Shark Comparison

Given that Ashton has only appeared twice in the tank and has only made two deals while there, it is next to impossible to divine anything about his investment style or preferences on Shark Tank. However, episode 10.02 in Season Ten aired an update on a company he invested in with Mark Cuban in Season Seven, so it's not without some hope that he might return and more data can be collected on him.
