Posted By: How May I Help You NC on 03/17/2014

  

Shark Tank's Daymond John is back again to help judge the 2014 Miller Light Tap The Future® Competition. Formally known as the MillerCoors Urban Entrepreneur Series, this unique business competition will give away $300,000 in prize money to entrepreneurs 21 or older with the best business ideas. It also offers entrepreneurs the opportunity to attend once-in-a-life-time business seminars, live pitch opportunities, and more.


The process

After submitting their business ideas, just twenty-five semi-finalists will be selected to compete in live pitch events in Atlanta, Dallas, Los Angeles, Miami and Philadelphia starting June 3. John and a panel of expert judges will select one business in each city to win $20,000 and advance to the national finals. Afterwards, the five finalists will present before a national panel of judges in Chicago in August. One team will win the $200,000 grand prize.


Here's what the winners of last year's competition had to say:

"Miller Lite Tap the Future was an amazing experience. Not only did we win a total of $280,000 but we met Daymond John and received great feedback from some of the top minds in business. We’ve been friends since college and always knew we had a great business idea. Thanks to Miller Lite, we can now take our business to the next level!” -- Sean O’Brien and Evan Wray, founders of TextPride

How to apply

Miller Lite Tap the Future® will partner with the Black Enterprise Entrepreneurship Conference, a premier business conference and networking event taking place May 14-17 in Columbus, Ohio.
