Apply now to enter the Den

Do you have a killer idea or a 'must-have' product of the future ready for investment? Do you have the powers of persuasion needed to part the Dragons from their cash?

There are now two opportunities available: in addition to the TV show you can now apply to pitch to two new Dragons in a unique online arena. Entrepreneurs in this new online arena can achieve investments of up to £50,000 and we are also keen to hear about concepts and ideas which would be kick-started with seed capital.

Please note, you must apply online and include a video pitch to be considered for the Online Dragons and please ensure that you have read the FAQs before applying.

Our video pitching guide gives advice on how to upload your pitch and get the Dragons' attention.

Remember, we're still looking for entrepreneurs seeking £50,000 or more for the TV programme.

If you are eighteen or over and ready for the challenge then...
