Welcome back to Entrepreneur Elevator Pitch. This is the first episode of season 10, and things kick off with a bang.
As longtime viewers know, this show challenges contestants to step inside our elevator, where they have just 60 seconds to pitch their company to a camera. A board of investors is watching the pitch on a monitor, and if they like what they hear, the elevator doors open. The entrepreneur steps inside the boardroom for an intense negotiation that (hopefully) ends with a life-changing investment. If the investors don't like what they hear? The elevator is sent back down to the ground floor, and the entrepreneurs leave empty-handed.

In season 10, veteran investors Marc Randolph (co-founder of Netflix) and Kim Perell (serial entrepreneur and CEO of 100.co) return and are joined by a rotating team of successful investors and business titans fighting to make the next big deal.
On this episode, Randolph and Perell are joined by Pinky Cole, founder and CEO of Slutty Vegan. Watch as our board of investors is asked for something that no entrepreneur has ever requested, and see why an entrepreneur is called back into the boardroom after being sent down for the first time in show history.
