entrepreneurs with good ideas can get a lot out of ABC's reality pitch show "
Shark Tank," be it cash, publicity, mentorship, or a national stage.
The show also provides a weekly education on how to successfully pitch your business idea to high-profile investors.
Andrew Figgins, a Chicago-based entrepreneur and owner of the fan site InTheSharkTank.com, says the best pitches stick out for several important reasons.
"Some solve a problem that appeals to the masses," Figgins tells Business Insider. "Others have a story behind the business that helps seal the deal. The Sharks take their chances on entrepreneurs they think have solid plans and the drive to match."
Figgins combs through five seasons of the show to identify the best "Shark Tank" pitches of all time.
