Zip Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 http://www.cbc.ca/dragonsden/ I watched it for the first time last night and I rather enjoyed it. For those of you unfamiliar with it it is a reality TV show in which budding entrepreneurs pitch their ideas to successful businessmen and women in an effort to secure funding for their product or service. The show was originally from Japan but is syndicated in several countries now. Wikipedia says that ABC in the states is going to be producing a coy of the show called "The Shark Tank" You can read more here... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragons%27_Den Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think some of us should work together, and have a person as a 'front' there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMeganSnow Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 I find the "Dragons" more interesting than the proposals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greebo Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 I find the "Dragons" more interesting than the proposals. Yeah, we find their questions and comments to be the most interesting. Tho sometimes they seem to talk just to hear themselves talk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMERICONORMAN Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 I watch too much tv as it is but this is one of those shows that when I watched it it was interesting and when I heard and read about it, it was very exciting, had better promise than The Apprentice. And most recently I heard one of the Dragons, Kevin O'Leary, speak very sincerely and confidently in an interview about the economy from a laissez faire standpoint. It was unbelievable. He runs an investment company it seems. The Dragons' Profiles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zip Posted October 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Last night an old friend whom I served in Kosovo with was on the show. He and his partners were successful in getting $250,000 from the Dragons for their shoelace clip. http://www.cbc.ca/dragonsden/pitches/quicksnap.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake_Ellison Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 (edited) I don't watch reality tv, but judging by the title it's not exactly pro capitalism. (Dragon's Den, Shark Tank, the only ones missing are alligator pit and snakehole). Edited October 26, 2008 by Jake_Ellison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
