@@akavzWdym? He came in with a valuation of 2.5 million with nothing at all to prove he could claim anything close. His business was a complete startup with tons of debt. She was the only person willing to give him a realistic answer instead of being fake for the camera like all the old dragons.
Yeah, if you look at his return, the creditors went from £237K to £403K in one year when his turnover is only £500K. Ridiculous when you consider that he sells a bedsheet for £200. I can see him going bust soon.
Why do entrepreneurs act like projections for their startup are guaranteed to the point they will base their valuation on it. This guy is on another planet
It's a non-liquid asset, exactly like he said in the video. You CAN use non-liquid assets to get a loan. Welcome to the world of adults, you might have to take your dolls to a charity shop.
He came in dressed like a guy leaving a pub or maybe kicking around a soccer ball., rather than an entrepreneur speaking to multi-millionaires for a serious business deal. Like Sarah said slick words smoking mirrors, but I would not trust him to hold my kids ice cream cone. Looks slippery
He never did his homework before coming to the Den. He doesn't understand that a dragon brings much more than just money in return for equity. They bring years of experience and their vast marketing network.
Been doing all my business deals in boardshorts and tshirts since 20 years. Not bad considering we were able to sell the previous company for 60mil euros in 2012. Not changed since and all is good. Anyone who thinks the world of “success” and business revolves around a shirt and a suit needs to seriously think outside of their box. So many successful people doing their thing and not forced to be what they are not. If his pitch/biz was a banger he could have been standing there in speedos and a cowboy hat it would make no difference if the investors can smell success.
The business is currently 400k in debt! This guy was an absolute fool to turn down such a great offer and mentorship opportunity. I imagine he will always regret this decision and his arrogance.
His sales were fairly dismal after 3 yes, thinks his company is worth 1.5 million and rejects an offer from a dragon that would automatically give his business the potential for success. And then walks away empty handed. Not the brightest crayon in the box.😅
The designer t-shirt, man bun look when you’re asking for $150,000 for 6% is a pretty big indicator that this guy isn’t used to dealing with people who are way smarter and tremendously more powerful than him. I own a cleaning business and even I dress smart and neat when meeting a client for a consultation. Oh vey 🙄
He's a frigging stock trader, he's smart. His strategy is VERY HIGH RISK, it hasn't paid off so far. Your understanding of 'smart' based on how somebody looks is flawed. Peter Jones didn't even bring it up, and that's a massive bugbear for him. Actually, he's a POTENTIAL client of yours, and you're sitting here slagging him off seems counter to what you're saying in your comment. That doesn't seem particularly smart to me.
Possibly the most deluded man ever to enter the den - and turned down being a partner in possibly a multi million pound business. Mug of the year soon to be without a home or a business
I think he was there for the free advertisement. They should just cut those out from the final clip. He's obviously a sane man, who didn't give a toss about getting an investment.
@kabasn totally agree with you. The irony is that the free advertisement and publicity from the show is probably worth less than what the dragons could bring to the business, even if it means giving up half the company. Maybe he missed the part that the dragon was also willing to inject 150k into the business. That alone is worth much more than free publicity
Aside from the unrealistic valuation. my biggest question is where is he getting the eucalyptus pulp to make them from? Eucalyptus trees are native to Australia and England is not known for having huge amounts of them. I can almost guarantee there's a huge amount of shipping involved somewhere in the chain.
@@bluceree7312 Who cares? And probably not... probably also sourced from an EU tree farm. I don't know if you know, but humans have been farming for tens of thousands of years, I suspect they used farming techniques to grow trees from somewhere else. How do you know that cotton has fewer air miles? Sometimes you just have to trust other people, especially if you have no evidence of prior misdeeds. Go to therapy, I notice a tonne of people watch this programme who are clearly depressed. You guys behaviour is NOT normal. Time to be a big boy adult and go to therapy. Oh, and the customer ALWAYS pays for shipping, for everything. Are you okay? Would an adult ed class in economics 101 help? You can probably get it tax free if you explain the situation.
The man-bun, the shirt, the pants, the shoes, all of them told me the product would be some "eco-friendly" BS before he even opened his mouth and I was right.
This guy delivers a masterclass in how overconfidence/arrogance and being cocky can alienate you to others, employers, investors and generally anyone... it was a joy to watch him get destroyed in minutes and watch his entire pitch crumble.....total bell
That's not being a tool. Actually, it was the best answer he gave in the entire segment. Touker had asked for 50% and obviously wasn't going to accept anything less than 40. He has offered 6% so probably wasn't prepared to go above about 15. He didn't make a counter offer because it was obvious that there was no counter offer he could make the Touker would accept. "No" was a _much_ better answer than making a counter offer of much less thna 50% and getting laughed at.
