So the child would play with the block by touching the block to a tile. So if we take the green tile here, for example, on one side it has the color or an image on the other side. It has the name green. If you touch it, it says green and it responds with in this instance, the green color. We've done over 1000 tests with parents and children, with educators with professionals, including speech therapists. And we started out with the cube is a very nascent idea, but you can kind of build an entire ecosystem of this that even syncs up with other objects because this is bluetooth enabled. So we can usually down we can usually push to it. New technology and information and have it adapt. 2092 https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/451/004451/video_XwVxQX3.mp4 2022-07-20T13:57:47.905372+00:00 https://entrepreneurtrial.getseeen.ai/moment/38059/pitch-2-kiri-co-founders-background-and-the-investment-need https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/451/004451/000002/moments/thumb_012537.jpg Pitch 2 - Kiri co-founders background and the investment need My co-founders are a senior executive at a toy company and a Stanford Grad with an MBA.

What would you do if you flubbed your introduction during a high-stakes pitch? Entrepreneur Elevator Pitch invites ambitious entrepreneurs to step into the Entrepreneur Elevator, then gives them 60 seconds to pique the judges’ interest. It’s a high-pressure, fast-paced environment in which startup founders need to race the clock while maintaining their composure to make a clear, deliberate pitch that covers at least three essential components: Defining the company Making the request Specifying what the investment money will be used for The investors watch the pitch through a video livestream while the elevator ascends to the boardroom floor. Once the 60 seconds are up, the group votes on whether to open the doors or send the founder back down and pass on investing. 1980 https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/913/004913/video_FOlOBQR.mp4 2022-09-27T17:59:52.489597+00:00 https://entrepreneurtrial.getseeen.ai/moment/39807/shizu-okusa-apothekary https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/913/004913/000001/moments/thumb_013408.png Shizu Okusa - Apothékary 1980 https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/913/004913/video_FOlOBQR.mp4 2022-09-27T17:59:52.489597+00:00 https://entrepreneurtrial.getseeen.ai/moment/39808/elyse-kaye-bloom-bras https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/913/004913/000001/moments/thumb_013407.png Elyse Kaye - Bloom Bras 1980 https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/913/004913/video_FOlOBQR.mp4 2022-09-27T17:59:52.489597+00:00 https://entrepreneurtrial.getseeen.ai/moment/39809/eja-batbold-tomyo-edtech https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/913/004913/000001/moments/thumb_013406.png Eja Batbold - Tomyo Edtech 1980 https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/913/004913/video_FOlOBQR.mp4 2022-09-27T17:59:52.489597+00:00 https://entrepreneurtrial.getseeen.ai/moment/39810/minette-yu-storeyline https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/913/004913/000001/moments/thumb_013405.png Minette Yu - Storeyline 1980 https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/913/004913/video_FOlOBQR.mp4 2022-09-27T17:59:52.489597+00:00 https://entrepreneurtrial.getseeen.ai/video/4915/can-a-sex-enhancement-product-score-a-100k-deal-in-60-secs https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/915/004915/000002/thumb_003976.png Can a Sex-Enhancement Product Score a $100K Deal in 60 Secs? On this week's episode of Elevator Pitch, our panel of investors watches pitches on a wide range of industries, from sexual wellness to fashion, personal health and technology. While the products are diverse, one thing is the same: it is nerve-wracking to deliver a clear, informative pitch in just 60 seconds. Some use attention-grabbing gimmicks to start their presentation, like talking about pooping their pants as a way to start a conversation about irritable bowel syndrome. Others use a cliffhanger at the end of the pitch, hoping to draw the investors' attention.  Some of those tactics work on our board, which includes Inherent Learning CEO Nicole Walters, angel investor Kim Perrell and Netflix co-founder Marc Randolph. Other tactics? Not so much. Learn what to do from the entrepreneurs who get through our elevator doors, and what not to do from those who get denied. 