Welcome to Container of Sharks, a TV show where entrepreneurs put their ideas to the test in the hopes of winning start-up money from a panel of billionaire investors and one actual shark. Will these apex predators invest in a jetpack that rockets kids from activity to activity so their parents never have to leave the sports bar? What about a fire-beam laser that targets annoying people? Or Jordan’s grandma’s cookie recipe? The stakes are high—any business hopeful who fails to convince the panel their idea is worth investing in gets thrown to the sharks . . . literally!
