Dragons Den

Presented by Richard Curran, Deputy Editor of The Sunday Business Post, Dragons' Den will give hopeful Irish entrepreneurs the chance to pitch their business schemes in front of five wealthy and successful venture capitalists. Will they invest and finance the dream? First, the entrepreneurs must convince the experienced Dragons of the merits of their business ideas.

The Irish Dragons are successful entrepreneurs and business leaders who have been there, done that.

They are: Gavin Duffy, Bobby Kerr, Sean Gallagher, Niall O'Farrell and Sarah Newman.

Crucially, it's the Dragons' own hard earned cash on the table. These are shrewd business people who have heard it all before and who are not afraid to say 'no' in the harshest of terms. But if they spot an idea with that extra special something, they and they alone will have the power to make dreams come true and invest money from their own pockets.

Series 2 will start on Thursday 25th February 2010 on RTE 1.
