Shark Tank Casting Call

Yesterday I went to an open call for Shark Tank! I dragged my best friend along and we went at 10pm Friday with plans to camp out to get a wristband at 9am Saturday.

By 11:30pm it was pouring rain, lightning and thundering and they declared it wasn't safe for everyone to camp out. So they took my picture and assigned me a number and told us to report back at 8:30am! The rain actually worked in our favor and we slept at my friends apartment near Rittenhouse Square.

We reported back at 8am to get there early and the line was huge, we were lucky we went the night before because they only distribute wristbands to the first 500 people. By 10:30am I was in front of a casting director doing my 1 minute pitch! She said that I had a great pitch, product, and passion and I will find out if I make it through by this Friday. I was the only college student from what I could tell and I know they are seeking young entrepreneurs so hopfeully I have a good shot! I heard there is a 1 in 2500 chance I make it on the show, but I am determined to do it! I will keep you updated on my progress and hopefully good news.
