Jeff Alpaugh is going to get the chance to go before the Dragon’s Den on April 29th.
He is headed to Toronto with his team to make his pitch for his Custom Clothing Company.
Alpaugh says, “We got the call, and they told us we were good to go for April 29th. So, what we are starting to do, is we are going to rent a coach bus and bring a bunch of people from Fredericton to Toronto and we’re just going to pack the Den with so many models and dangerous dress shirts, that we are going to make those Dragon’s feel like they’re in our Den.”

The Fredericton man and Co-Founder says he would be happy getting a deal with any Dragon, but he has his eye on one in particular, Michelle. It’s because she has a lot of web knowledge and connections, “What I would like to do with the money is, if you go to our website, it’s good, it’s cool, there are tons of pictures of crazy dangerous shirts, but it’s not world class, it’s not first class. I would like to put a lot of resources into making it, so that on our website, you can design your own shirt.”
If he does get a deal, he’ll have to keep it secret until the next season of Dragon’s Den airs in the fall, “We potentially may not make it on TV, but if anyone has seen our YouTube channel, we’re pretty confident we’ll be on television. You make a deal that very day, but you can’t tell anyone until about the deal until that episode airs. It’s a long time to keep a secret.”
