Friday, October 2 to Saturday, October 17, 2026. One camp in the Catskills, New York — 2.5 hours from NYC.

Who gets in?

Do I need a product already?

No. You need something you can build and sell inside two weeks. Everyone starts at $0.

Am I on camera the whole time?

Yes. From check-in to checkout, and so is everyone else. Pitch day is filmed in front of investors.

How does it end?

Pitch day is Friday, October 16 — one room, one shot. You check out Saturday, October 17 with revenue and a season of footage.
