  • 2015 Fall Press Report
    ROBERT HERJAVEC 2015 Fall Press Report OUTLET: THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER ISSUE: DECEMBER 4, 2015 CIRCULATION: 73,875 IMPRESSIONS: 221,625 OUTLET: RUNNERS WORLD ISSUE: NOVEMBER 6, 2015 IMPRESSIONS: 2,625,589 I got fired when I was younger, started an internet security business, and that was that. Some people have a vision to start a business. Others adapt because they’re forced to. I was the latter. I was a casual runner my whole life, but I got serious eight years ago when my mom became ill with cancer. My company was growing, my kids were littler, the days felt overwhelming. The only thing that made me forget about everything was running, so I started doing it every day. Most people think business is the fun, sexy stuff we see on TV, but success comes from the 22 things you have to do every day that nobody notices. That’s just like running. There are a lot of fans at the finish line of a marathon, but not as many between miles three and 26. My proudest running moment was my first marathon in Miami in 2009. I trained only for a few months, but I was really proud that I even finished (in 4:40). I run five miles daily, plus a long run of eight to 10 miles on Sunday. It’s hard to find the time but if I don’t, I’m more tired, I need to eat more – it affects me physically and mentally. I appeared on Dancing With the Stars this year and made it to week eight of 10 with no dance experience.

  • Robert Herjavec
    SM 1120 Transcript EPISODE 1120 “RH: I think what a recession does and why this is such a great time, it gives you clarity of focus. When things are going good and money's cheap – When we started Shark Tank, you couldn't get a bank loan. And if you could, it wasn't going to be very big. So you had to be right. And one of the biggest problems with most entrepreneurs is they chase unlimited opportunity.” [INTRODUCTION] [00:01:00] FT: Welcome to So Money everybody. I'm your host, Farnoosh Torabi. It might be a familiar sound. That's the voice of Robert Herjavec. If you watch Shark tank, you know who Robert is. He's the founder and the CEO of Herjavec Group and a leading shark on ABC’s Shark Tank. Really excited to unveil our interview. Robert was born in Eastern Europe. He arrived in North America on a boat with his parents after escaping communism in the former Yugoslavia. He delivered newspapers, waited tables and then he launched a computer company from his basement, and that is what launched his financial life and his entrepreneurial career. In 2003 he founded Herjavec Group. It quickly became one of North America's fastest growing technology companies. Robert and I discussed the future of business and work and what are some opportunities for entrepreneurs who want to launch something relevant, new and long- lasting in this recession. And how is he so nice, right? I watch Shark Tank. He's definitely the most even-keeled, consistently kind shark, I'd have to say, I think.

  • Gender Differences in Venture Capital Funding on ABC's Shark Tank THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements
    Gender Differences in Venture Capital Funding on ABC’s Shark Tank THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with Honors Research Distinction Degree in the Max M. Fisher College of Business of The Ohio State University By Tyler Jordon Hunt Finance Specialization in Business Administration The Ohio State University 2016 Dissertation Committee: Patricia West Ralph Greco Copyrighted by Tyler Jordon Hunt 2016 Abstract ABC Network’s reality television show “Shark Tank” gives entrepreneurs the opportunity to pitch their ideas to a panel of investors for the chance to receive funding. Each season more than 35,000 entrepreneurs apply to be on the show. Whether they receive an offer for funding or not, they still stand to gain the free advertising that comes with appearing on a show with more than seven million average viewers per episode. Although there are abundant resources for knowledge on Shark Tank, women in venture capital, and behavioral gender differences, sources are lacking on gender differences in venture capital funding on Shark Tank. The purpose of this research is to determine if differences exist in how entrepreneurs receive funding based on their gender. To analyze this, I utilized two publicly available datasets containing information on the pitches aired on the show. These datasets were cleansed and merged to form one data set with thirty- five variables spanning across four seasons and 235 pitches. I found that despite having comparable or better businesses than their male counterparts, women ask for lower valuations and accept deals at a lesser percentage of what they asked for compared to men.

  • Meet the Predators
    volume 5 issue 9/2016 MEET THE PREDATORS THE BRANDING PRACTICES BEHIND DRAGONS’ DEN, SHARK TANK AND HÖHLE DER LÖWEN Sabine Baumann Jade University Department of Management, Information, Technology Friedrich-Paffrath-Str. 101 26389 Wilhelmshaven Germany [email protected] Ulrike Rohn Tallinn University Baltic, Film, Media, Arts and Communication School (BFM) Centre of Excellence in Media Innovation and Digital Culture (MEDIT) Narva mnt 27, 10120 Tallinn Estonia [email protected] Abstract: The TV industry has traditionally relied on advertising and subscription fees for revenue. Recently, brand extensions and co-branding strategies have been rediscovered as income sources. A prominent example of such a strategy is the TV format Dragons’ Den, which has been locally produced in many different countries. We use this intriguing case to explore the extensive and intricate co-branding relationships and brand extensions in the business-to-consumer and the business-to-business settings of TV companies. Our paper analyses global adaptations and cultural branding of Dragons’Den; in particular, brand extensions and co-branding strategies. Keywords: business practices, international TV formats, co-branding, brand extensions, cultural branding, finance, localisation, celebrity entrepreneur In times of ever-increasing information and entertainment choice across a growing number of media platforms, being noticed by audiences is increasingly important and difficult. Being able to offer a brand that adds emotional and value-driven attributes to a media product helps advertisers attract audiences and stand out from the mass of media products offered.1 Furthermore, having a recognizable brand among one’s product portfolio may help to garner advertising revenues from export or licensing agreements.2 1 Sabine Baumann, ‘Media Branding from an Organizational and Management-Centered Perspective’, in Gabriele Siegert et al., eds., Handbook of Media Branding, 2015, pp.

THE BIGGEST LESSON I take out of running is that pain is tempo- rary—and so is accomplishment. I CRINGE when people ask to run with me. I love running alone. It allows me to think. When I run with others, I always feel the need to socialize. Running isn’t social to me, it’s personal. I GET BUSINESS IDEAS all the time while running. I used to forget them by the time I was done, so now I bring a piece of paper with me in case something comes up.
