The Circling Sharks of Deep Learning -- Three Mistakes to Avoid

The popular TV show, Shark Tank, has a familiar formula. Business owners pitch their ideas to a panel of judges known as "sharks," who have the option to invest in the company or turn the offer down. Some amazing products have launched on Shark Tank, but for every success, there are multiple failures. Many ridiculous ideas have crashed and burned -- like the Ionic Ear, Bluetooth headphones that are surgically implanted into your ears. The heartbreak comes when contestants use their pitch to highlight the sacrifices they've made -- huge investments of time and money into a product that ultimately goes nowhere.
