The popular T-V show “Shark Tank” will host a casting call in central Iowa later this month. To start off season number six, it’ll be the first time the Emmy-nominated show has held its search for participants in Des Moines. The show has nothing to do with actual sharks. It’s all about business and pitching ideas. Aspiring entrepreneurs appear before a panel of billionaires, venture capitalists and real estate moguls, looking for funding.

The casting call will be held on Monday, July 14th, at the Iowa Events Center. Organizers say the first 500 entrepreneurs in line are guaranteed to be seen.
