00:00Welcome to the elevator.
00:03Over half of Americans aren't sensitive and they don't even know it.
00:06And it's costing us over $80 billion per year in healthcare.
00:09And it's not just skin deep. It is sensitive skin, sensitivities, and a sensitive system
00:14in addition to overall emotional wellness.
00:17As a super sensitive, eczema warrior, autoimmune conqueror, and chemical engineer,
00:21I know what it feels like to experience skin woes, hair woes, and to look like I'm six months pregnant
00:27while traveling the world as a scientist and innovation lead.
00:30My dream job. But I figured it out.
00:33Hence the creation of Pollination Apothecary Sensitive Focus Plant-Based Skin Care.
00:37$300,000 investment gained 10% equity and be a part of helping the sensitive bloom into wellness
00:43so they can look and feel their best.
00:45Thank you so much for this opportunity. I'm super excited.
00:49What happened?
00:57I think that she left out a lot of important information that she had time to tell us.
01:03Yeah, we don't know revenue. We don't know why she got her $3 million valuation.
01:08It's always so frustrating because you know you have 60 seconds to make the pitch
01:11and you must as an entrepreneur maximize that time.
01:15She pitched it to feel a bit short.
01:17I think she had more potential to bring out more of the exciting details about the business.
01:21All right, are you guys ready to vote?
01:22Let's vote.
01:30Attention, Carly.
01:34Your pitch has been denied.
01:42I'm disappointed, but I'm grateful for the experience for sure.
01:47This is my biggest pitch opportunity thus far and so I think there's still much to learn.
