Dragons' Den Entrepreneurial Pitch Tips


Overall Advice

Be prepared - don’t wing it!
Be prepared for brutally honest feedback.

The Pitch

Know what you’re going to say but don’t learn your lines. Instead, know what points you’re going to make and how you’re going to make them.
If you lose your way, take a deep breath and recover.

The Focus

You must make your product and its function clear and concise. Never question an Investors’ reason for asking a question.

The Numbers

Know what you expect sales and profits to be for next 3-5 yrs. How many units need to be sold to become profitable.
If you don’t know the numbers don’t try to make them up.
