The Biggest Mistake We Made Before Shark Tank – And You Should Avoid It Too!
We went too early.
Even though we got selected for the studio round based on our prototype and pre-seed stage, we launched our app just a week before our pitch. At that time, we believed Shark Tank was for early-stage startups. But that’s not the reality.
Sharks primarily invest in companies that are already generating revenue, even if they’re operating at a loss.
Some sharks genuinely loved our concept, while others didn’t. Some treated us with great respect, while a few were just there for TRP.
But here’s what happened before our episode even aired:
✔️ We crossed 1 lakh downloads within 3 months.
✔️ Today, we have 1.5 lakh+ downloads – all without spending a single rupee on marketing.
✔️ Our revenue grew 10X compared to what we mentioned on Shark Tank in just 3 months.
✔️ Yes, our servers crashed multiple times because we couldn’t handle the traffic.
✔️ Yes, we’re constantly improving, fixing bugs, and implementing new features based on user feedback.
Thanks for all the love and support! We’re giving our best at every step.
Lesson learned: Don’t go to Shark Tank until your business is generating solid revenue.
