Being an up and coming entrepreneur,at least in my eyes the show "the dragon's den" is very interesting to me. Like many people who want to be there own boss I too dream of getting on the show. The problem is the selection process is less than clear. Instead of having a preset clear process of how to get on the show, it is subscribe to a newsletter and we will let you know. This annoys me because it should be clear after 5 seasons. What troubles me more is someone in the dragons den facebook group claiming he can get other people on the show and he knows Jim personally. This suggests that CBC a public TV company is not using a fair selection process. Instead it seems more interested in friends of friends. Even more troubling is when you see people go on the show for a second time when you have been unable to get on the show once. Maybe it is my fault cause I ain't going to sub CBC and get my inbox full of spam.. I just think the show since it is a public station should have a very clear selection process. It annoys me when it becomes a friend of a friend because I have met a hell of a lot of businesses people in Canada who would do a far better job than the people on the show. I would likely be more interesting than 95% of the people on the show.. but I can't apply because the process is not clear. What they should do is create a contest in youtube where we do an elevator pitch and post the URL in the fanpage. People vote on the best videos and they go on the show. lol.. look at me I don't trust government run TV to be fair... how the world has changed where we look at our leaders with cynicism...
