Tyra Banks to Star in NBC Entrepreneur Competition Series Funded
NBC has placed an order for a new competition series that will pit start-up companies against each other for the chance at winning a $1 million cash infusion.
Funded will take a page out of The Voice's playbook by pairing rising entrepreneurs with one of three business mentors in supermodel Tyra Banks, skateboarder Rob Dyrdek and health-food mogul Rohan Oza.
The series marks Banks' first major return to television since America's Top Model and her talk show The FAB Life.
