On the new episode of "Elevator Pitch," our investors need to contend with some serious trust issues.

00:00 - Intro
01:07 - Zach Barney, founder of Mobly, a mobile sales tool that quickly scans and enriches leads, records contacts, and logs activity directly into the user's CRM.
12:34 - Rick Deacon, founder of Interlock, a suite of DeFi cybersecurity products to protect consumers and enterprises.
21:55 - Alexandra Baker, founder of Home With Alexandra and their condiment Pikliz (pronounced "pick-lees"), a pickled slaw native to Haiti and the West Indies.

Tech entrepreneurs face a particular obstacle: how do you explain your complex solution to a complicated problem in simple terms that all investors can understand?

It isn't easy — but nothing is easy when you sign up to appear on Entrepreneur Elevator Pitch. This is the show where entrepreneurs have just 60 seconds to pitch their company to a board of investors in the hopes of landing a life-changing investment.

One tech founder wows the board with his 60 seconds but leaves some heads a bit scrambled. "I need the fifth-grade explanation of that pitch!" laughs Pinky Cole, founder and CEO of Slutty Vegan. Marc Randolph, co-founder of Netflix, agrees: "You're not the only one feeling a little lost — he managed to fit more buzzwords into that minute than I've ever heard before."

Can he overcome this hurdle, plus the small question of whether or not he has a criminal background? Find out by watching the new episode of Elevator Pitch!
