C-shark Tank is a uniquely structured program bar none in the world. Season 6 will be a brand new season with a different twist. Not only have we added an 8 week acceleration, we have also added more flexibility in terms of schedule and funding.
There are 2 stages. At stage 1, startups pitch to C-sharks behind closed doors. Stage 2, smaller clusters of C-sharks dive deeper with each startup.
In previous seasons, we shortlist 15 startups and a VC jury picks 9 to pitch to C-sharks. In Season 6, we will run a series with few startups pitching each month. C-sharks will indicate their stake and if the pool exceeds the threshold of $100,000, investment will proceed.
All funded startups will update their learning and action plan at the end of the 8 week acceleration where C-sharks will submit their TOP UP funding (optional).
