Engler Program Brings 'Shark Tank' to Nebraska

Will you help us spread the word about our Shark Tank Open Casting Call and Heartland Shark Tank event in Lincoln, Nebraska, on April 5-6, 2019?

The Engler Entrepreneurship Program is hosting an Open Casting Call for a chance to be on ABC’s Shark Tank. The casting call is part of the Heartland Shark Tank, a two-day event designed to highlight Heartland entrepreneurs, including talks from previous Shark Tank winners, a behind-the-scenes look into Shark Tank with the executive casting producer, free consulting from local service providers, a post-pitch party and more!

We know entrepreneurship runs deep in the Midwest, and this event is designed to showcase our brand of business owners. There is no cookie-cutter person or business - from the Saddle-maker to the software developer - we want everyone to join us in Lincoln! And we’d love for you to help us spread the word.

We need to reach and invite our midwest entrepreneurs to come pitch in the open casting call. A media kit, which includes event information and graphics about the event, can be found at https://go.unl.edu/60tw. Feel free to share in your marketing channels and however makes sense to you.

Above all, referring potential pitchers to the web site http://www.heartlandsharktank.com will would be wonderful. There they can sign up to pitch and find more information.

Additionally, should you have any names of people or businesses you think would be a good fit to pitch, please send me their contact information, and I’d be happy to reach out to them.

This event is a community effort to grow entrepreneurship in the Midwest, and highlight the outstanding business owners in the Heartland. The Engler Program is a small collegiate program, and we are so excited to bring this to Lincoln.

We hope that you'll consider being a part of it! Please let me know what questions I can answer, and I'd be happy to visit more about the opportunity.
