The Forge client 2unify has been selected to pitch on CBC’s Dragon’s Den Season 15. The hit television show offers audiences a front-row view as the country’s top business moguls wheel and deal with entrepreneurs who dare to enter the Den. “We are huge fans of the show and are beyond excited to pitch on Dragon’s Den. A special thanks to Innovation Factory and McMaster Innovation Park for organizing the auditions in Hamilton” said Michael Jobity, co-founder of 2unify. “Hamilton has shown us overwhelming support. Joining The Forge over the summer has given us a great opportunity to grow our startup and prepare for this pitch and questions we may face in the Den. We can’t wait to meet the Dragons!”
