  • Dragons' Den Live Final

    Hey guys,

    Just a quick reminder that tonight is the Live final our Dragons' Den Competition.

    Date - Tonight (Wednesday, Feb 24th)
    Time - 7pm
    Venue - Synge Theatre, Arts Block


    Our hosts, Tom Kelly and Jennifer Geraghty, will announce the finalists of the competition and those who will present their business pitch to our dragons.

    The audience and dragons will then watch as entrants sink or swim when they present their 3 minute business pitch, using slides, drawings, product prototypes and any other prop they can think of.

    After each pitch the dragons test the entrants wits by drilling down into the particulars of their business plan and pitch.

    Once all of the finalists have presented their ideas the dragons will retire to make their final decision. We will have Dragons’ Den winner, Tim Rooney MD of Surf Seeds talk of his experience on the television show and working with the dragons.

    Then the dragons will return to announce the winners of the TES Dragons’ Den 2010. The prizes will be presented and the event will be followed with a free drinks reception in the Atrium.
