“Dragons’ Den,” CBC’s hit entrepreneurial reality show, is hitting the road for a coast to coast tour looking for the next great product or business idea.
The 2014 audition tour will be visiting more than 30 cities from coast-to-coast in search of enthusiastic entrepreneurs hoping for a chance to enter the Den and make a deal with a Dragon. The audition tour is open to the public and kicks off in Toronto at the CBC atrium (25 John Street) on January 18th. The audition tour welcomes participants of all ages with no prior television experience required. With the highly-rated “All-Student” episode, “Dragons’ Den” continues to seek out and support young Canadian entrepreneurs.
Aspiring entrepreneurs should be prepared to pitch their concept to the “Dragons’ Den” producers in five minutes or less. If they show the producers that they’ve got the chops to land financial backing for their business venture, they could be invited into the Den to brave the Dragons. Prospective pitchers are encouraged to apply online and bring a completed application form to the audition.
