Smart Home Shark Tank (Aka Convince the Analyst) #1: Mason Lawlor & SmartKit: It's the first (of maybe more) Smart Home Shark Tank segments in which Mike takes a pitch, gives feedback and maybe even convinces someone to make changes. This episode basically happened because I got an email one day from a prospective smart home entrepreneur pitching his idea for a new smart home security system. I told him he needed to make some changes, it became a respectful email back and forth, and I invited Mason Lawlor on the show to talk it through and see if he could "convince the analyst." It was fun and I might do more. If you have a startup idea or an idea for a smart home product you want feedback on, email me at thesmarthomeshow@gmail.com and let me know.
