I love the idea (obviously, example 1 was my post from 3 years ago 😊). I doubt a cable network would pick it up, but I could see it as a limited series on YouTube or streaming. Apple could be a fit, but their early attempt, Planet of the Apps, didn’t go so well.

Cuban has a good point, but it could serve as good motivation… if the sharks don’t fund a nonprofit, the audience can have an opportunity to donate in retribution. 😄

Interesting idea! Will think about it for FarmKind in the future.

One dynamic in Shark Tank which adds to the entertainment is the sharks sometimes competing with one another for a stake in the business. What would the NGO version of this be?

Indeed I read this post although I was unconvinced. It seems possible to frame public rejections in a reasonable way IMO. At the end of the day every donation is an implicit rejection of all other charities even if it's not typically seen that way by the public.

I like it. Along these lines, I'd like to see something like Most Generous Philanthropists List, but for counterfactual impact. Or perhaps just counterfactual lives saved to make it less somewhat less subjective.

This is a bit in that direction https://www.vox.com/future-perfect-50 and I think they did a top donation list as well.
