Are you a young entrepreneur in need of money to fuel your start-up, idea or small business? Then apply online for a chance to pitch on the next installment of NEXT GEN DEN, presented by Wolf Blass Wines.
Next Gen Den is Dragons’ Den for an online world, featuring the next generation of Dragons. Shorter and made for mobile, these webisodes are a launching pad for young entrepreneurs, pitching start-ups and early-stage businesses to investors with the knowledge and cash to take those companies to the next level. But remember – the rules of the Den remain the same – pitchers must get all the money they ask for, or they walk away with nothing. To be eligible, entrepreneurs must be 40 years old or younger.
