Scene: Dragon’s Den boardroom
Joe (leaning forward):
Mr. Wonderful, thank you for your time. We’re Joe and Nelly—together, people call us Jelly. We’ve been watching the rise and fall of countless online platforms, and one truth stands out: in the cancel culture economy, if you don’t own your infrastructure, you don’t own your voice.
Nelly (smiling confidently):
That’s why we’re here today. We want to launch the official Dragon’s Den web platform—built on WordPress with custom form software that gives entrepreneurs, fans, and investors a permanent, independent hub. No matter what happens on social media, no matter who controls the airwaves, this site can never be cancelled.
Joe:
Think of it like digital real estate. Instead of renting space on Instagram or TikTok, Dragon’s Den will own its land. A self-hosted site with powerful forms for pitches, secure investor dashboards, and community forums. Entrepreneurs can apply directly, showcase their products, and interact with investors without middlemen or censorship.
Nelly:
It’s about resilience, but it’s also about monetization. The platform creates new revenue streams:
- Paid pitch submissions.
- Premium mentorship subscriptions.
- Exclusive deal rooms for accredited investors.
- Merchandise and event ticketing, integrated seamlessly.
Joe:
We’re seeking your partnership and endorsement, Kevin. With your name, reputation, and savvy, this isn’t just a website. It’s the Dragon’s Den digital fortress—a platform that empowers creators while protecting the brand from outside interference.
Nelly (leaning in):
Kevin, we know you love deals that protect capital. This protects the most important asset Dragon’s Den has: its voice and its entrepreneurs. We’re offering you a stake in the infrastructure that can’t be taken away.
Joe:
Because dragons don’t get cancelled.
