OAKLAND, Calif. (KGO) -- ABC's "Shark Tank" was in Oakland Wednesday, looking for people with perfect pitches.

The sharks are always searching for the next big thing. Those hoping to land a spot on the show, and get the national exposure and funding that comes with it, had just 90 seconds to make their pitches.

Business owners presented everything from inserts for women's shoes to an app that lets you know where your favorite food truck is parked.

That app is called Trunger, a contraction of the words truck and hunger.

You can watch "Shark Tank" on ABC7 Friday nights at 8 p.m.
