topical http://youtu.be/nn8NNSxwFog three business school graduate sisters moved to Silicon Valley to start a dot-com dating site they're pitching on shark tank that selects friends of Facebook friends using a machine learning algo but it's basically Hot or Not. it's free with IAP bullshit. they raised $2.4m of venture capital and burned through it in a year by paying themselves 100k each plus SF dev salaries. they don't anticipate breaking even until they have 10 million in IAP revenue which they swear they'll reach by spending millions on advertising next year. they refuse to provide concrete numbers on their user count and get rejected for being terrible business people with a good product. Mark Cuban offers 30 million today for the whole company and they turn it down within seconds because it's totally a billion dollar business.

friend used to do video editing for reality TV shows. take how fake you think it is and ratchet it up a dozen notches or so. they just use "reality" as a cover for the poo poo production and acting that comes from using non-union labor. no writer's guild members writing the script or screen actor's guild people starring. that's about the entirety of the difference (and the reason they are so loving cheap to make).

the best fake reality show is bar rescue which likes to do things that are illegal in the local municipality and thus get people owned
