While most pitch competitions stick to the boardroom, Go Fund Yourself is shaking things up with a nationally broadcast format that’s part Shark Tank, part Kickstarter — and all about creating real connections between entrepreneurs and the people who believe in them. On Thursday, May 15 at 7:00 PM ET, Go Fund Yourself aired its 16th episode on Cheddar TV, spotlighting two game-changing startups that are tackling two very different — but equally urgent — global challenges.
From Boca to the Boardroom
Go Fund Yourself is no stranger to South Florida. With its creator Rory Cutaia and recurring Titan David Meltzer and Jayson Waller frequently making appearances in the Boca Raton and South Florida area for business and philanthropic events, the show has built a loyal following among local innovators, startup founders, and investors. Its unique platform combines mentorship, live funding opportunities, and national exposure — and continues to feature some of the most inspiring early-stage ventures from across the country.
Riemann Computing: Thinking Beyond Earth
First up is Riemann Computing, a Michigan-based company born from aerospace startup Stark Drones. This bold tech venture is developing FAA-compliant drone systems, satellite technologies, lidar, and high-performance computing platforms — all aimed at improving global infrastructure and communication. With the satellite and drone market booming, Riemann is positioning itself as a forward-thinking player in space tech and data innovation.
FEN-X: Fighting the Fentanyl Crisis, One Test at a Time
On the other end of the spectrum is FEN-X, a startup committed to saving lives amid the opioid crisis. Their fast-acting fentanyl detection strips give everyday people — from college students to first responders — the ability to identify deadly traces of fentanyl before tragedy strikes. With more than 70,000 fentanyl-related deaths in the U.S. last year, according to the CDC, the need for accessible harm-reduction tools like FEN-X is more critical than ever.
Not Your Typical Pitch Show
Unlike traditional investor shows, Go Fund Yourself gives founders access to a national audience and the chance to raise funding live through a hybrid crowdfunding model. Entrepreneurs pitch in front of three influential business leaders known as “Titans,” while viewers can also vote, engage, and support in real time.
Episode 16 features:
- Rory Cutaia – Boca-based tech founder, CEO of VERB Technology, and creator of the show.
- David Meltzer – Speaker, author, and former CEO of Leigh Steinberg Sports Agency.
- Jayson Waller – Founder of multiple companies and bestselling author known for his raw, blue-collar approach to success.
Together, these Titans guide founders not just in raising money — but in building meaningful businesses with staying power.
