His product was being tested in 50 schools in which they liked his product. When he came to the sharks he had around 2000 schools using his product. His one issue was making money off of the program which the sharks had a slight issue with. He explained that he would soon be charging for his services with certain perks added when purchasing.

Such as being responsible and showing commitment in what you are doing.  It main differences are in the sections about knowing when your wrong and supporting others. Starting with the supporting others it isn’t good to shut down other teammate or make them feel down. It doesn’t do any good for the team and only makes thing worse.

We could have picked the first idea everybody liked and worked on that instead of pitching more ideas. However before the first good idea hits I think its just trial and error until something is found that works. Overall i feel that finding an idea to work on was the largest challenge we faced.
