Dragons' Den is the Canadian television series using the national version of the Dragons' Den business-investment format.
The Canadian programme premiered in 2006 and presents entrepreneurs to a panel of Canadian investors. Contestants request financing and usually offer a percentage of their company in return. The investors question the founders about revenue, margins, valuation, competition and plans for expansion.
Although the title is the same as the British programme, the Canadian series has its own presenter, investors and local business stories. This is typical of the format, which has been adapted for audiences in multiple countries while retaining the central pitch-and-negotiation structure.
The wording can cause confusion because people sometimes add “Canada” to the title informally. The official English title is simply Dragons' Den, with the national context supplied by the programme's broadcaster and article title.
