Wise Words

Sean Wise makes a living listening to people's dreams. Wise is the business advisor to the hit TV series, the "Dragons' Den" that airs on the CBC. On the show, entrepreneurs of emerging and high growth companies pitch their investment ideas to Dragons (angel investors). Wise was in Sault Ste. Marie sharing his "Lessons from the Den" with local entrepreneurs, investors and their financial advisors at the Holiday Inn. After the seminar, attended by 40 interested business hopefuls, Wise listened to four distinct "pitches". Wise said, that entrepreneurs need to practice on thier pitches when seeking angel money from possible investors. They should be able to tell an investor about their business and what they're seeking from investors in about 2 minutes time. Wise said that the goal of the tour was to educate those looking for venture capital and how to obtain it."There are important lessons each entrepreneur needs to know before making a presentation to investors and they can all be found in the various pitches in our show," said Wise "If I see something worthwhile, a good presentation, I'll invite them to an audition for the show."
