THE ROOM: 60 Seconds to Make Them Care — Shark Tank x Black Ambition

This edition features a Shark Tank alum who went head-to-head in a deal negotiation with Mark Cuban and was later selected through Black Ambition for an opportunity to meet and dine with Pharrell Williams. Our featured guest will share firsthand perspective on pitching under pressure, investor conversations, storytelling, positioning, fundraising, and what actually makes people pay attention. Selected participants will have 60 seconds to pitch, receive live feedback and coaching, then step up and do it again. 60 Seconds → Live Feedback → Do It Again.
