I've seen a couple episodes now. In some cases, he seems to do a good job being an angel investor who can remake a business. It's not clear in some cases how much of the business is still owned by the original owner.
In other cases, they make it seem like he did a great job, but when you add up the numbers, it's barely enough of a business to make it worth keeping the doors open. Sure, as a passive investor he will get his money back, but the active owner now is running fast for little reward.
The biggest problem I have with the show is that it spends too much time on emotional and interpersonal things and doesn't really educate the viewer on how businesses run. Conflating gross profit and net profit, for example.
