This is Mr. Benjamin, and he is in charge of assessments for the International STEM Olympiad.

Asking a startup founder on a TV show what WACC is doesn't sit well with me at all.
i understand that investors want to assess a founder's competence, but throwing advanced accounting and corporate finance terms at someone who is simply seeking investment raises serious concerns about what is actually being evaluated.
When we watch Shark Tank, the focus is rarely on whether a founder can define technical terms like WACC, CAPM, or even explain every finance acronym off the top of their head. The discussion is centered on the business itself, its problem, solution, customers, traction, unit economics, scalability, execution, and the founder's vision.
A founder's primary responsibility is to build, execute, recruit great people, understand the customer, and create value. Deep technical accounting or corporate finance expertise can always be brought in through CFOs, finance teams, advisors, auditors, or investment professionals. That's why companies hire specialists.
If the purpose of a pitch show is to identify businesses with potential, then the questions should reveal whether the founder truly understands their market, knows how to acquire customers, can execute their strategy, and has a realistic path to building a sustainable company, not whether they can recite textbook finance definitions under pressure.
The world's best founders aren't necessarily the people with the strongest academic knowledge of finance. They're often the people who can identify a real problem, build a solution that customers love, and assemble a team capable of scaling it.
Investment should ultimately be about backing talents and exceptional execution, not turning a pitch into an olympiad accounting examination.
