Think Tank Shark Tank

Think Tank Shark Tank Award Competition

Do you have what it takes to stand before an audience of the world's top freedom advocates, influencers, supporters, and a panel of “sharks” to pitch your up-and-coming organization in only five minutes? Are you prepared for a group of potential supporters who will quiz you on the intricacies of your plans?

In the spirit of endorsing new, innovative organizations, the Think Tank Shark Tank Competition will be hosted at each Regional Liberty Forum. This contest highlights three contestants who each have five minutes to pitch their organization’s mission and goals, with five minutes to respond to questions before a panel of judges, the sharks. Each Think Tank Shark Tank winner will receive $15,000 in funding for their pitch!

If you want to gain support for your up-and-coming organization and you believe you would be a good fit for the competition, please contact Hunter Rauch, Associate Director of Institute Relations, at Hunter.Rauch@AtlasNetwork.org.
