A spectacular TV program with a valuable purpose; a panel of successful entrepreneurs with huge amount of spare cash willing to make money and help the young entrepreneurial talent by investing in the potential projects.
Startup funding is one of the major reasons for numerous businesses to fail before they even start. Dragon’s Den is an excellent concept as it provides hope to those talented entrepreneurs who have the potential ideas but not the funds. It encourages them to think out of the box regardless of worrying about the startup financial issues.
There is no concept of such TV shows in 3rd world countries e.g. Pakistan, so first time when I saw it “I was totally amazed”. Its one of the biggest opportunities an upcoming entrepreneur can get. The best thing to me was how quickly the skilled panel judges whether the project is profitable and has the future potential to grow. Every episode is full of learning, it does not only provide money but for the viewers it’s a great source to acquire knowhow of the entrepreneurial world for e.g. presentation skills, emerging business industries etc.
