Rebound Liberia’s First Ever Shark Tank Pitch Competition

Meet The Teams

Each team were given 10 minutes to deliver their pitch and convince the Sharks to invest. After the pitch, the Sharks asked the contestants a series of questions to better flesh out the ideas and figure out if they would invest or not. The question and answer was followed by positive feedback and constructive criticisms on how each team could improve their business plans. The objective of the Shark Tank Competition was to get the girls to not only think about entrepreneurship and business, but to also practice public speaking and presenting in front of an audience.

The team consisted of Olivia Hunder, Precious Johnson, Monaliza Ishiekwere, and Fredlecia Dweh. They delivered their pitch confidently and had a solid business plan with a very detailed budget.
