2021 SEMA Launch Pad – Episode 1

The SEMA Launch Pad is the automotive specialty equipment’s ultimate competition for budding entrepreneurs who are ready to introduce their products to a worldwide audience. From a pool of more than 200 applicants, 15 automotive-inspired entrepreneurs have made it to the semi-finals in Las Vegas, NV. Watch all the action as the contestants battle it for a spot in the Top 5 where they will pitch their business ideas at the 2021 SEMA Show in front of a panel of iconic industry judges for a top prize valued at $100,000. Judges include industry icons Myles Kovacs, co-founder of Dub Magazine and TIS Wheels; Jared Hare, founder of Addictive Desert Designs; Alex Parker, Owner and CMO of Redline Detection; and Chip Foose, founder of Foose Designs. While the competition has supported young creators since 2013, the age limit has been removed to make it easier for more participants to qualify. This year there’s more cash prizes, and more participants than ever that will be featured in SEMA’s publications and social media channels.
