We do know one of Chase Van Buuren乌鸦传媒檚 two proposals on a recent trip east was accepted.
As for the other pitch, well, we have to wait until Nov. 25.
Lake Country乌鸦传媒檚 Van Buuren, who owns and operates Limitless Manufacturing (), recently completed a taping of the popular CBC-TV show Dragons乌鸦传媒� Den, where entrepreneurs make pitches on their products or companies to a panel, looking for one or more of the 乌鸦传媒楧ragons乌鸦传媒� to invest.
乌鸦传媒淚乌鸦传媒檝e always wanted to give it a go and this year was my first crack at it,乌鸦传媒� said Van Buuren, 29, who applied online to appear on the Dragons乌鸦传媒� Den show.
He passed the first qualifying stage, then appeared on a Zoom meeting with producers. He did a live demo from his shop and that was good enough to earn him a spot on the show taped in Toronto.
Limitless Manufacturing is an Okanagan-based CNC custom manufacturer specializing in unique, one of a kind accessories for a client乌鸦传媒檚 truck.
乌鸦传媒淭here is nothing else like our products out there, and we love to see our sleek sled decks, headache racks, and running boards around town,乌鸦传媒� said Van Buuren on his company乌鸦传媒檚 website.
Due to obligations, Van Buuren is not allowed to say much about his appearance on the TV show until after it airs, which will be Thursday, Nov. 25.
乌鸦传媒淚 can say we did some demos, including dropping a 2,000-pound block onto a truck, and we did get our company truck up to the 10th floor of the building where we did the taping,乌鸦传媒� said Van Buuren. 乌鸦传媒淚 can say it all went well. It was a great experience. We乌鸦传媒檙e a small business and this experience was very confidence-building. It was great to get out there and do it.乌鸦传媒�

That乌鸦传媒檚 where Van Buuren popped the question.
乌鸦传媒淪he didn乌鸦传媒檛 see it coming,乌鸦传媒� laughed Van Buuren. 乌鸦传媒淚 told her, 乌鸦传媒榟ow could you not see it coming? We乌鸦传媒檙e in Niagara Falls.乌鸦传媒櫸谘淮綕
