Planet of the Apps Viewing Guide

Planet of the Apps is a television show produced by Apple Music. It is similar to the popular
television show Shark Tank. Entrepreneurs with new app ideas have 60 seconds to persuade a
set of business coaches that they have the next best app idea. If they can persuade the
coaches in 60 seconds of their idea, they are allowed more time to show and demonstrate the
app. If a coach decides the app is still worth their time, they coach the entrepreneur for 6 weeks
and prepare them to pitch their idea to a large investment company (so large they were the first
to invest in Snapchat).

This is very similar to how you will only have 90 seconds to persuade the class of your business
idea. In this episode you will see one really well done business pitch and one that struggles. Use
these to help guide you in thinking about your own business pitch. Answer the questions below
