The Final Round: Noir Tank

Hi Loves! I know I’ve been absent for a little bit, but it’s because my team and I have been preparing for Noir Tank. In a previous post, we were looking for five entrepreneurs with ideas and businesses. Two of them will receive $5,000 to invest in their companies over the next year.

We received so many wonderful applications and it was a really hard decision, but we were able to narrow it down to our final contestants. They are flying out this week to pitch to Denis and I in Los Angeles and we couldn’t be more excited.

This will be an annual occurrence, so make sure to stay informed about additional opportunities on the Noir Tank Instagram and Twitter.
