Billion Dollar Idea

Ben kicks off his search for the next billion-dollar idea by jet-setting across the country to meet three creative entrepreneurs; their DIY inventions offer new takes on the paintbrush, the sink strainer, and even a crazy bathroom device.

Ben travels to the homes of three entrepreneurs who have created products that eliminate the iron, straighten the shirt collar and upgrade the house slipper.

Ben takes a bite into a stuffed waffle maker, a new kind of butter dispenser and a cooking utensil that toasts soft tacos.

Ben and his team head to meet the co-founders of a condiment company, a food scientist and a college student who are all vying for the chance to compete against the other top five competitors for Ben's investment.

The top six entrepreneurs meet and compete in an elevator pitch to a billion-dollar investment banker; after reading personal letters that reveal hardships from their past, Ben is faced with a tough decision about who to eliminate.

Ben visits his friend and fellow entrepreneur Zac Brown; he also tests the five entrepreneurs to see who can lead, who can follow and who can grab the bull by the horns in a lively interview challenge.
