The Show is hosted by professional TV personalities, like Bob Rathbun Fox Sports South or Buck Lanford, Fox Five Good Day Morning Anchor, both past Shark Attack EMCEE Hosts.

Innovation Stars is an entrepreneur reality “edu-tainment” series for entrepreneurs, investors, plus the general public and corporate audience who want a deeper view into the rigors and challenges associated with today’s entrepreneurial landscape and success factors.  The program goal is to build a library of on demand content, in addition to Innovation Star updates, suitable for today’s Internet TV, cable and broadcast channel distribution.

Each one hour show will be managed by an Executive Producer responsible for pulling all show “content” together and a Director responsible for filming and editing the final content.

The Show Niche: Innovation Stars represents a video media extension of today’s traditional internet posting on Gust, Pro-Seeder and other global venues. More importantly, it provides key independent assessments to support or raise issues. Both serve to “De-Risk” potential investment.

Funding: Funding is provided by the Shows Sponsors, to include majors (Coke, Home Depot, Delta, Chick-Fil-a) who want to show support for community entrepreneurism and innovation. Other sponsors include leading accelerators, co-working space like Tech Stars, Rocket Space, ATV, ATDC, or Universities who want to showcase their “Best” and build their national exposure. Sponsor investment not only includes the individual show creation, but also on the air promotional collateral. Each show revenue model is based on licensing to media distributors, plus Innovation Stars content library show resales.
 
Relation to Shark Attack: Both shows complement each other. Shark Attack features four pre-rev early stage companies and two later stage entrepreneurial ventures with revenue. Innovation Stars focus on later stage companies providing a deeper “Drill-Down” assessment by experts.

Both productions use the same show management technology infrastructure and the smart phone APP for Crowd Cheering (Voting, Purchase, Donation and Investing). Both Productions provide the same options for Pre-Production, Production and Post Production sources to include digital content library storage.
