‘Shark Tank’ Casting Call Tomorrow in Maine

Almost time to line up!

ABC's show 'Shark Tank' is looking for Maine entrepreneurs. Tomorrow is the day! The first 500 people in line will be guaranteed a chance to pitch their business, product or idea to a member show’s production staff.

You'll have about a minute to make your 'elevator pitch.' Producers will be paying most attention to the person making the pitch. Enthusiasm and vision is the key. There's no limit on the number of Portland applicants who could be chosen for the show.

To participate in the casting call, you must have filled out an application in advance. You can get one online at abc.go.com/shows/shark-tank/applications. You must be a legal U.S. resident, 18 or older, have no prior felonies or pending charges for any crime and must be willing to submit to a background check. The casting call is at the Italian Heritage Center at 40 Westland Ave. Doors open at 9 a.m.

Back in 2012 cousins from Scarborough, Sabin Lomac and Jim Tselikis, appeared on the show. They received $55,000 from real estate queen Barbara Corcoran for their Cousins Maine Lobster food truck. Their business is now a national franchise with 10 locations.
