#MintPlainFacts | Sharks often manage to destroy the valuation anchors set by entrepreneurs by seeking higher equity in exchange for desired funding.

Across sectors, the average valuation offered was less than half the valuation requested.

#MintPlainFacts | No shark invested more than 10% of their net worth. 1 in 5 deals involved debt to keep the money secure.
