Would you like to appear on BBC’s Dragon’s Den?
BBC’s Dragons’ Den is now auditioning for the 2008 series of the popular TV Show. It offers entrepreneurs the chance to make their business dreams come true. If you’re genuinely seeking investment for your business idea or invention, they would like to hear from you.
The rules are simple: entrepreneurs can ask for any amount of investment in return for equity in their business. However, they must get the amount they ask for or they will walk away with nothing. The Dragons are prepared to listen to a pitch for any kind of business but they must be convinced that it will make money.
As demonstrated by the investments in the last four series, ideas, businesses and products that meet some or all of the following criteria stand a good chance of securing the Dragons' interest:
- The Unique Selling Point: a product that serves a need like nothing else.
- Scalability: something that can be up scaled to make real money.
- Route to Market: the clear way the product can be sold and marketed.
- Mutually Beneficial Arrangement: just what will the Dragons get out of it?
- Exit Strategy: a plan of how the entrepreneur/Dragon will exit and make money.
The BBC is currently searching for Britain's best entrepreneurs and will be auditioning throughout the coming months. We want to hear from anyone who thinks they've got what it takes to enter the Dragons' Den.
