Dragons’ Den Series Information
| Budding entrepreneurs get three minutes to pitch their business ideas to five multi-millionaires who are willing to invest their own cash, time and expertise to kick-start the business. After the pitch the Dragons have the opportunity to ask questions about the venture. The entrepreneurs don't always have to answer, but of course, what they choose not to address could very well affect the outcome. The pitch is over when each of the Dragons has declared, "I'm out", or when they secure the full investment that they are asking for. Evan Davis presents. |
