Editorial Policy & Fact-Checking

Our goal is simple: be the most accurate, useful and honest guide to Shark Tank products on the internet. Here's how we work.

What we publish

Product pages record what happened on air: the ask, the offers, the final deal and the Sharks involved.
Status updates say whether a company still appears to be operating, with the date we last checked.
Rankings and gift guides are generated from our data and success score. No company can pay to be included or ranked higher.
Guides and business ideas are educational articles that use real pitches as examples.

Deal data comes from public episode records and recaps, cross-referenced with other public sources. Where sources disagree, we go with the majority and note the difference on the product page.
Every product, Shark and deal named in a guide must match a record in our database before it's published.
Numbers in data callouts and on "Shark Tank by the numbers" are calculated live from the database, not typed by hand.
Net worth figures for Sharks are third-party estimates. We name the source and date, and we don't present them as fact.

Spot an error or have an update about a company? Tell us. We review every correction and update the page with a new "last updated" date.

We may earn a commission when you buy through links on this site. That never affects rankings. See our affiliate disclosure and ranking methodology.
