On each weekly episode of Entrepreneur Elevator Pitch, entrepreneurs hoping for funding learn just how crucial the first 60 seconds of a business pitch are. From stumbling through handwritten notes to reciting a minute-long, well-rehearsed spiel, the contestants' presentation styles vary just as much as their unique product ideas. But as you'll see, a poised pitch isn't the be-all, end-all of getting invited into the boardroom.

Episode four is filled with new takes on old products and industries, from a handheld device that puts out fires to a carpal-tunnel defying tool to a multi-purpose baseball cap. Which entrepreneurs will the judges back, and which will they send packing? To see their fresh ideas for yourself, check out the episode above, then support your favorites on Indiegogo.
