ABC and Mark Burnett team up for Shark Tank

ABC has teamed up with reality television guru Mark Burnett to launch a show that features entrepeurs pitching their ideas for venture capital.

The show, titled Shark Tank, is patterned after the sucessful BBC reality competition show Dragon’s Den. Each week a group of entrpeneurs will pitch their business ideas to five wealthy venture capitalists, with the goal of  convincing them to invest in their dreams.

Dragon’s Den marks the first collaboration between ABC and Burnett. Mark Burnett can be credited for the reality tv hits Survivor and the Apprentice.
