Jack said: “It’s been a whirlwind over the last few months. We have started several different business’s up, doubling the money within tight timeframes. We’ve made it to this exciting round where we have until 5pm on Tuesday 10th to double our money, we’ve challenged ourselves with starting a brand new coffee brand, Need Drinks. from scratch.

We are releasing a new product to the market on Tuesday which is the last day of the competition. If we can get in sales from launch, we might just have a chance to make it through."
With complete freedom on how to spend their starting pot, contestants from the show must devise smart strategies, bold hustles and ingenious ideas to turn their initial sum into a substantial fortune.
As the competition progresses, each round increases the cash target that teams must achieve and extends the time they have to do it. The stakes are high, and the pressure is on as the clock counts down with each passing round. By the final round, weeks later, the remaining duo that makes the most money in the given time will win a large cash prize to add to their final pot.
