The CBC’s wildly popular reality series Dragon’s Den returns tonight for its 5th(?) season. This show is every entrepreneur’s wet dream. As long as your pitch gets aired you are almost sure to find success. Having a dragon, or all of them, invest in your company is the bonus.
If you haven’t seen the show, aspiring entrepreneurs pitch their business ideas to a panel of five very rich people. We have (not in the same order as the photo above) Jim Treliving, the owner of the Boston Pizza empire as well as a couple of sports teams, Bruce Coxen, founder of the online dating service Lavalife, Kevin O’Leary, the founder of O’Leary Funds and CBC personality, fan favourite Arlene Dickinson who is a recent author and Marketing Guru and finally Robert Herjavec founder of an internet security firm.
All of these dragons have been in the entrepreneur’s shoes before so the negotiating can be pretty entertaining. Some ideas that are pitched are brilliant and some are obviously aired for some comic relief.
I hope to be on Dragon’s Den one day, but that’s a post for another day.
Dragon’s Den airs every Wednesday night on CBC at 9:00pm.
