The AngelPreneur: Building The Dream in Real Time
A Bold, Unfiltered Look at Launching 7 Startups—From Scratch
Launching a company is tough. Launching multiple startups simultaneously—each with its own team, vision, and business model—and proposing to build a $250 million development thousands of miles away in Maui, Hawaii - might sound impossible. But for Peter “The AngelPreneur” Ortmann, age 70—also known as The Shark—it’s the next chapter in a lifelong journey of bold innovation. Beginning in early 2026, The Shark will bring his vision to life in a groundbreaking entrepreneurial reality web series called: “The AngelPreneur: Building the Dream in Real Time”. A true entrepreneurial comeback story ever there ever were one.
This unscripted, reality-style docu-series will follow The Shark, and host of the series as he and his teams set out to build the three GridZero Venture Fund businesses from the ground up - into public companies hopefully — plus his West Maui Resilience Center project in real time —capturing every challenge, every breakthrough, and every pivot along the way. It promises to become the entrepreneurial reality ride of a lifetime, so fasten your seat belts. The Shark is on the loose and that means lots of drama will be generated.
Raw. Real. Relentless.
Produced in-house by the AngelPreneur Venture Group (APVG), Peter’s private media and venture development firm, this series isn’t a glossy, high-budget production packed with gimmicks. It’s a front-row seat to the unfiltered entrepreneurial daily grind.
You’ll see:
-
Concept creation and early-stage planning
-
Design, funding, and team formation
-
Real people navigating real obstacles
-
Wins, failures, and everything in between
Each of the seven companies will have its own sub-series, offering deep, detailed story arcs and behind-the-scenes insights into what it really takes to build a business. Think older reality series - “The Apprentice” meets “The Office” on “Survivor”—minus the fake drama, plus real vision and real stakes.

As Peter says:
“I don’t see ‘impossible’—I see ‘I’m possible.’ I don’t fear failure—it’s a tool, not a curse. One thing I have learned over the years is to never let someone's perception of you become your reality”
Over the years, The Shark has personally invested well over $1 million of his own money and time into his ideas, despite many setbacks and critics. His journey has never been about playing it safe. It’s about building something meaningful, empowering others to believe they can too, and paying it forward..
