English term or phrase: get savaged in the "Dragons' Den"
Serial entrepreneurs
are a good example of a group of individuals who are very likely to be high in positive problem orientation. The type of person who gets savaged in the “Dragons’ Den” (BBC) reflects on the experience and then goes back for a second attempt is a good illustration of this quality.

agree  Armorel Young: right idea, although "teilnehmen" misses the point of "get savaged" - the text refers to people whose ideas are torn to shreds on the TV programme (and who therefore don't get the funding they are requesting) but who are not deterred from trying again

  -> Stimmt. Thanks for pointing this out Armorel. :)
