Audition Tour Dates

Dear Sara,

An exciting opportunity has come up for entrepreneurs in our community: Dragons' Den is now accepting applications for Season 20, and they are looking for innovative business ideas to feature on the show.

Since 2005, Dragons' Den has been a platform where Canadian entrepreneurs have shared their stories and pitched their businesses to a panel of seasoned investors.

Over the years, businesses like SAXX, Endy, Smart Sweets, and Knix as well as some of our very own Chamber Members have found success after appearing on the show. Perhaps the next big success story could come from South Surrey & White Rock!

Why This is a Great Opportunity:

This is more than just an audition for a TV show—it’s a chance to showcase your business on a national stage, connect with like-minded entrepreneurs, and potentially receive investment and mentorship from some of Canada’s leading business minds.

Whether you’re looking for funding, advice, or exposure, Dragons’ Den offers a unique platform that could help take your business to the next level.

Let’s Support Our Local Entrepreneurs:

If you know someone in the South Surrey & White Rock community who has a business or idea ready to grow, encourage them to apply. The Dragons are always on the lookout for businesses that show potential, creativity, and a solid vision for the future.

We’re excited to see what new opportunities emerge from this season and are proud to support entrepreneurs from our very own community.
