Shark Tank Competition Introduction & Group Brainstorm

Future Entrepreneurs in the Making

In the afternoon, the girls were introduced to the American business reality television series Shark Tank. They were split up into 5 teams of 6 and they worked with their teams to brainstorm business ideas for Rebound Liberia’s first ever Shark Tank pitch competition. They learned about pitching (incorporating what they had learned from the workshop on public speaking) and about the competition criteria. They were given time to brainstorm their ideas and come up with a pitch, budget, and visual representation of their business ideas.
