Come on Robert, don't be silly... they might not be paid monetarily, but the marketing that they acquire through the show plus the investment that they do, that is to say:the visibility of the show, plus their investment, plus the return they will make with the advertsement through the show is a huge opportunity for them, and no amount of money monthly would be close to what they would get in return from their investments. Of course they still have to be smart and use their expertise, but Shark Tank is a mine of gold for entrepeneurs. They are there for ''free'' not necessarily because they're amazing people that wants to spread the spirit of entrepreneurship, but because they see the benefits of this ''media product''. One thing I agree with Robert, if that was essentially the case, don't let people know we're here for free, otherwise they wouldn't get that much of credibility, which is not the case, right?
