Dallas Social Startup Wins Weekly National Competition

KANSAS CITY, Mo., April 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Dream Big America

(www.DreamBigAmerica.us), the first-ever "reality radio show" hosting

a weekly startup pitch competition, announces TangoTab as this past

week's winner. Dream Big America also reveals the competition's April

22nd startup contestants from New York, Omaha, and Missouri.

TangoTab (www.TangoTab.com) based in Dallas, TX and presented by

founder and CEO Andre Angel, is a phone app that provides restaurant

offers to diners and a free meal to a person in need for every

redeemed offer. To date, TangoTab has donated over 468,000 meals. On

April 15th, Angel pitched against Ficks (www.FicksDrink.com), an all

natural cocktail fortifier based in San Francisco, CA, and Blade

Butter, a razor oil company from Odessa, FL. TangoTab secured the

highest votes among the three startups, and will continue on to

compete in the Finals Round on April 29th against last week's winner,

Treeson Spring Water, and the victor of next week's competition.

"TangoTab is an inspiring social startup," said the Dream Big America

host Doug Stephan. "They are just one example of the immense good that

entrepreneurs provide to our society."

On April 15th, three more startups will compete to join Treeson Spring

Water and TangoTab in the Finals Round: Scough, Nobl, and

HallExchange.

Scough (www.WearAScough.com) based and manufactured in Brooklyn, NY is

a fashionable scarf that incorporates an activated carbon filter to

ward of germs. Scough will be presented by co-founder Alexa Nigro.

entrepreneurial movement spreading across the country, Dream Big

America strives to educate and support startups, all while providing
