Early in March, the team from CBC's Dragons Den and former contestant Rachel Smith from Bannock Express came to Whitehorse to experience its entrepreneurial spirit.
Auditions were held at the Kwanlin Dün Cultural Centre and we had eight businesses audition. The Dragon's Den team also got to speak with over 75 entrepreneurs attending the Indigenous Women Entrepreneur program hosted by däna Näye Ventures, giving them information about the show and providing a mini "how to pitch" session.
Here is Yukon Morning host Elyn Jones talking to senior producer Molly Middleton and Rachel Smith.
Thanks to our partners at the Whitehorse Public Library, Yukonstruct Society, Yukon University, Yukon Venture Angels, TechYukon, and EntrepreNorth.
