Frequently asked questions

How long is a real Shark Tank pitch?

On the show, entrepreneurs typically pitch for 1–3 minutes before investors start asking questions. The full interaction usually lasts 30–60 minutes, but is edited down. This timer uses a condensed 15-minute format ideal for practice and pitch competitions.

Can I use this for pitch competitions?

Absolutely. Many startup pitch competitions use a similar format: a timed pitch followed by investor Q&A and a decision round. This timer keeps every team on equal footing with fair time allocation.

Why separate deliberation from the decision?

The 2-minute deliberation segment gives investors time to discuss among themselves before making an offer. It mirrors the dramatic pause on the show and gives both sides time to think strategically.
