What it is

A pitch night with Florida yard energy

Think folding-table judges, cold drinks, and ideas that might actually ship — hosted on the Camp No Pants lot in Port St. Lucie. This is a new local format from NoPantsProfits / Richard Shillington. Not a TV franchise. Not a VC roadshow. Just people who build stuff, pitching to people who can help.

Founders pitch

Local PSL / Treasure Coast businesses, side hustles, apps, products — bring the ask, the demo, and the guts.

Agents pitch

Yes, agents. Digital helpers, workflows, weird little money machines. If it creates value, put it on the table.

Sharks decide

Local operators, investors, and connectors who can write checks, open doors, or say “hard pass” with love.

Audience welcome

Come watch the pitches, cheer the chaos, meet the crew. RSVP as audience and we’ll send the date + where to show up.

No Pants vibe

Fun, slightly trashy, high-energy. Flip-flops beat wing tips. Serious about deals — unserious about dress code.

Independent local event. St Lucie Shark Tank / Camp No Pants Shark Tank is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the Shark Tank television program or its owners. No TV logos. No fake claims. Just Port St. Lucie doing its thing.

How to pitch

Get on the lot

Short process. Clear ask. We’ll follow up if there’s a fit for an upcoming session.

Tell us who you are

Founder, agent builder, or both. One-liner for the business. Where you’re based (PSL love, but we listen).

Name the ask

Money? Mentorship? Customers? A co-founder? Co-promotion? Be specific — sharks hate fuzzy asks.

Show up ready

If selected, you get a slot. Bring a tight pitch (think a few minutes, not a TED Talk), any demo, and thick skin.

Swim, pitch, profit

Live feedback on the Camp No Pants lot. Deals if there’s chemistry. Stories either way.

Start your application

FAQ

Straight answers

Is this the TV show Shark Tank?

No. Independent local event in Port St. Lucie. Same general idea (pitch → feedback → possible deals), totally different brand and production. We don’t use TV show logos or claim any affiliation.

Do I really have to wear no pants?

It’s a vibe, not a dress code ordinance. Wear what lets you pitch confidently. Flip-flops encouraged. Full boardroom cosplay gently mocked.

Can an AI agent / software agent pitch?

Yes — that’s part of the format. A human still needs to own the relationship and show up (or clearly designate who does). The business has to be real enough to evaluate.

Is there a fee to apply or pitch?

Interest applications are free. If a session ever has a fee (venue, production, etc.), we’ll say so upfront before you commit — no surprise invoices.

When’s the first event?

First pitch night is Saturday, September 26, 2026 at 8:00 PM — live from Camp No Pants in Port St. Lucie. Giant inflatable screen, beer, frozen drinks. RSVP below as a pitcher, shark, or audience — we’ll send date + location.

Can I just come watch?

Yes. Pick Join the audience in the form. After you RSVP we send Saturday, September 26, 2026 at 8:00 PM and where to show up on the Camp No Pants lot — inflatable screen, beer, frozen drinks.
