Everyone talks about Tuker's office space but can we mention Steven "I love your idea but it would require too much work from me to make it a business, so I'm out" Every damn time
His interactions are embarrassing “we are looking for great business’s” no you’re not - you looking for great business ideas and concepts at early stage. Guys a 🛎️ end.
@@Nonegiven14582 I don’t think it’s about net worth. Sara understands the market space better than any of them and her direct involvement would have been more valuable than Touker’s net worth
@@WaqarHussain-te7ft The problem is the guy doesn't need another person who knows the space (he himself already does and is top in his class), he needs people who can help him get it into other spaces.
@@Smonnie13forgive me because I just started watching today but someone else already mentioned that Sara's insight wouldn't matter since he already knows his business, Peter being a marketer and supplier is really what the guy needs most of and long term wise both his businesses will prosper instead of just the one business.
Steven was knocking on this man's credentials by saying he didn't know how to run a business, only knew how to create products, thinking everyone else would think and do the same, and when it didn't happen, and to his surprise, not only did the others make great offers but came in under the asking amount he wanted.
The guy doesnt know what hes on about and cant take a debate at all. He cant see beyond his ego and "influencing" Board games are coming back and its obvious the man has a history of success
He couldn't see past the end of his nose on this one. "Why is it better than a normal chess set?" Because you can fold it up instantly and take it with you mid-game, doofus. And it's actually a completely different way to sell MULTIPLE types of board games. But even worse, the guy insisted that it had no value and kept going on about it.
It was excellent he pointed out being able to pick up and resume where you left off the game amidst Steven's critiques; that's a massive advantage over the other available travel sets.
Yes, to be honest i think Sara alone would be the best option since crafting could be part of the business but if Peter will get the other company to he could take it really far with all the productions. Tucker can also take it really far to the baby's world and that's why he fought for this. I love Deborah but on this one I can't see how she will push it 😅
Touker could also offer this chap some prime office space! Wonder if he can source better costs on paper (like he does with fabric) for the company...? Enquiring minds want to know! 🤔😉
I feel he was a bit sexist in his decision. I hope I'm wrong. Sara did seem to be the expert in the market, and Peter was the first to get the best way forward.
I LOVE how Sarah is the only one that is not money hungry if he wanted both he would've said but ge said only one Peter is money hungry everytime he finds out theres another business makin money he ALWAYS wants that also n makes it seem like they have to put them better
@@Erickhetfield lol, I didn't copy and paste it from anywhere you muppet. Five percent is nothing to give up for someone who can transform your business trajectory completely. He is still a majority owner and Peter Jones is in a completely different league in terms of what he offers. You calling it naive just shows how little business acumen you have.
This is a ridiculously good product, bordering on “the best thing since sliced bread”! Steven’s comment “there is a difference between a great product and a business” is just nonsensical; there are plenty of one product companies that have had stellar success!
He is a genius on his craft, but naive in business. Sarah's offer has the best by far. Peter knew he was ripping off the guy and everyone else just realized they could do the same. Only Sarah showed some basic decency. Steven might by a douchebag most of the time, but he was right and knew what was going on.
I can't complain, I have actually frozen like that in front of groups of people too. I have been watching a lot of chess players, and I have never seen them even talk about fold up chess boards.
This is by far the best pitch on Dragon's Den, i think the only person to pitch and own that room. The Dragons basically wanted him so bad they made him better offers than he proposed at the start!
5:55 Most ignorant comment iv ever heard, the guys made a damn board game out of paper and he gets insulted by being told he can't make it into a great business even though he already has one, the dragon is a Mook..
He ripped the guy off and he knows it. I already despise most of them, but this pitch shows how Peter, Touket and even the "planet loving" lady, Deborah, are just a bunch of greedy narcissists.
Not sure why he wouldn't ask Peter and Sarah to combine. Those would have brought different things to the table. Now het gets two pretty much in the same area.
Just proves you dont have to be good at speaking and it doesn't matter of you're nervous. Go for it. They understood he was nervous and saw how smart his product was.
the Dragons know this guy gets a steady stream of commissions, taking a % of those makes this much more low risk. The only question is how much will he need help to run the business side, when the big ticket commissions come in.
Love it when the dragons get the politics going! Shows doesn’t matter how high you go you are all exposed to it. Shame for Sara I believe her passion and experience would have been able to leverage the brand to where it needs to go

