It's based on Dragon's Den (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragons_Den http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragons_Den) and the foreign versions are a bit more believable. The US one is pretty annoying, everything from the people they got to show up to the narratives to the sharks themselves.
- ErrantX 17y agoYes, here in the UK it is a bit more "serious" (is that the right world). Our Den guys are pretty solidly respected business people in their various fields. And it has worked: Reggae Reggae sauce (I dont know if it has made it to the states yet) is now a multi-million dollar business after investments from there. Rapstrap was also launched in a similar way (http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2008/09/18/dragons-den-contestant-signs-36-million-deal-for-rapstrap-115875-20741340/ http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2008/09/18/dragons-...) though there is some controversy over it.
