Shark Tank’ but Make It Crypto:- Crypto price tracking site CoinMarketCap is diving into the world of reality TV, releasing a competition show called “Killer Whales” that is inspired by the popular TV series “Shark Tank.” The show will feature entrepreneurs who pitch their businesses to a panel of judges in the hopes of securing investment funding.
In partnership with the Web3 entertainment company Hello Labs, the new program will allow entrepreneurs to pitch their projects to the “Killer Whale” judges made up of entrepreneurs, influencers and founders of Web3 companies. Hello Labs was founded by Paul Caslin, producer of the MTV VMA Awards and the creator of the “Killer Whale” concept.
Killer Whales is a new way to experience the entrepreneurial energy of the Web3 space from the comfort of your own home. “This is a great opportunity to bring the power of the blockchain to everyone,” said Jonathan Isaac, chief marketing officer at CoinMarketCap, in a press release.
Beginning on May 2, interested parties can submit their applications to Hello.one and CoinMarketCap, and those chosen will go through several rounds of interviews in Hollywood. Filming for the show begins in June, and the show is slated for release across major streaming services and Hello Labs’ on-demand Hello TV service.
