A decade of casting Shark Tank taught me one thing: there are far more great businesses than there are stages. This competition is a stage any founder on Earth can step onto — straight from your phone. Here's the one-minute story.
Every pitch gets a Pitch Score (0–100) against this rubric. It's 70% of your final score — so a great pitch from a small account can beat a big following.
Final Score = 70% × Pitch Score + 30% × Community Score
Community Score comes from likes and reactions on our official Facebook & YouTube posts of your pitch — normalized on a log scale against other entries in the round, so a few hundred engaged supporters can rival an audience of thousands. A pitch must score at least 60 on the rubric to win, no matter how many likes it gets.
Updated as pitches are scored and engagement comes in. Final results are verified before the winner is announced.
| Business | Founder | Pitch Score | Community | Final | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Round 1 standings will appear here once the first pitches are scored. | |||||
Community Score reflects likes/reactions on our official Facebook and YouTube posts only — counted as growth during the official voting window (Aug 11–21), so posting order gives no advantage — and log-normalized within the round. Standings are provisional until engagement is audited for authenticity.
No. Production quality is only 20% of the rubric. A clear, specific pitch filmed on a phone beats a vague pitch with drone shots. Good light and clean audio are all you need.
Yes — that's the design. The rubric is 70% of your score, and community engagement is normalized on a log scale, so a few hundred real supporters compete with audiences of thousands. And no pitch below a 60 rubric score can win on likes alone.
A strong pattern: who you are and the business name (5s) → the problem and who has it (15s) → what you sell and how it solves it (15s) → proof it's working: customers, revenue, growth (15s) → what's next and a memorable close (10s).
Eligible pitches are posted to our official Facebook and YouTube channels — free exposure for your business regardless of whether you win. You keep ownership and can request removal after the round.
Round 1 entries close August 7, 2026 at 11:59 PM "Anywhere on Earth" (AoE, UTC−12) — the fairest deadline on the planet: as long as it's still August 7 in any timezone on Earth, you can submit. All eligible pitches are then posted to our channels within 72 hours in randomized order, and voting runs August 11 through 11:59 PM AoE August 21, 2026. Rounds run periodically; each round's dates are posted here and on our social channels.
$500 USD via PayPal, Wise, or a similar electronic method, after eligibility verification. Winners are responsible for any taxes in their country.
