In the past 5 seasons of "The Lion's Den" many exciting and successful products were seen. Some young start-ups have actually managed to continue to be successful after the VOX start-up show.
The Lion's Den: Successful Products
In the VOX start-up show "Die Höhle der Löwen", start-ups or entrepreneurs present their ideas for successfully launching their products on the market with the help of investors.
- Young founders present their idea or product with a prepared creative presentation to investors (currently: Judith Williams, Ralf Dümmel, Dagmar Wöhrl, Frank Thelen, Carsten Maschmeyer and Dr. Georg Kofler).
- The start-up proposes the sum of the investments that it needs from the investors.
- In return, the company offers investors a percentage of company shares.
