  • Yes it requires surgery, and no he's not a doctor, and YES it's probably my favorite episode of Shark Tank. The absolute chaos of it all.

    This video is an opinion and in no way should be construed as statements of fact. Scams, bad business opportunities, and fake gurus are subjective terms that mean different things to different people. I think someone who promises $100K/month for an upfront fee of $2K is a scam. Others would call it a Napoleon Hill pitch.

    Coffee said it well... its more of a question between usefulness vs effort/cost/risk. The problem of losing your headphones is not worth injecting something into your body. In Diabetic Care we started developing microchips to insert into the body to measure your sugar levels and automatically inject the right doses. I am working with some Start-Ups as a consultant, which try to go into the body implant (yet barely existing) market. As of now, the need they try to fulfil is just not there yet. Doesn't mean that there is absolutely no chance, that it won't be in the future. It is always interesting to meet the people working on these ideas, but 99% of the time, it is just interesting technology, but without a real purpose/market.

Funny thing is the guy had a decent idea, he just overcomplicated it, and there were already like 5 companies doing this with patents as far back as 2005 iirc. Those devices however function as hearing aids primarily so they are solving a major issue, they just have bluetooth as a bonus.

    I want to see that full episode. Did the Sharks ask about the valuation, how much the procedure and device would cost, and how much to make it? All the typical sales questions. I would of loved to hear him explain the valuation.

      It doesn't even get that far tbh ... It's pretty entertaining but they are all out at an early stage .. it doesn't get to the financials at all lmao ... Poor guy lol ... There's always next time, but it's time to dissolve the bionic ear llc and start from.square one ...

    I've watched this a bunch of times, and it just blows me away how this was the FIRST episode of shark tanks, and this lunatic started it off with an absolute banger

    @7:53 I was expecting him to be way meaner than he was but I honestly think he's just reeling after hearing that. This is the first time after all, he hasn't gotten his edge yet

    The first episode, but also the craziest.

    Yeah I’d get a tramp stamp before I ever got a Bluetooth headset implanted into my ear. What happens when someone hacks it?

    I love it every time one of the sharks/dragons are laughing at someone and one of the others says something akin to "let them finish". You know they want nothing but to keep the laughs coming.

    This is why the tech guys need marketing guys. If this was pitched well, without the creepy "I'm a mad serial killer in a CSI episode" graphics, this could have worked.

    There is such a thing as bone conduction headphones. They won’t fall off your head but you don’t need any freaking surgeries
