00:00Welcome to the elevator.
00:03Hi, my name is Brian Horowitz. I'm a vet. I'm a serial entrepreneur and small business owner.
00:08I've started and sold several successful businesses with my career.
00:11Creative Wagon makes outdoor lifestyle product specialized for your family and your pet.
00:16I'm not here for your money. I'm here for your expertise, partnership, and help grow this company.
00:22So my question to you is, who's ready to roll?
00:28Very impressive. Serial entrepreneurs, a lot of businesses started.
00:35Seemed like it was a great idea, but he doesn't want our money.
00:40Yeah, that absolutely rubs me the wrong way.
00:43I mean, who goes into a pitch and goes, I don't want your money.
00:46I mean, listen, if you want to hire a consultant, that's a different thing.
00:50Obviously, the guy knows what he's doing. If he's sold companies, he's built companies.
00:53Maybe he's not strapped for cash, but maybe he's stuck at that like level five.
00:57And maybe one of us can help him get to a level 10.
00:59Well, maybe he should have offered some percentage for our mentorship.
01:03It was open ended. I just want mentorship on a show like this.
01:07You come in with some sort of ask. Yeah, it's kind of loaded.
01:10Maybe that was part of his pitch to get the doors to open.
01:12Yeah. You know, listen, there is intriguing things about this.
01:14And he kind of had me at the scale of the business, but I'm not in the market for wasting my time.
01:19All right. Were you guys ready to vote? Let's vote.
01:28Attention, Brian. Your pitch has been.
01:38Denied. I'm very bummed.
01:41I was really hoping to get a deal. I think they definitely missed out.
01:45They missed out on a creative company with entrepreneur that has a hard drive and accessible company with my team.
01:53And you know what? I'm a phone call away if they change their mind.
