In this short pitch, Dan Novaes describes a New Zealand‑based, skill‑based floating‑platform game where participants pay $3 to shoot a ball through a small hole; a successful shot wins a $10,000 jackpot. The business operates with a minimal setup—a floating platform, one employee, and a diver who retrieves balls—and reportedly grosses about $650,000 annually, delivering $200,000‑$300,000 in profit. Novaes highlights the low capital requirements, high volume of play, and viral, lottery‑like appeal that drives lines of hopeful players, including an 11‑year‑old winner. He points out that the concept has not yet entered the U.S. market, presenting a first‑mover opportunity to dominate a fun, shareable, and profitable venture. The pitch ends with a call to follow UBK for more entrepreneurial stories.
