Will Investors Go Wild for a Hologram Zoo? Find Out on the Season Premiere of 'Elevator Pitch.'

On the season 12 premiere of Entrepreneur Elevator Pitch , contestants hoping to transform their businesses and lives must convince a panel of elite investors that their dreams are worth making a reality.

And they only have 60 seconds to do it.

This season, the stakes are higher, and the deals are bigger — investors are ready to throw down to get their piece of the next world-changing idea .

A quick refresher on the rules of our show: Every episode challenges contestants to step inside our elevator and pitch their company in just 60 seconds. A board of investors watches, and if they like what they hear, the elevator doors open, and the entrepreneur has the chance to win a life-changing investment. But if the investors don't like what they hear, the elevator heads to the ground floor, and their shot at glory ends.

Watch as the sparks fly and the money flows on the bank-busting season premiere of Elevator Pitch !
