@@Islamicknowledge-yx8rt Nope 😁 Of course you do get those people who really have a good pitch BUT... The most dramatic is of the 2 guys who were trying the “Pyramid scheme.” Which if you’ve seen the American version of Dragons Den, it’s called “Shark Tank” lol watch @Coffeezilla ruclips.net/video/guY6w20Lv6o/видео.html
Don't these people watch Dragons den before they go on. You are not gonna get investment unless 1. You fully own the company 2. Its your only job 3. You have a patent 4. You are not hiding another business 5. Jenny is not sitting in the seat
people with part equity have gotten investments before BUT it has to have a fair selling point and it helps when two or more of the shareholders are in the den
Agreed, he started off saying he owned 100% of the business (which you would think includes the ip when it is the main product he is selling) & he even brought up the patents in China & the US (knowing damn well they couldn’t sell there) - trying to make the deal sound more lucrative than it was
He is currently doing this business on the third company. The first and second was dissolved. He seems to be doing okay (celebs sponsorships and being stocked in Lidl etc) Has a lot of bad reviews online though.
What a weasel. Claims to own 100% of the product. After questions of patenting came up, up comes a new name: Ken. All of a sudden it’s ‘we’ not ‘me’. And Ken owns the products rights everywhere except Europe. The only place where the patent has been pending for 3 years. This guy’s whole set up stinks to high hell.
Evan Davis: Will the child patent hold up to the scrutiny of the dragons? Peter: I've examined this patent and you've only patentented your childs hair. Deborah and I could easilly replicate this idea without the hair. Deborah: I disagree with Peter, I don't think we could replicate this idea! I think you've got something here, it's a shame the patent is worthless. I'm out! Theo: I'm not wasting my child's inheritance on your child. I'm out!
"if by own the product you mean that I am an unpaid intern with the contractual right to sell the product on the condition that three years from now the patent holder can then end the contract and seize all my profits and business as their intellectual property... Then yes I own the product."
Just a bit later: “Ken designed it.” “WE went to China” turned into “HE went to China” And there were a few more of those changes in his pitch/babbling.
The deal wasn’t "too confusing for the dragons to invest." It was pretty simple, really - this guy couldn’t be trusted to tell the truth. You don’t go into business with someone you can’t trust, especially when you know they don’t own the rights to what they’re selling.
I don't know whether I like this product. I can see the appeal in it, it's not always easy to find baby changing facilities. I've got to question whether it's actually more hygienic to change a baby in the same spot they relax, play with their rattle that they stick in their mouth, throw their dummy around and sometimes eat. Also, anyone who's seen baby poop will know full well that it's normally not solid. If any of that poop gets onto the wheels of the pushchair without the parents knowledge, it's be all over Tesco before you know it!
Not a mom, but I am the oldest of 8 kids and have changed a fair number of diapers in my time. It'll be easier to have a fold up mat, and put that on a park bench, or even on the grass to change your baby. And then that mat goes in your diaper bag and not where the baby sits. I could never justify buying a stroller with this added feature to replace an item you can sometimes get free in a box of diapers (where my mom got one of her changing mats), or even just use one of your baby blankets and accept that it's going in the wash the second you get home. Plus, strollers are not hygienic at all. You store them in the garage or the trunk of your car - both of which can get all sorts of rodent and bug infestations - and i'd bet most people don't wipe their strollers down regularly. My mom got a stroller from a friend that straight up changed colours when she put the fabric parts through the wash. It's not a good product, its a gimmick product that first time moms will buy because it's got that extra feature, and then they'll use the stroller, but not the changing table
He "forgot" to mention in his pitch that he only had European distribution rights to the product and he let it slip that he had some sort of conflict with his existing business partners. I'm surprised all Dragons seem to have missed that slip but maybe it was because they had already made up their mind.
You could tell by the look on his face that he knew he was chancing his arm. Did he really think he could out wit these highly experienced entrepreneurs
@@benthompson8256 The point @Mr Paul was trying to make is that he was clearly hiding information which is a big red flag, it got nothing to do with where "all the dragons started"
@@leeshanpillay1253 here’s the thing. The deals you see on the show are not final by any means. What you see in the show is a handshake and then both parties go into a due diligence phase where they get to look into the books of the company before any contracts are signed. There is no chance that an investment would have been made in this product without the investor discovering his complete lack of ownership of the IP and distribution rights. So really what you have here is a person who got into the show for the publicity.
