What it is

A pitch night with Florida yard energy

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.

Founders pitch

Local PSL / Treasure Coast businesses, side hustles, apps, products — bring the ask, the demo, and the guts.

Sharks decide

Local operators, investors, and connectors who can write checks, open doors, or say “hard pass” with love.

Audience welcome

Come watch the pitches, cheer the chaos, meet the crew. RSVP as audience and we’ll send the date + where to show up.

No Pants vibe

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

Get on the lot

Short process. Clear ask. We’ll follow up if there’s a fit for an upcoming session.

Tell us who you are

Founder name + one-liner for the business. Where you’re based (PSL love, but we listen).

Name the ask

Money? Mentorship? Customers? A co-founder? Co-promotion? Be specific — sharks hate fuzzy asks.

Show up ready

If selected, you get a slot. Bring a tight pitch (think a few minutes, not a TED Talk), any demo, and thick skin.

Swim, pitch, profit

Live feedback on the Camp No Pants lot. Deals if there’s chemistry. Stories either way.

For sharks / investors

FAQ

Straight answers

Is this the TV show Shark Tank?

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.

Do I really have to wear no pants?

It’s a vibe, not a dress code ordinance. Wear what lets you pitch confidently. Flip-flops encouraged. Full boardroom cosplay gently mocked.

Is there a fee to apply or pitch?

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.

Lot safety waiver

I am at least 18 years old (21+ if I will drink alcohol). I understand this is an outdoor private lot hang / local pitch night at Camp No Pants in Port St. Lucie with tents, vehicles, a camper, uneven ground, insects/fire ants, and a retaining wall and canal at the edge of the property. I will stay away from the wall and canal, will not swim, will wear closed-toe shoes, and will watch my step after dark. Alcohol may be BYOB and/or host-provided and is NOT sold; I will not drink if under 21. I voluntarily assume the inherent outdoor and social-event risks of attending. To the fullest extent allowed by Florida law, I release and hold harmless Richard L. Shillington, Camp No Pants, and event hosts from claims arising from ordinary negligence related to my attendance. I understand this does not waive claims for intentional misconduct or other rights that cannot be waived under Florida law. I type my full legal name below to show I read and agree. I will not bring anyone under 18 onto the lot if alcohol is present, and I am responsible for anyone I bring.
