Audition For Shark Tank: Get Your Business Funded

A nationwide talent search for the fifth season of the entrepreneurship reality series Shark Tank is coming to NextFab Studio in Philadelphia on Saturday, and 500 area residents will have a chance to get on the show to pitch investors for funding. 

“Whether you just have a fantastic idea, are a start up or already operating successfully and looking to expand, if you feel you have a lucrative business or product and could use financial backing, then Shark Tank is just the show for you,” according to the ABC show’s website.

Budding entrepreneurs will have a chance to offer a one-minute pitch to a member of the show’s casting team on Saturday at NextFab Studio, at 2025 Washington Ave., and some will be selected for more in-depth video interviews later in the day and a chance to appear on the show.

The first 500 applicants who arrive to the studio at 9 a.m. are guaranteed a wristband; interviews begin at 10 a.m.

Interested applicants must fill out an application.
