The CBC's Dragon's Den -- you remember, the entrepreneurship reality show competiton -- is in the news again. This time the Toronto Star has a good story about the people who will take their own money and invest it in the winning proposals. Here are the judges:

Kevin O'Leary, co-founder of The Learning Company, an educational software firm that was sold to The Mattel Co. in 1999 for $3.2 billion.
Laurence Lewin, co-founder and president of national women's lingerie chain La Senza Corp.
Jim Treliving, the former cop who founded casual dining restaurant chain Boston Pizza.
Jennifer Wood, a bush pilot, Alberta cattle rancher and businesswoman.
Robert Herjavec, a pioneer in computer networking and security, and head of The Herjavec Group.

Stay tuned. The show begins in October.

Friend of Gagglkescape.com, Sean Wise, has the last word in the story.

On the other hand, any one of the many applicants who will be rejected by the Dragons over the next four days may go on to be very successful in their business, said Lewin.
After all, as Wise points out: "Everyone told George Lucas that Star Wars wasn't a good idea."