3:15 When he said "highchairs" I first thought he said it accidentally instead of "buggy" under pressure. And when it turned out not to be the case, that's where I knew it'd all go wrong..😂
@@tuilleri the short of it is this. Ken has used this guy to help set up certain if not many areas of the business while at the same time using paper work to crucify him an cut him out of the deal. An then Ken used the dragons to break the news to him after its all said an done. Not to mention the product which is highly marketable an will likely make big money in markets outside of Europe and the uk regardless . A product that because of the help of him Ken can now pretty much already take it to market wherever. On top this guy is expected to maintain a large “hype” to continue the business while complying with sales targets. An if he can’t manage that then all is lost anyways. He was screwed on every level
It's surprising how many middlemen try to get investments on this show. "I'm technically dropshipping this product please give me a quarter million buckaroonies."
I hate those kind of people. I'm not even sure if they're aware that they're being dishonest. Or maybe they just don't care. They'll never give you any kind of vindication or admission of guilt.
Yeah, my gut instinct was correct. This guy is effectively a proxy for this unknown unseen person who is the inventor and ultimate business owner (despite not currently a shareholder or director - very shady); he has a fulltime day job, and was trying to con a dragon into investing into the company to boost the EU distribution whilst he effectively extracted a commission of the sales in the form of a salary for his time and effort. I would be surprised if "Ken" wasn't someone he has only spoken to online.... and required the investment and promotion to actually secure the distribution deal. If he got the investment (guy is naive to think there wouldn't be thorough due diligence) within minutes of the episode airing Ken would have this product on Amazon, bypassing that business entirely.
I thought the second the dragons heard about that £1,000,000 pound turnover all the dragons were going to spend the rest of the pitch trying to become a shareholder of that business
That company is owned by Adam and 2 other guys. Adam alone is not in a position to give a portion of that company away, unless he takes a large cut out of his portion and gives it to the Dragon(s).
James was the last one standing. He had the perfect opportunity to offset his risk by asking for a stake in the guys original business, but seems like everyone had forgotten about it by that time
@@I_am_a_cat_ I was commenting more on Peter's tendency towards standoffishness against entrepreneurs, and finding it justified in this instance. Not claiming to possess more business knowledge/sense than a literal billionaire?

(when asked by Theo, "and who owns this company?") 3:03 "yeah" (when asked by Theo, "and you're doing this on your own.") Six false statements in three minutes. I'm out.
All the dragons are ofcourse very experienced and great business people but Peter, Duncan and Deborah are the mt. Rushmore of Dragons lol. I loved Duncan and Peter's breaking down of reasons to reject this deal. Theo was on point too.
He wasn't being taken for a ride by Ken. He knows exactly what he was doing. He is a glorified salesman and a gold digger. Hence he wasn't looking for an investment out of Caan because he knows the ship has sailed. He was looking for a review for advertisement, so he asked "how is the product James?" It was a win win situation for him.
100k pounds is nothing to these guys and the product seems cool and could take off, but yeah I agree with them that Adam lied at first by saying he 100% owns it. not worth being business partners with someone who is dishonest.
He owns nothing, so he wants 100k from the dragons for a percentage of zero. Now I didn't do a finance degree but even I know that isn't a smart deal ;)
Obviously a reupload. But, I never noticed that slight hesitation when they first asked if it was just him in the business. He almost spilled the beans on Ken then.
At 2:59 he said to Theo, "I own 100% of the company, but then he said to James at 11:59, "I never said I owned the company." *It sounds like his partner in the States is using him.*
I think they bring these people in on purpose to just bomb on the camera like they do with reality TV shows like Got Talent etc but try make it seem more subtle/less forced
I wouldn't watch Dragons Den without people like this. It wouldn't be entertaining and it also wouldn't be an accurate depiction into the world of business or humanity for that matter.
I get the feeling most of the first part of this pitch was cut out of the final edit. Theo is being totally arsey for no apparent reason in my opinion and it seems like we're not getting the full story of what had been said before hand.
I reckon Ken is the real conman and Adam is his mark. Adam wants to be a conman too, but he's swimming in the wake of a bigger shark in Ken. Ken has tricked Adam into thinking he's a business man when actually he's just Ken's employee.
Should have included Ken in the whole business. 50/50 business then diluted to whatever the dragon offered. Not seen the whole episode yet so only commented when Ken was mentioned
None of the Dragons mentioned the obvious, when my kids were little we could change them in a regular pram by just sliding a travel change mat under them!
“Your business is far worse than worthless. Any time, effort and money you put into making it a success will be taken away in a heartbeat.” Dragon’s Den: *”The entrepreneur struggles to get his pitch back on track. “*
Do you expect saints to be starting a business selling 100e worth of product for 100e? Them people would never be able to run a business like that. Every business owner is trying to make money so its a cutthroat business
He was basically wanting them to take all the risk. He only technically had 3 yrs righrs to the patent so if ofher dude pulled the rug investirs left with nothing
They weren't dealing with the owner at all. This guy was more or less a franchise owner on a 3 year lease. 100k for a percentage of nothing is nothing. Also 2 containers for a commodity the size of a pushchair isn't that many units.