1941 https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/915/004915/video_Ws4sLQB.mp4 2022-09-27T17:33:59.227094+00:00 https://entrepreneurtrial.getseeen.ai/moment/39803/stephanie-elias-and-hannah-hutton-personal-fav https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/915/004915/000002/moments/thumb_013404.png Stephanie Elias and Hannah Hutton - Personal Fav 1941 https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/915/004915/video_Ws4sLQB.mp4 2022-09-27T17:33:59.227094+00:00 https://entrepreneurtrial.getseeen.ai/moment/39804/lexi-aissa-the-confidence-co https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/915/004915/000002/moments/thumb_013403.png Lexi Aissa - The Confidence Co 1941 https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/915/004915/video_Ws4sLQB.mp4 2022-09-27T17:33:59.227094+00:00 https://entrepreneurtrial.getseeen.ai/moment/39805/melissa-scott-modefywear https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/915/004915/000002/moments/thumb_013402.png Melissa Scott - Modefywear 1941 https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/915/004915/video_Ws4sLQB.mp4 2022-09-27T17:33:59.227094+00:00 https://entrepreneurtrial.getseeen.ai/moment/39806/marvin-francois-onekin https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/915/004915/000002/moments/thumb_013401.png Marvin Francois - Onekin 1941 https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/915/004915/video_Ws4sLQB.mp4 2022-09-27T17:33:59.227094+00:00 https://entrepreneurtrial.getseeen.ai/video/4916/watch-the-60-second-pitch-that-landed-a-500000-investment https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/916/004916/000001/thumb_003942.png Watch the 60-Second Pitch That Landed a $500,000 Investment On this week's episode of Elevator Pitch, the pitchers come from a wide variety of backgrounds and industries. Some are seasoned pros who have already built and sold businesses, while others have yet to complete their first product. But one trait they all share in common, however, is not being shy about having bold asks. More than one startup founder asks for a seven-figure investment from our panel of investors, which includes entrepreneur Shaun Neff, angel investor Kim Perrell and Netflix co-founder Marc Randolph. None of the pitching entrepreneurs manage to get that million-dollar number. However, one gets halfway there. Watch the full episode to find out which business swayed one investor to put in $500,000, which opportunity had our judges competing against one another with six-figure offers, and which pitch left them totally unmoved. 2102 https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/916/004916/video_hLcc0tK.mp4 2022-09-27T16:46:00.999498+00:00 https://entrepreneurtrial.getseeen.ai/moment/39799/rachel-glass-glosslab https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/916/004916/000001/moments/thumb_013317.png Rachel Glass - Glosslab 2102 https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/916/004916/video_hLcc0tK.mp4 2022-09-27T16:46:00.999498+00:00 https://entrepreneurtrial.getseeen.ai/moment/39800/john-dixon-balance-spark https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/916/004916/000001/moments/thumb_013316.png John Dixon - Balance Spark 2102 https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/916/004916/video_hLcc0tK.mp4 2022-09-27T16:46:00.999498+00:00 https://entrepreneurtrial.getseeen.ai/moment/39801/elizabeth-braman-and-justin-hughes-joyhub https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/916/004916/000001/moments/thumb_013314.png Elizabeth Braman and Justin Hughes - Joyhub 2102 https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/916/004916/video_hLcc0tK.mp4 2022-09-27T16:46:00.999498+00:00 https://entrepreneurtrial.getseeen.ai/moment/39802/danny-beckett-jr-flextal https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/916/004916/000001/moments/thumb_013315.png Danny Beckett Jr - Flextal 2102 https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/916/004916/video_hLcc0tK.mp4 2022-09-27T16:46:00.999498+00:00 https://entrepreneurtrial.getseeen.ai/video/4917/these-founders-started-their-company-with-a-300-investment-theyve-now-done-1-million-in-profits https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/917/004917/000002/thumb_003973.png These Founders Started Their Company With a $300 Investment. They've Now Done $1 Million in Profits This week's episode of Elevator Pitch features female founders from the travel, beauty, and fashion industries. Each pitch offers something new and intriguing: One startup founder claims a valuation upward of $20 million, another boasts $5 million in sales and another uses an "off the cuff" style that she believes provides a more genuine pitch. But will those big numbers and surprising styles be enough to overcome their companies' weak points, like an overcrowded marketplace or an untested product?  