Shark Tank: Fund My Nonsense Product

Dear Corporate Unprofessionals!

Since the weather will be too hot, we are organizing a different event outside this time.

The concept is a SharkTank outside for nonsense products.

How it works

• Everyone in the audience gets fake money at the start.
• We hand voluntary presenters a random, nonsense product on the spot.
• They get 3 minutes to pitch it like it's a real business.
• The crowd gets 3 minutes to ask questions and try to break the pitch.
• After each pitch, you invest in the ones you believe in (or find the most ridiculous).
• Whoever raises the most fake money wins.

The products
Expect things that make no sense as businesses. That's the point. The fun is watching someone sell it with a straight face and full confidence.

Why come

• If you pitch: practice selling something on the spot, thinking fast, and holding your ground under questions. Good rep for actual pitching, without the actual stakes.
• If you invest: practice thinking like a VC. Ask questions, spot the weak points, decide where your money actually goes.
• Either way: it's a low-pressure way to get comfortable improvising in front of people.

Want to pitch?
Sign up when you arrive, or during the event. You'll get your product right before you go up, no time to prepare.

Just want to invest?
Show up, grab your money, and start funding.

Where
Monbijou Park in Mitte — outdoors, so bring sunscreen and water. It's summer. The exact location will be shared on the day of the event.
