Navigating the Waters of Entrepreneurship: Insights from Shark Tank Malta The entrepreneurial arena of Malta received a significant boost with the introduction of Shark Tank, an esteemed investment show known globally. This program offered a platform for aspiring startups to present their business ideas to a panel of seasoned investors, known as 'sharks'. In a special session during the Start Up Festival held on October 13th and 14th, key figures who participated in Shark Tank Malta shared valuable insights. This event was not just a gathering but a fountain of knowledge, especially for those eyeing investment opportunities. A focal point of the discussion was the experiences and strategies shared by Mark Bajada and Donna Cardona. Mark Bajada, renowned for his leadership and entrepreneurial acumen, emphasised the critical balance between professional commitments and personal life, a skill essential for managing multiple companies. His advice serves as a guiding light for entrepreneurs striving to achieve success without compromising their well-being. Donna Cardona brought to the table the evolving landscape of opportunities for students and emerging entrepreneurs. She advocated for active participation in such events to stimulate ideas, identify market niches, and adapt dynamically to challenges, including those posed by the pandemic. The discussion was enriched by practical tips on pitching to investors. Entrepreneurs were advised to be thoroughly prepared for their business plans and financial projections to be scrutinised by potential investors. Furthermore, Mark Bajada shared his approach of actively listening to pitches and speaking last, underscoring the importance of the AIDA model: Awareness, Interest, Desire, and Acquisition. This strategy highlights the significance of understanding and engaging with a business proposal comprehensively before making an investment decision. Donna Cardona concluded the session by sharing her experience of collaborating with an investor who contributed not only capital but also valuable expertise and contacts. This reflects the multifaceted role of investors in nurturing and expanding a business. While the insights shared were drawn from the experiences of Mark Bajada and Donna Cardona, rather than the Shark Tank Malta show itself, they nonetheless offer invaluable lessons for anyone navigating the complex waters of entrepreneurship and investment.