Our investors for this episode — serial entrepreneur Dre London, angel investor Kim Perrell and Netflix co-founder Marc Randolph — put this group of entrepreneurs through the paces to determine which business will likely be printing money, and which will likely be a money pit. Watch the full episode to find out who wins an investment ... and who gets sent packing. 1821 https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/917/004917/video_qFKgzCM.mp4 2022-09-27T17:32:36.022522+00:00 https://entrepreneurtrial.getseeen.ai/moment/39796/krysta-lewis-aisling-organics https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/917/004917/000002/moments/thumb_013400.png Krysta Lewis - Aisling Organics 1821 https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/917/004917/video_qFKgzCM.mp4 2022-09-27T17:32:36.022522+00:00 https://entrepreneurtrial.getseeen.ai/moment/39797/maxime-morin-and-madeleine-arcand-rose-buddha https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/917/004917/000002/moments/thumb_013398.png Maxime Morin and Madeleine Arcand - Rose Buddha 1821 https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/917/004917/video_qFKgzCM.mp4 2022-09-27T17:32:36.022522+00:00 https://entrepreneurtrial.getseeen.ai/moment/39798/samantha-patil-well-travelled https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/917/004917/000002/moments/thumb_013399.png Samantha Patil - Well Travelled 1821 https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/917/004917/video_qFKgzCM.mp4 2022-09-27T17:32:36.022522+00:00 https://entrepreneurtrial.getseeen.ai/video/4918/this-is-the-no-1-mistake-you-can-make-when-pitching-investors https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/918/004918/000002/thumb_003941.png This Is the No. 1 Mistake You Can Make When Pitching Investors This week's episode of Elevator Pitch features pitches from minority founders in the finance, beauty, cannabis and beverage industries. Some of the founders have years of experience with starting ventures and raising funds, while others are pitching in front of cameras for the first time. Regardless of their previous experience, every person in our elevator has to stare down the ticking clock and battle their nerves to deliver a succinct and compelling 60-second pitch.  What happens if they stumble over a rehearsed sentence or lose their train of thought? Will they be able to get back on track and impress our investors — serial entrepreneur Dre London, angel investor Kim Perell and Netflix co-founder Marc Randolph — or will they completely fall apart under the pressure. Watch the full episode to see who manages to pass the first stress test and get into the investment room. 1678 https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/918/004918/video_KyRV4mk.mp4 2022-09-27T16:45:29.474117+00:00 https://entrepreneurtrial.getseeen.ai/moment/39781/whitney-beatty-josephine-billies https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/918/004918/000002/moments/thumb_013313.png Whitney Beatty - Josephine & Billie's 1678 https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/918/004918/video_KyRV4mk.mp4 2022-09-27T16:45:29.474117+00:00 https://entrepreneurtrial.getseeen.ai/moment/39782/kim-roxie-lamik-beauty https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/918/004918/000002/moments/thumb_013312.png Kim Roxie - Lamik Beauty 1678 https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/918/004918/video_KyRV4mk.mp4 2022-09-27T16:45:29.474117+00:00 https://entrepreneurtrial.getseeen.ai/moment/39783/ifeanyi-umejei-groovv https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/918/004918/000002/moments/thumb_013311.png Ifeanyi Umejei - Groovv 1678 https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/918/004918/video_KyRV4mk.mp4 2022-09-27T16:45:29.474117+00:00 https://entrepreneurtrial.getseeen.ai/moment/39795/toli-obikunle-sapiens-beverage-company https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/918/004918/000002/moments/thumb_013310.png Toli Obikunle - Sapiens Beverage Company 1678 https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/918/004918/video_KyRV4mk.mp4 2022-09-27T16:45:29.474117+00:00 https://entrepreneurtrial.getseeen.ai/video/4919/youve-got-a-great-invention-now-how-do-you-get-people-to-buy-it https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/919/004919/000001/thumb_003934.png You've Got a Great Invention. Now How Do You Get People to Buy It? his week's episode of Elevator Pitch features a founder with 20 years of experience in her industry...and an entrepreneur who's only 12 years old. The businesses on this episode are just as varied, spanning from fast food and mental health to job placement and fitness. Like most startups, each founder and business have some weaknesses and concerns for our investors: entrepreneur