George Brown's College "Dragon's Den" Presentations
The Centre for Business launched the Institute of Entrepreneurship and Community Innovation in the fall of 2008. The Institute is a living lab where students, with oversight from their professors, offer consulting services to local social entrepreneurs and industry.
This "Dragon's Den" challenge featured local entrepreneurs looking to develop and grow their businesses. A panel of judges provided feedback following each presentation. The jury included Bob Warburton, Greg MacLeod, Josh Wiwcharyk and Bob Taylor, who provided feedback to the participants.

I am very grateful to have across an organization like the Institute at George Brown. Not only did the institute provide the necessary facilities
and resources to develop a solid business plan, but it also provided the guidance and support that was critical in my growth from becoming a business
person to an entrepreneur. The Institute truly fosters the spirit of youth and entrepreneurialism, and without it I would not have been able to grow
an idea into the business it is today. Priscilla Sam, Business Development Manager, Motto Gift Registry
