DRAGONS' DEN

A Deal with
Manjit Minhas

Season 10, Episode 3

Facing the Fire

On the 10th Season of CBC Dragons' Den, we pitched our classic extender to some amazing Dragons. 

It was early 2015 when we drove to Toronto and headed to the CBC Studios.  Excitement, anxiousness and nervousness were the feelings that accompanied us along the way.  When we got to the studios, our cameras were out and ready to capture this unique & special moment: we were actually going to be pitching to the “Dragons” and be part of the whole Dragon’s Den experience!

We knew, that what would occur in the following hours could potentially be life-changing.  Or at the very least make for an unforgettable story to share.  Unpacking our products and preparing ourselves for the pitch seemed at times surreal and yet very normal.  Entering the studio garage doors, with our hearts in our mouth and butterflies in our tummies, we took a deep breath and walked into the Den.

"The first couple of minutes were the most nerve-wracking. Then our passion took over and we were simply talking about how the extenders could help. Goodbye butterflies. We were able to enjoy the incredible moment and opportunity :)"
"I think the best part of the preparation routine was when we got to tour inside the Dragon’s Den studio and realize that it was just a room: much smaller than in the show, and definitely much less intimidating...at least without the Dragons anyway."
