First Episode of Dragon's Den
Canadian entrepreneurs now have a reality-tv show to follow the ups and downs of other business owners trying to get funding.
New TV show in Canada boasts an American Idol-like set-up to match entrepreneurs with investors.
I missed the first episode, and the second. I caught a bit of the third, but not enough to whet my appetite. It seems that CBC has had some issues with advertising; I wasn't even sure when the show was playing until the last minute.
However, according to Sean Wise at Inside the Dragon's Den, the show is supposed to air on Newsworld on Fridays at 8 p.m., Saturdays at 1 a.m., 9 a.m., 11 p.m., Sundays at 6 a.m. and 4 p.m., and Mondays at 4 a.m. A bit of a motley grouping, but I think Sunday afternoons might just work. Plus, the first airings are scheduled on CBC Wednesdays at 8pm, so as long as the schedule stays that way, I'll be able to report more about the entrepreneurs and how they are faring sooner rather than later.
In the meantime, I think I'll review some of their suggested ways to get business cash in their Pitchers' Bible with the hopes of applying for season two (they aren't taking applications yet, but will shortly, probably depending on the success of season one).
