'Shark Tank' Casting Call Set For Atlanta

VININGS, GA — Are you a budding entrepreneur who just needs a little bigger bankroll to get your million-dollar idea off the ground? Are you also OK with the possibility that idea could be mocked on national television?

If so, "Shark Tank" is calling. The ABC reality show, on which celebrity investors hear business pitches then make offers if they're interested, is holding an open casting call Sunday, April 29, at The Battery Atlanta.

The call will be held staring at noon inside the Comcast building, at 2065 Circle 75 Pkwy., Atlanta, GA 30339. There, you'll have the chance to make a one-minute pitch of your business or product idea to a member of the casting time — just like you would if you were on the show.

"Come prepared to wow and dazzle us," the show said in its casting call.

Those interested should arrive having filled out an application packet, which is available here.

Security may check bags and applicants are responsible for their own parking. Numbered wristbands will be handed out from noon-2 p.m., so there's no reason to camp out the night before. Pitches will begin at 1 p.m.

Anyone with more questions may email casting@sharktanktv.com.
