The Ritz Group is proud of producing over 50 Shark Attacks, screening over 1,000 companies, helping over 150 companies pitch, and welcoming over 70 Sharks to judge. Our goal is to take Shark Attack Digital. We will conduct Digital Shark Attacks on the second Thursday of each month in 2021.

This will enable us to feature MORE companies and enhance the learning experience for non-presenting entrepreneurs who attend. More importantly, our "live" assessments will also help investors who want to contact presenting companies for a second date.

Finally, we want to showcase our Digital Shark Attack Stars. We do that three ways. 1) Based on the Shark Recommendations companies are featured on the Ritz Group Innovation Stars. 2) The Digital Shark Attack session is recorded and posted on the Ritz Group Website. 3) Digital Shark Attack presenters investor collateral is posted on Brite Idea Lab.

WAY IT WORKS:

Third Step

First Step

STEP 1: Register to attend or Pitch at one of the monthly online Digital Shark Attacks. This will be a 5 minute online pitch with a maximun of 5 slides. We will use GoToMeeting (Code# = 389-455-973) and you will need your camera on. Critiques will be from our sharks with questions from our audience members (entrepreneurs and investors)

Second Step

STEP 2: Post your Investor Collaeral online using the Digital Shark Attack Script. (Click here).

A. Complete your Entrepreneur profile, which is a BIO on you the founder. This is Who your are with links to Linked-In. It is your Business resume. Your Match Criteria defines your specific areas of interest or expertise.

B. Complete your business sub-profile with the investor collateral on your raise. Add your Company Logo, descriptions, website links, Executive Tear Sheet, Pitch Deck and any videos. Complete your contact informations and then your Match Criteria on your specific raise details and amounts. The goal is to MATCH with investors in this space and who invest in this type (Investor with check, Seed, Series A, B, C....) of private equity funding.

Third Step

Step 3. Apply to Pitch for the $100,000 Stock Award at our Angel Accelerator Graduation Shark Attack October 15, 2020

A. Submit your profile to the Digital Shark Attack team by tagging your Match Criteria KEYWORD/TAGS "Digital Shark Attack" (no quotes) You can also Search for the Digital Shark Attack team to submit your company.

B. Recommendation: Take you Investor Power Point and use the .PPT Add Audio Features to create an MP-4 of your presentation. This is really and easy process and you can re-record each slide several times to get it right and then Power Point will generate your final MP-4. When you are satisfied, post the MP-4 on in the Video section of your Company Sub-Profile. Now Investors and the $100K Digital Shark Attack Judges can review your power point presentation at their convenience - and multiple times. Below is an example using the classic Car Garage.

C. Members of the Digital Shark Attack team will FOLLOW you and invite you to pitch at Digital Shark Attack

D. The companies selected to Pitch for the $100,000 Stock Investment Shark Attack on October 15, 2020 must be a member of the Ritz Group
