MrBeast is on the hunt for a small business owner.
He’s teaming up with frequent partner Shopify to fly an entrepreneur out to his headquarters in North Carolina, where they’ll be featured in one of his videos–and get some cash to grow their business.
MrBeast put out the call on TikTok, where he invited users to #PitchMrBeast by dueting his video and talking about their fledgling companies. The contest is only open to people 18 or order from the U.S. (excluding New York), United Kingdom, and Canada (excluding Québec). Duets must be posted by April 24 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern to be eligible.

The entrepreneur who’s selected must have “an existing consumer product business or business plan to sell a tangible product online,” per the official contest rules.
Entrants will be judged by MrBeast and a panel of Shopify team members. They’ll collectively judge based on several criteria, including the overall creativity and quality of submissions, the viability of entrepreneurs’ proposed business plans, and the “quality, clarity and logic” of their products.
MrBeast ran a similar contest with Shopify last October, where the duo gave away $100,000 to the best business pitches.
“The biggest YouTuber IN THE WORLD is looking for business pitches over on TikTok,” Shopify president Harley Finkelstein tweeted about #PitchMrBeast. “One winner is going to get to fly out to meet @MrBeast, appear in a video, and learn all about his business empire.”
The winner will be notified via TikTok direct message by April 28.
