vitaminwater® is launching the
crowdfunding-inspired program, Project Hustle, and calling all
aspiring entrepreneurs to enter by delivering their business pitch
via an “elevator” or online
Project Hustle, the crowdfunding-inspired program by
vitaminwater, is calling all aspiring entrepreneurs,
artists-in-training, dreamers and future film directors to prepare
their elevator pitch for the opportunity to see that their dreams
can become reality and the chance to win up to a total of $500,000
(across ten finalists) to bring them to life.
Beginning March 12 through April 30, applicants can submit their
business idea at www.projecthustle.com. Alternatively, invited
guests can deliver their business pitch live, March 18-21, at The
FADER FORT in Austin, in a unique “elevator” activation that’s a
first for this event. This simulated elevator is designed to
capture and record an elevator pitch in a setting that physically
represents the theme of Project Hustle.
Creators can submit their ideas in the following five
categories: music, film, fashion, art and technology, and the top
ten best and brightest ideas will be chosen by a panel of
judges.
“Project Hustle is our way of supporting the dedication and
tenacity of our most driven fans, hustling to make their goals and
dreams reality,” explained vitaminwater Senior Brand
Manager, Ryan Robertson. “vitaminwater hustled its way from
a small start-up in Queens, so we understand first-hand that hard
work is the only path to success, and now we want to support those
at the beginning of their journey. There’s no better place to
launch this program than at The FADER FORT – the epicenter of
creativity and innovation.”
This summer, vitaminwater will put the power into the
public’s hands to decide which finalists will potentially have
their projects funded up to $50,000 each, giving them a chance to
come one step closer to their ultimate goal. Beginning in July,
participating vitaminwater and vitaminwater zero™
bottle caps will contain a code that people can enter online at
www.projecthustle.com. Each code holds a specific value, which can
be allocated to one of the ten finalists’ projects. Backers
can be choosers, right?
No entrepreneur has made it to the top without some help, so as
a thank you, every valid code entered wins a prize that is tied to
the value of the code, ranging from: vitaminwater, tablets,
wireless speakers, streaming music and video subscriptions, tickets
to top festivals, and much more.
