That's right, you have another chance to pitch your brilliant business idea to the Dragons themselves.

The audition tour for Dragons' Den is coming around again, giving you a chance to pitch your business to Canadian business moguls. These Dragons are often ruthless, but if you can convince them, you might just get the investment you need for that dream business venture.

Online auditions are now open, and the in-person audition tour will be coming to Kelowna in March. If you're interested, gear up and get that pitch ready for Wednesday, March 5th from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The auditions will be held at the Kelowna campus of Okanagan College in their Centre for Learning (E building) on KLO Road.

The tour came in 2014 as well, with several businesses making it all the way to the Dragons themselves. An Okanagan businessman, Casey Binkley, received four offers from the Dragons for his product that helps bars and restaurants drain and organize their bottles after a busy night. Two Kelowna entrepreneurs were also backed, with Darren Bates and partner Franzi Tschurtschenthaler getting a deal for their musical festival and party clothing line.

Are you ready to be the next local entrepreneur to make it big—lacking only the proper investment? Check out more information on the auditions on the popular show's website.
