Sharkalytics.com is a blog dedicated to uncovering what really happens after entrepreneurs pitch on Shark Tank. We go beyond the show to track business performance, deal outcomes, and the long-term impact of Shark-backed investments.
Founded by startup analyst Dave Mustaine and research editor Viola Moorhouse, our mission is to separate TV drama from business reality. We use real data, case studies, and founder interviews to explore which deals soared, which stumbled, and why
Our Mission
To cut through the hype and deliver data-backed insights on the long-term success (or failure) of Shark Tank businesses. We aim to:
- Investigate post-show startup performance
- Highlight key lessons for entrepreneurs
- Break down trends in investor behavior
- Provide accessible, research-driven content
Who We Are

“I focus on what really drives a business forward—or holds it back—after the cameras stop rolling.”
Viola Moorhouse

Viola ensures every story is grounded in research, fact-checking data and uncovering hidden patterns in startup performance. With experience in market research and business journalism, she keeps our content sharp and reliable.
