Acknowledgments and contacts
Mihir Shah goes through the first part of the program showing the strengths of his device.

It is the key moment of the program and not only for Mihir. Spectators around the world sharpen their attention and analyze the opportunity to invest in companies that are about to make the leap to “unicorn”as firms that reach the coveted valuation of $1 billion are known.

But then Chris Diamantopoulos, special guest to the show, offers his point of view: “Is it his personality? Is that style of promise less, deliver more?”.
