FreedomFest takes place every summer, and 2016’s “can’t miss” conference is July 13-16 in Las Vegas at Planet Hollywood. Anything can happen in Vegas and the Pitch Tank collaborators promise an entertaining and educational experience for all FreedomFest attendees.  The goal of the Pitch Tank is simple: provide entrepreneurs with a chance to present their business opportunity to thousands of high-net-worth investors and a star-studded panel of angel investors.

The Pitch Tank judges are John Mackey, co-founder and co-CEO of Whole Foods Market; Bernt Ullmann, President and CEO of Star Branding Equity Holdings (SBEH); Steve Forbes, respected economic prognosticator, editorial contributor for Forbes Magazine, and co-author of the new book “Reviving America: How Repealing Obamacare, Replacing the Tax Code and Reforming The Fed will Restore Hope and Prosperity”; Kevin Harrington, successful entrepreneur and an original shark from ABC’s Emmy-winning TV show, “Shark Tank”; and lastly, Michelle Seiler-Tucker, entrepreneur and author of “How to Sell Your Business for More than It’s Worth.”

The Angel Investors Network and FreedomFest accepted proposals from entrepreneurs who wanted to pitch their deal LIVE to thousands of potential investors and the respected panel of highly successful entrepreneurs. Twenty lucky and deserving entrepreneurs will be chosen from among all the proposals the first week in July to attend FreedomFest 2016 in Las Vegas, Nevada at Planet Hollywood.  These 20 semi-finalists have the opportunity to present a six-minute pitch to a number of angel investors on Friday, July 15, where they will be offered critique and coaching on their presentation. Five finalists will be chosen to pitch to the entire FreedomFest audience Saturday morning between 8-9am for a chance to win $25,000 in services from Pitch Tank’s sponsors in addition to the Amazon Web Credits.
