Dragons' Den Canada Season 19

Season 19 of Dragons' Den Canada ran through the 2024 to 2025 broadcast window. We keep tabs on 5 of its pitches, each followed from the pitch itself to a current-status check.

Our approach is deliberately cautious. The one figure we can always stand behind is the ask, because CBC airs it, while the on-air result is not something the broadcaster records, so we never infer a deal from a friendly edit or from a company simply still being open. Where verification found a live shop or a founder's own statement, we say so and cite it.

Season 19 is the smallest season in this slice, just five tracked pitches, which makes it a tidy set to read end to end. Detailing Knights is the standout: Brian Scudamore matched the full $150,000 ask but pushed the equity from 18 percent to 25, then backed a service business designed to franchise, which is the playbook he built 1-800-GOT-JUNK on.

The three that left without money are a study in what a panel will not fund: a refrigerated protein bar fighting for fridge space, a fresh dog-food brand whose cost per meal was judged too high to carry an investor, and a childcare and co-working concept the room called a little too early. All three are still trading, and the childcare concept has roughly doubled its footprint since.
