About the contest:
‘Enter the Den’ is inspired by Dragon’s Den, the popular TV show. It will be a kinder version of the format with practical feedback to each and every participant. Make no mistake – this is a contest with winners and losers. The three cash prizes will go to students with good business ideas that have been researched, presented and defended well. The contest offers encouragement and support to all students along the way. The long-term goal of Thunder Bay Ventures and partners in offering this contest and other entrepreneurial events for high school business students is to develop a culture of entrepreneurship in our community and reward creative, innovative and practical business ideas.
