MAKO and Toronto Inventor Team Up to Create a Dragons’ Den Success 

Jonathan Schloo recently pitched his invention to the dragons on CBC’s Dragons’ Den and walked away with a life-changing deal of $100,000. The questions and negotiations were intense with a lot of interest from every single dragon. In the end, Vincenzo Guzzo, CEO of Cinemas Guzzo, and Jim Treliving, CEO of Boston Pizza, saw huge potential to sell the product in stores like Costco and went in on the investment together. Check out the video from the CarGenerator viewing party in the heart of beautiful downtown Toronto, and behind the scenes perspective from the Toronto inventor below:
