It’s the season 11 finale of Entrepreneur Elevator Pitch, and contestants are fired up for their final chance at winning life-changing money from our board of investors.
Watch as hopeful entrepreneurs step into our elevator and have just 60 seconds to pitch their big ideas. If our board of investors likes what they hear, the elevator doors open, and negotiations begin. But if the investors don’t like what they hear, the elevator heads back to the ground floor, game over. “I’m not in the business of wasting time,” says investor Rogers Healy, owner and CEO of Morrison Seger Venture Capital Partners.
Yes, it can be brutal, but don’t get it wrong — investors might quickly turn down pitches, but when they see something they like, they pounce. “I cannot wait to see what happens if he gets into the boardroom!” says investor Marc Randolph, co-founder of Netflix, after hearing one particularly intriguing concept. Here’s the thing: In the entrepreneurship game, when big money meets big ideas, everybody wins.
