FYI... (there was a form to apply, but the list doesn't like big emails :( ) ------------------------------------------ From: Ninel Musson <nmusson@africanleadershipnetwork.com> Date: 19 July 2016 at 17:04:24 EAT To: undisclosed-recipients:; Subject: Lions Den Kenya seeking to identify local entrepreneurs Hello, Lions Den Kenya will launch this August and aim to identifying innovative, exciting, and promising businesses, designs, products or ideas in Kenya. Do you know of any great entrepreneurial ventures that should participate in this local version of the show? If you do, please encourage them to apply! Winners will not only receive investment in their business ideas, but also mentorship, access to influential networks, and other forms of support. The show is a spin-off of the popular Dragons’ Den/Shark Tank programme in the United States, and will feature prominent and successful African business leaders as the judges and mentors (‘Lions’). To apply, please visit bankika.co.ke/lionsden/join and submit the attached form by no later than July 24th. In each episode of the show, exciting new ideas are presented and the panelists grill the contestants on the appeal of the product or business idea and the viability of their business plans and projections. Lions battle each other as well as the contestants to determine who gets what. The rewards for the competitors are substantial – a sizeable investment in their company and a leading East African entrepreneur as a partner in their business. In parts of the world, some of the companies that the Lions’ Den have invested in have gone onto become million dollar enterprises. The Lions themselves help build successful businesses and profit from their strategic investments. In addition the show has an intrinsic educational value. New business ideas are analyzed and dissected. The panelists interrogate the competitors and determine whether their ideas make sound business sense. This forms the basis on whether they decide to invest in a venture. For more information visit bankika.co.ke/lionsden. If you any questions please feel free to reach out!
