The sharks are circling, and on October 29th they’re gathering at Mr. Anthony’s Banquet Center for a night where bold ideas meet real opportunity.

YBI Shark Tank puts entrepreneurs in the spotlight as they pitch their innovations, answer the Sharks’ questions, and compete for support that can change their businesses' trajectory. The room fills with energy as the audience cheers, reacts, and becomes part of the momentum that drives local entrepreneurship forward.

If you want to witness the excitement, the creativity, and the high‑stakes action up close, now’s the time to secure your tickets. Don’t miss the night the sharks make their move.