The guy said He owned it And did not mention he did not have world rights or any rats a child maybe after three years until it was dragged out of him which was crucial to the investment

They need to screen people before coming onto the show. Wasting people's time.
I think they bring these people in on purpose to just bomb on the camera like they do with reality TV shows like Got Talent etc but try make it seem more subtle/less forced
They screen them but want people like this
I wouldn't watch Dragons Den without people like this. It wouldn't be entertaining and it also wouldn't be an accurate depiction into the world of business or humanity for that matter.
@@philtabest Ah yes Dragon's Den, where true scholars look for interpretations of human nature itself.
@@MsMaryPatricia Totally agree! Calm seas dont create sailors.
"So, who is Ken?" I snorted.
Who the hell shows up with the product if they dont own it? And who ever does own it is not there? Why?
I get the feeling most of the first part of this pitch was cut out of the final edit. Theo is being totally arsey for no apparent reason in my opinion and it seems like we're not getting the full story of what had been said before hand.
Yeah on average the entrepreneurs are in the den about 3 hours so we don't see or hear most of what's gone on
4.49. Deborah auditioning to be the next Bond villainess.
A two-bit con man. A chancer. The kid who always copied his work from his school-mates and thus learnt nothing.
I reckon Ken is the real conman and Adam is his mark. Adam wants to be a conman too, but he's swimming in the wake of a bigger shark in Ken. Ken has tricked Adam into thinking he's a business man when actually he's just Ken's employee.
You own another company?
Yes, it makes a million turnover.
What did you do before?
I was a mannequin at H&M.
Should have included Ken in the whole business. 50/50 business then diluted to whatever the dragon offered. Not seen the whole episode yet so only commented when Ken was mentioned
He's a bit like B0ris and Jenny: ''I'm in but I'm out''
0:42: "It's launching with Mothercare..."
_Can only go one way from here._
Welp, mother care no longer exists
Damn he's actually doing well, selling on Argos, Lidl and other places with hundreds of good reviews.
He did not say the truth, until he was unmasked.
None of the Dragons mentioned the obvious, when my kids were little we could change them in a regular pram by just sliding a travel change mat under them!
Yup. We had a baby bag with a mat that snapped on the outside.
“Your business is far worse than worthless. Any time, effort and money you put into making it a success will be taken away in a heartbeat.”
Dragon’s Den: *”The entrepreneur struggles to get his pitch back on track. “*
I think it's a great idea...especially when there's not a change room available
You can throw a $1 mat (carpet square) in the undercarriage. Once you're up to 3-4 kids, you learn to improvise!
In every dragons den video comment section, there is atleast one mention of seaweed lol.
Did he just say, "How do you feel about it Jamesie?" 11:10
"Shifty business people rejecting sketchy business people" should be this shows name.😂🙃
Do you expect saints to be starting a business selling 100e worth of product for 100e? Them people would never be able to run a business like that. Every business owner is trying to make money so its a cutthroat business
@@benthompson8256 You are assuming facts not in evidence. I never uttered anything like that.
He was basically wanting them to take all the risk.
He only technically had 3 yrs righrs to the patent so if ofher dude pulled the rug investirs left with nothing
He just wanted them to bung him a few quid so he could get some stock in, his mate Ken wouldn't give it to him on tick, lmao 🤣
I bet Barbie was fuming with Ken. And for that reason, Jenny is out
Clearly one that got away.. My Babiie are a huge company now that collaborate with all sorts of amazing celeb mums 🙌🏻
They weren't dealing with the owner at all. This guy was more or less a franchise owner on a 3 year lease. 100k for a percentage of nothing is nothing. Also 2 containers for a commodity the size of a pushchair isn't that many units.
His mate Ken is the real owner of the company along with Rory. They devised the idea during a windy walk along the beach hunting for seaweed.
Did you see at 11:05, Adam called Khan "JAMESEY"😉🤗
This pitch seemed remarkably more complicated than it needed to be. Great CV but there was no clarity throughout the process
Surely the double wheels should be at the back?
Is it just me, or did Peter just repeat everything the guy said, but in different words to make it sound like the guy was hiding information?
The guy said He owned it And did not mention he did not have world rights or any rats a child maybe after three years until it was dragged out of him which was crucial to the investment
Wow such a manipulative person. I was praying James should not invest in this guy
Using their names in conversation to try and win them over smart man, (although it ultimately didn’t work)
Ramei Malek
So enthusiastic and passionate pitch.
Looked like he was about to pass out on the way back to the stairs 🤣
