The Idea
The product is the basis of the team’s success, so the team must really work together to create something brilliant!

Be careful not to drag their feet too much in the planning stage though or the team may find themselves with nothing to present at the end!

The Dragon’s Counsel
Intimidating as the Dragon’s are, the team must remember that they’re also excellent business tycoons - a quality the team should make the most of! Therefore throughout the day, 1-2 of the team members at a time will be given the chance to meet with and discuss ideas with each of the Dragons. The team will also have the chance to earn money with which to buy materials with at the ‘business superstore’, based on the poignancy of questions and ideas so far.
