Now is your chance to pitch to the Sharks

ABC’s reality show Shark Tank is currently accepting formal company and product pitches from entrepreneurs to appear on the 2017-2018 season of the show.

According to ABC, “The Sharks are tough, self-made, multi-millionaire and billionaire tycoons who search to invest in the best businesses and products that America has to offer.” The Sharks are billionaire Mark Cuban, real estate mogul Barbara Corcoran, “Queen of QVC” Lori Greiner, technology innovator Robert Herjavec, fashion and branding expert Daymond John; and venture capitalist Kevin O’Leary.

This season of Shark Tank will feature guest Sharks Sara Blakely, founder and owner of Spanx; Richard Branson, investor, philanthropist and Virgin Group founder; Bethenny Frankel, Skinnygirl founder and bestselling author; Rohan Oza, iconic brand-builder behind Bai, Vitaminwater and Smartwater; and Alex Rodriguez, legendary baseball player and founder & CEO of AROD Corp.

The show prides itself on giving all entrepreneurs a chance to chase the American dream. Shark Tank received the 2016, 2015, and 2014 Emmy Awards for Outstanding Structured Reality Program.
