As an entrepreneur working in the food industry, I really enjoy watching Shark Tank, because they have many food businesses on the show. It's great to learn how other companies are planning their growth and to listen to the tough questions the sharks ask. This post features all the food startups from Season 1. (Note: All the deals listed here are what was presented on the show. Many of the deals on the show actually fall through in the due dilligence process).
