NBC’s Funded is now casting.
NBC’s new TV series Funded, is a new reality show that will feature entrepreneurs with start-up companies battling for an investment in their business. The show will feature Tyra Banks, Rob Dyrdek and Rohan Oza, they will work as mentors on the business competition show.
“Rob, Tyra and Rohan offer a level of business experience and expertise that is priceless to a burgeoning entrepreneur. They are perfectly suited to be at the helm of this series as it sets out to shine a light on extraordinary start-ups, provide invaluable guidance to innovators and give financial backing to the most deserving and revolutionary ideas that will shape our future,” said Universal Television’s president Meredith Ahr.
The show will guide entrepreneurs of young companies, as they fight for up to $1 million cash infusion in what NBC is called “the first business competition series built around an investment fund.”
According to Variety, “In each episode, start-up companies will be paired with one of the three mentors — brand ambassador, media mogul and former supermodel Banks; venture capitalist Dyrdek; or brand builder Oza. At the end of each episode, the start-ups and their mentors will face a venture capitalist in front of a live audience and convince them that their company could be the next great company if they get the fund’s backing and that $1 million cash infusion. Only one start-up per episode can get funded.”
