YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio – Ken Haidaris, a concert promoter, real estate investor, owner of Sunrise Inn and a shark in this year’s YBI Shark Tank pitch competition, said successful entrepreneurs must be adaptable, know their numbers and be able to explain how investors will earn a return.
Haidaris also emphasized the importance of passion, taking calculated risks and surrounding yourself with people who challenge your thinking.
He says he hopes the competition encourages entrepreneurs to pursue ideas that can grow and create opportunities in the Mahoning Valley.
