Entrepreneur Elevator Pitch: Season 3, Episode 8: Your Valuation Is Not Based on Users The investors have a healthy skepticism of bold claims.

This week's Entrepreneur Elevator Pitch introduces a crop of entrepreneurs who run the gamut of business ideas. Every week, the judges demonstrate they will accept an uncertain pitch, if there is the possibility of filling out an unfamiliar space which is not overcrowded.
