      As a keen golfer, I do not see this taking off at all. The carry bag is a fairly small portion of the market, overpowered by cart and buggy users. Even then, your standard carry bag is a only kilo more but adds the water resistant element and the travel capability.

      Absolutely. That's how you look upon it. The offer of a dragon actively involved in your business AND giving you free cash is once in a life-time opportunity. And probably the difference between major success and struggling for years and years or failure for many. It astonishes me that some turn down offers because of the equity requested by dragons for their time and involvement. And others with a reasonable offer haggle down to ridiculous equity levels below 10% which is an insult to these dragons and the fastest way to lose them. Especially if the business (as good as the product and people behind it might be) has no proven sales, assets or track record.

      Why is it greedy? They want the Dragons' money, their time, their contacts, their ability to open doors and get their product into the mainstream. They are clearly struggling at the moment and just money invested is not enough sometimes. I would much rather own 50% of something with a Dragon that makes millions of pounds than 100% of something that makes very little. Look at Levi Roots, he used to sell a few thousand bottles of sauce at the Notting Hill Carnival but he gave a big chunk away to Peter for his investment and is now a multi millionaire.

    As someone who played golf in the past, the product with the extra shoulder strap is certainly better than the usual methods of carrying clubs around the course, and it also provides better organisation of the golf clubs. The thing is for me personally I would buy a buggy because it is easier than carrying clubs no matter how you carry them. So personally I would design it so it can also be either placed on a buggy (doesn't look possible at the moment), or design it so that it has its own wheels (maybe with detachable parts for those that want to carry it, or a separate version of the product). If one added an option with wheels it would be like two products in one. The other issue I see with the product though is when it rains. A normal bag covers the clubs better, so something to fix that might also be possible.

I've seen some that were like "Oh yeah well who are you?" But yeah that irritates me like you're here asking these people to give you money, just not so much the people who do just seem very out of touch with the show and the backgrounds of the people on it.

    The usp of it is that it's supposedly significantly lighter than a bag. Indeed it is. But the bag is only about 10% of the weight of a set of clubs, brolly, balls, car keys, wallet, phone, jacket etc. So at best the weight saving is imperceptible. Plus, a trolley works fine.

    If the marketing lead guy hadn't had equity, I think Peter would have made firing him a condition of the deal. The guy is in charge of sales, but is only selling 2 a day on average. He gave away 1000 clubs but only sold 1250. Then, he leaves his brother to do the sales pitch to the Dragons without him, and when the brother actually succeeds, turns down every proposal Peter makes. I wouldn't be surprised if he just wanted the free publicity, but his brother thought he actually wanted a deal.

  • @Nombuso1

      I don't. They are asking for a big investment and should be full time on the job. Perhaps they should delay then going into Dragons Den until they are earning some kind of wage. However that is not an investor's responsibility. These are business people, not government grants.

      125k 10 years ago, he would be able to take a salary out of that, if the business didn't do well.
      Look at it from Peters perspective, if he wants to make back 125k at 26%, the business would have to profit 600k, meaning the other owners would be getting the other 475k, now peter wants more than just a flat return in 2 to 3 years, so lets say 800k profit at least, now are you going to balk at that much profit? the guy probably made 60k a year doing his day job.
      The brother in law was just dumb imo.

    @MrWindermere123 4 года назад +1

    One function of a golf bag is to keep the clubs dry in rainy weather - the handles of the golf clubs go in first and the 'business ends' stick out of the top. The A-frame is open to the weather, so you'd need a towel to dry the club before you could get a good grip. I don't play golf but I've been a caddy for pocket money as a boy. Golfers spend a fortune on clubs and gadgets that promise to improve their game but this A-frame looks too simple, to un-macho to excite the competitive (generally) male.
