pitch similar to bang with friends?

[@DangerVanGorilla]

American Idol for marketing majors

[@TheHawk-dy4cl]

idk man, I like the first guy's idea, not that my opinion matters. But i think its pretty cool

[@mikeunconfirmed1489]

Cuban 15:55 “mother’s cousin”? Geez

[@amanullah365]

The idea of the app is already created. It's called Heyo on the app store

On shark tank, the pitches and info are a lot shorter. With this we have to hear the WHOLE THING OMFG.

[@IJustFiguredThisOut]

I know you posted this comment three years ago, but that isn't true. Most of the pitches on Shark Tank last from 1-2 hours, it is just edited down to about 10 minutes.

[@bluestrapsify]

We gotta get these kids of their phones and do like we used to do back in the 90s even. Or we are gonna have real problems in the future.

What about ingress?

[@hansonkewl06]

ahh, trint me.....long time no see, from hacker dojo

[@17thst12]

What's in the water @Babson?? Instead of creating new ways to implement a bad idea.... you should really exercise your imagination and come up - with new ONES. NOt just an idea but a business... my observation as a pupil investor, is that people are asking problem questions far too often, what does that mean, questions that create more problems and not ones that lead to actual solutions. As my 78 yr old biz partner iterates "#Nothing in life works, unless YOU DO, STAY THE HELL OFF FACEBOOK!!!"

It will not be long un till talking to people face to face will be a thing of the past.

I have to admit it stands out and was annoying me.

[@KingColin92]

This was extremely disappointing. How are these the two best ideas from this entire school? These guys need to learn how to actually talk to girls and get a real job

[@DJjakedrake]

What if I told you Wellesley college - an all girls college of ~2500 - was right down the street from Babson.

[@mrzo0otz]

liik dis if u cry evrytim

[@noxyflex]

What selection criteria did the administrators of this show follow, in order to select these 2 groups? Their ideas are so naive! Mark must have felt robbed of his time listening to these pitches, lol. Maybe he should have gone to Harvard.

[@LucyferBlak]

Both ideas are horrible.

Sorry to say these kids lack complete common sense.
