Finally, the biggest entrepreneurship show in Sub-Saharan Africa, the KCB Lions’ Den, will premiere on 26^th September 2016 on NTV at 8.00 pm.

The show which is part of the Ksh 50 billion 2jiajiri initiative that is targeting around 500,000 startups in a period of 5 years, will consist of twelve episodes each running for forty-five to sixty minutes long.

Aspiring entrepreneurs will get to pitch their business ideas and products to a panel of Kenyan business moguls who have the cash and the know-how it takes to succeed.

Entrepreneurs will have to convince the Lions that their business is worth investing in and offer a share of their company in return.
