Today we bring you Benjamin, a flash deals app that forces you to make a purchase decision in 60-seconds or less. In a space that's thick with competition from contenders like Groupon and Living Social, Benjamin in 5-months has grown to 20-thousand daily active users. But is this something that investors will find appealing? Find out on today's episode of The Pitch.

10. Dollar Beard Club
Featuring Marvin Liao, Howie Diamond and Ryan Hoover
Today we bring you Dollar Beard Club, the Los Angeles based e-commerce startup that sells product to bearded men on a subscription basis. They have killer traction in the 4-months they've been live, built off the success of their YouTube videos gone viral. But is it an investable company? Find out on The Pitch.
Listen as DBC founder Chris Stoikos pitches his startup to Marvin Liao, Howie Diamond and Ryan Hoover.
Marvin Liao runs 500 Startups, a San Francisco based accelerator program that invests in seed deals and helps companies grow, reach product market fit, and find investors.
Howie runs Ranch Ventures, a new VC firm investing at the seed stage.
Ryan Hoover is the founder of Product Hunt and knows more about building a scalable consumer company than most, so we thought we'd get his take as well.
