Ok, so what even is the application process for Dragons’ Den like? Edward Hancock, founder of cheesegeek, who went on the show, has revealed the process is gruelling, and there are loads of steps before you make it into the Den. “It’s a thorough process – video auditions, comprehensive due diligence, form after form,” he told The Sun. “Then an emai...
Not everyone applies to be on the show, though. Sometimes business owners are approached by producers to take part.
When the big day to do your pitch finally arrives, you spend the majority of the day hanging around, despite being given a specific pitching time slot. Edward added: “We travelled up to Manchester the night before to avoid any last minute travel hiccups. We arrived at the studio at 7am as we had a morning slot…and the waiting began. We had to wait ...

Edward said: “After our pitch, our question and answer session with the Dragons lasted for one hour and 45 minutes. There are no cuts in...

Former Dragon, Piers Linne...
