Cuban continued on about the impact the show has had, sharing stories of people who have watched him on the show since childhood and how the show has been able to help many aspiring entrepreneurs. Currently, Shark Tank is airing its 15th season on ABC and has a panel of investors including Cuban, along with Daymond John, Barbara Corcoran, Robert Herjavec, Kevin O’Leary, and Lori Greiner. Cuban exclusively revealed to the press that his initial motivation to join the show was because he had seen it and thought the investors “sucked.” Little did he know, he’d ended up staying on the show for 12 seasons and invested in countless companies.
Throughout his time on the show, there was one particular product that stood out to him in terms of success – Beatbox beverages. A company founded by a group of partying individuals and one girl from Austin that he initially invested in ended up being worth over $200 million. Cuban’s time on Shark Tank has been characterized by his investments in numerous companies and the wisdom and insight he’s been able to provide to budding entrepreneurs. While his departure is set for 2025, Shark Tank fans can continue to enjoy seeing him on the show through the end of its current season.
