CBC’s Dragons’ Den 2013 Audition Tour Hits the Road

Calling all young entrepreneurs and business owners! This month, DRAGONS’ DEN producers will hit the road for an audition tour, with more than 40 stops in various Canadian cities. Put your new year’s goals into action with the opportunity to enter the coveted den with the hope of landing financial backing for your business ventures. You have nothing to lose: no experience is necessary and participants of all ages are encouraged to audition. After the success of the show’s “All-Student” specials, DRAGONS’ DEN continues to seek young entrepreneurs who think they have what it takes to seal a deal with the country’s most renowned business tycoons. Auditions kick off in Toronto beginning January 19th. 

All interested entrepreneurs should be prepared to pitch their business in less than five minutes…so get that elevator pitch down pat. If you can convince DRAGONS’ DEN producers that you’re ready for your fifteen minutes of fame, you could be invited to brave the Dragons face-to face when the upcoming season is filmed in Toronto. Candidates are asked to apply online and bring a completed application form to the audition. 

Countless young professionals tune into the current season of DRAGONS’ DEN, seen Sundays at 8pm on CBC. Full episodes and exclusive behind-the-scenes content can be viewed at cbc.ca/dragonsden