Shaun Neff, angel investor Kim Perell and Netflix co-founder Marc Randolph. For example, how does a brick-and-mortar fitness class intend to deal with the long-reaching effects of Covid? Which business partner in the mom-and-daughter nail-care team holds more weight? The first entrepreneur in the elevator faces an even simpler question: Who is his customer? While his patented french fry-holder makes it easier for customers at a fast-food restaurant to eat on the go, he's not actually selling to a McDonald's eater. He needs to sell to McDonald's management and other fast-food chains, which have different incentives and emphases than their customers. Will he satisfy the investors' concerns and have them bite on his invention? 2167 https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/919/004919/video_GTr7ryQ.mp4 2022-09-26T21:29:35.235343+00:00 https://entrepreneurtrial.getseeen.ai/moment/39777/scott-lindquist-dipit https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/919/004919/000001/moments/thumb_013301.png Scott Lindquist - Dipit 2167 https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/919/004919/video_GTr7ryQ.mp4 2022-09-26T21:29:35.235343+00:00 https://entrepreneurtrial.getseeen.ai/moment/39778/kirsti-stuart-barre-belle https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/919/004919/000001/moments/thumb_013300.png Kirsti Stuart - Barre Belle 2167 https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/919/004919/video_GTr7ryQ.mp4 2022-09-26T21:29:35.235343+00:00 https://entrepreneurtrial.getseeen.ai/moment/39779/lila-parish-glu https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/919/004919/000001/moments/thumb_013299.png Lila Parish - Glu 2167 https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/919/004919/video_GTr7ryQ.mp4 2022-09-26T21:29:35.235343+00:00 https://entrepreneurtrial.getseeen.ai/moment/39780/nancy-soni-pathmatch https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/919/004919/000001/moments/thumb_013298.png Nancy Soni - Pathmatch 2167 https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/919/004919/video_GTr7ryQ.mp4 2022-09-26T21:29:35.235343+00:00 https://entrepreneurtrial.getseeen.ai/video/4920/she-brought-a-baby-to-the-boardroom-while-asking-for-1-million-theres-no-way-that-workedright https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/920/004920/000001/thumb_003933.png She Brought a Baby to the Boardroom While Asking for $1 Million. There's No Way That Worked...Right? This week's episode of Elevator Pitch features founders with all sorts of fascinating backgrounds. One entrepreneur claims a 9-figure sale of his last business while another has only been in business for six months. Another entrepreneur has put 12 years into his business and now needs investment. For what he doesn't make quite clear. But perhaps the most interesting background comes from Amy Beckley of Proov (a tech company that monitors women's hormone levels to optimize fertility), who appeared on the first season of Elevator Pitch.  In her first Elevator Pitch appearance, Beckley failed to earn a deal because her business idea was too new and deemed too risky. Years later, she returned with proof of concept in the form of two small children. Will the kids help bolster her pitch or distract our investors? 1722 https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/920/004920/video_BXaZOLr.mp4 2022-09-26T20:55:56.587847+00:00 https://entrepreneurtrial.getseeen.ai/moment/39773/daniel-nelson-fulront-industries-pitch https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/920/004920/000001/moments/thumb_013294.png Daniel Nelson - Fulront Industries Pitch 1722 https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/920/004920/video_BXaZOLr.mp4 2022-09-26T20:55:56.587847+00:00 https://entrepreneurtrial.getseeen.ai/moment/39774/darian-braun-xcellerate35 https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/920/004920/000001/moments/thumb_013297.png Darian Braun - Xcellerate35 1722 https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/920/004920/video_BXaZOLr.mp4 2022-09-26T20:55:56.587847+00:00 https://entrepreneurtrial.getseeen.ai/moment/39775/mike-bernholtz-purair https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/920/004920/000001/moments/thumb_013296.png Mike Bernholtz - Purair 1722 https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/920/004920/video_BXaZOLr.mp4 2022-09-26T20:55:56.587847+00:00 https://entrepreneurtrial.getseeen.ai/moment/39776/amy-beckley-proov https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/920/004920/000001/moments/thumb_013295.png Amy Beckley - Proov 1722 https://d3ev5earl6dvd0.cloudfront.net/public-media/videos/004/920/004920/video_BXaZOLr.mp4 2022-09-26T20:55:56.587847+00:00
