Founders pitch
Local PSL / Treasure Coast businesses, side hustles, apps, products — bring the ask, the demo, and the guts.
St Lucie Shark Tank is the backyard-energy pitch night for local founders and the audience who show up for the show. Pants optional. Ambition required.
On the lot
Real Camp No Pants setup — the screen goes up, the lot gets weird, founders pitch.
Pre-show · from 6:00 PM
Before the pitches start at 8:00 PM — dueling pianos, outdoor pavilion energy, Camp No Pants chaos. Watch the full preview below.
What it is
Think folding-table judges, cold drinks, and ideas that might actually ship — hosted on the Camp No Pants lot in Port St. Lucie. This is a new local format from NoPantsProfits / Richard Shillington. Not a TV franchise. Not a VC roadshow. Just people who build stuff, pitching to people who can help.
Local PSL / Treasure Coast businesses, side hustles, apps, products — bring the ask, the demo, and the guts.
Local operators, investors, and connectors who can write checks, open doors, or say “hard pass” with love.
Come watch the pitches, cheer the chaos, meet the crew. RSVP as audience and we’ll send the date + where to show up.
Fun, slightly trashy, high-energy. Flip-flops beat wing tips. Serious about deals — unserious about dress code.
Independent local event. St Lucie Shark Tank / Camp No Pants Shark Tank is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the Shark Tank television program or its owners. No TV logos. No fake claims. Just Port St. Lucie doing its thing.
How to pitch
Short process. Clear ask. We’ll follow up if there’s a fit for an upcoming session.
Founder name + one-liner for the business. Where you’re based (PSL love, but we listen).
Money? Mentorship? Customers? A co-founder? Co-promotion? Be specific — sharks hate fuzzy asks.
If selected, you get a slot. Bring a tight pitch (think a few minutes, not a TED Talk), any demo, and thick skin.
Live feedback on the Camp No Pants lot. Deals if there’s chemistry. Stories either way.
Location
Same town energy. Different hustles.
FAQ
No. Independent local event in Port St. Lucie. Same general idea (pitch → feedback → possible deals), totally different brand and production. We don’t use TV show logos or claim any affiliation.
It’s a vibe, not a dress code ordinance. Wear what lets you pitch confidently. Flip-flops encouraged. Full boardroom cosplay gently mocked.
Interest applications are free. If a session ever has a fee (venue, production, etc.), we’ll say so upfront before you commit — no surprise invoices.