Sadly this is actually the price these days for bedding. Decent bedding from good fabrics and especially the larger the bedding sizes the bigger the price.
It seems to me after watching Dragon’s Den for awhile that if you are going into the den offering a single-digit percentage share of your company, your product had better be the next iPhone.
@generalideer6421 .......Not to mention the fact that Kaola Bears [whose habitat is eucalyptus forests and main food source, eucalyptus leaves] are a seriously endangered species - and there is a very real possibility they will become extinct.
Eucalyptus is grown on crop plantation scale in several places and the trees grow back in about 10 years; So, sourcing may not be an issue. However, not offering a counter offer is a missed opportunity.
@@visheshbansal3247 He didn't make a counter offer because he and Touker were an ocean apart. You think it would be better to counter-offer 15% and get laughed at? I doubt he was prepared to give more equity than that.
Consultancy is the way forward if you want to make money. Equip yourself with expertise that people are willing to pay for and the overheads are minimal. I set up my own business after getting 15 years of experience and only used $30k for home office equipment and insurances etc and now make $300k revenue with approx $250k profit, which is in the top 1% of earners in Australia. I could scale the business and employ, but why would I? I make more than pretty much everyone that comes on dragons den and own 100% of the company, with far less stress and bullshit of being an employee. Also the tax benefits are awesome.
I love projections…. What are you going to do over the next 3 years… £150k, £350, £700k…. Based on numbers that just sound good and no one has any idea whether it will happen or not. Base it on sales to date and how good the product or idea is. With a potential dragon onboard and what they would bring, your company would change the direction anyway. If you haven’t made a profit then don’t value your business over £250 and don’t offer a percentage less that 15%
Used to be a time when the Dragons offered alternative offers/valuations often when they liked a product but not the deal. Feels like this has changed a lot? Why not just make a counter offer if Steven or Peter liked the product?
Sara was right to call him out, but not pursue more of it since he calmed down and was quite honest and straightforward. She should've realized that, rather staying bitter.
"We don't need more products, we need better versions of exisiting products... So, here is my new product"... It's the same thing. God , his puddle shallow generic hipster wisdom is irritating.
If he truly watched DD he would have come in and said: I meant… 60%… $150 000 for 60%. The world is full of delusional, head in the clouds people at the moment
I won’t trust this guy to buy groceries, let alone managing business alone. U walk there not only for money, but also for mentoring, experience and connection these dragons hv. That’s a huge leg up, especially in start-up stage. What a tool.
Touker actually made a great offer here. He would have become a multimillionaire. A silly mistake. It makes me suspect his main motivation to appear on the Den was free advertising.
Sara is a lovely person. She has put her neck on the line to defend an entrepreneur MULTIPLE times. I know this was in her second or third season, not the debut one (when she was in her blue dress) where she was kinder and more sympathetic to entrepreneurs, but if James had given the Dragons more solid facts, then she wouldn't have done what she did. That tells you she smells a RAT. His appearance and words seem very typical for the modern type of entrepreneur but his personality is probably horrendous deep down if he is THAT cocky on live TV. He probably makes fun of the Dragons behind the scenes. If James actually gave evidence for his valuation rather than waffling and making stuff up without actually showing the evidence, Sara and Stephen wouldn't have gone after him. And this is the problem with environmental companies - often they are selling you something that's simply impossible to make or exist. He was clearly hiding something and his cocky self-centred personality wasn't helping him. It made the Dragons feel on edge. I'm confused how he got so much money...like a lot of it is his own money!
Nothing to do with environmental companies, just start-up business bros that watch wolf of Wall Street once and think they understand business on some higher level.
Totally agree, I’ve watched hundreds of these and I’ve never had such a genuine physical response to anyone’s pitch like I have with this one 😮 you can just imagine the sort of guy he’d be in the pub with his mates or trying to work with. He’s made me want to physically recoil from the other side of the screen 😅
Another example that when someone is asking more than 50K the dragons buckle and go into hiding! His ask is the standard if not lower on the Shark Tank! Huge difference in the wealth of the dragons??
Can't people change their valuation if they realise/understand that it's too much? Like go talk to the wall and agree to change their valuation after feedback?
I can't believe how the dragons found him investable, his valuation was completely out of this world and that says a lot about the guy and his lack of business skills.
Hmm... don't think James has realized that the Dragons aren't interested EXCEPT Touker having to go 50/50 which was turned down?? Was that a good idea or not?
