Fresno State graduate Matt Walsh appears on Shark Tank Share: Walsh is still in awe of his experience on the ABC hit show Shark Tank. Walsh and his partner Dax pitched their company TrophySmack, an over the top trophy and awards business. They asked the Sharks for $600,000 for eight percent of their company. "Everyone's talking at the same time. We're not sure, do we answer this one, a different question comes while we are still answering. It was crazy. Adrenaline was high for us. It was a wild experience," he said. Walsh lives in Orange County now but says he owes a lot of his knowledge to his professors at Fresno State and the entrepreneurship program.
