Synopsis

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!