Absolutely agree

Yeah the other dragons are investing in PEOPLE but he only invests in complete and running businesses.
It’s because he’s a fraud. Basically a glorified influencer
His interactions are embarrassing “we are looking for great business’s” no you’re not - you looking for great business ideas and concepts at early stage. Guys a 🛎️ end.
Tbf if you watch one of his recent ones he invests in the wheelchair people just bc they inspire him
And an influencer itself is just a shill, by definition.@@thuli9490
Definitely a Sara/Peter combo would have been an ace partnership.
This guy is so clever and confident without being arrogant.
Wish him well........

Spelled Touker not Tuker
No one has commented on the chess moves on the tee-shirt :) 1. d4 d5 2. c4. = Queen's Gambit
I was wondering what that meant thank you
lol i thought it was some computer code. thank you for that
i knew it was a chess move. i havent played in 25 years and didnt know the name of it though.
I'm more of an e5 guy myself... and my response to d4 is Nf6 :P
@@Kernel15 I'm assuming you mean e4?
I’m actually super upset for Sarah, she really wanted this one :(
Sara and Touker are my favourites. I'm so tired of people wanting Peter.
@@Smonnie13 Same. Sara is my fav.

She should've shared it but she became greedy.
if sarah wanted it she should have been willing to go in with another dragon at 10 or 12.5% each. it was clear he wanted a pair, too bad she refused
His creations are fantastic and he got himself a good deal.
"Try it" - Same guy who was too nervous to talk in the beginning
I grow really excited when I see the Dragons giving people a chance. Good on you!
13:55 I think he had a moment of clarity and regret when he suddenly realised "Oh Sara is the best one for this market".
Anything Sara brings to the table, he already brings himself. He is top in his industry, he needs business not understanding of crafts.
i mean yeah she's the only one who offered him what he wanted..
Incredible negotiator considering how nervous he was in the pitch!
Everyone knows the guy got ripped off. He should have take Sarah's offer.

Sara's offer was amazing
What an absolutely wonderful man. Nobody cares if you fumble your pitch when your product speaks for itself. I was in from the first minute.
It was excellent he pointed out being able to pick up and resume where you left off the game amidst Steven's critiques; that's a massive advantage over the other available travel sets.
Steven didn’t have a clue on this one… Just think of the movie deals alone…
Think Sara and Peter would have been the better duo to deal with! Hope he made the right decision

great dude, comes across brilliantly.
They never asked him any figures or forecasts. Once he mentioned his other £200, 000 main business….they were up for a quick in and out profit.
The Best Of The Den
Amazing
Even if I lost all 5/6 dragons, I’d still ask Tuker for office space. In fact, I may do it now even though my startup is in Singapore.
Sarah was ideal for him! So sad he rejected her offer. :(
This is a great example of talent over messing a pitch up and getting a offer, well done to the dude!
This is what the show's all about!! Good plays! cheers
Sara was much more generous, and he didn't even blink twice
Eighty percent of half a million is more than 85% of 250k. He's a smart guy who knows this.
Unless you're being hypothetical, where are you getting those figures from? @@tomj819

Proof that if you are a credible entrepreneur, you can wear what you want to a pitch..
Not really. The shirt reads the Queen’s Gambit in chess notation, so it matches with his pitch.
But in the past Peter has not invested cause a guy hasn’t earn a suit to the pitch

Should have taken Sara's offer

The guy got ripped of and everyone knew it while it was happening.
"they haven't got a scooby-doo what all this is" hahaha ^ ^
What a sweet man! 'Unassuming'...perfectly put.
“And it’s completely recyclable”
One of the coolest things I've seen
I saw this pitch years ago on Sky Paperview
5 times a dragon has helped/encouraged someone to finish their pitch

Seems like a really great guy. I hope he succeeds
He did really well here ! Well done
"Some things that are cool aren't necessarily better" but in this case it literally is!
Sara would have the better choice
What an absolute legend, a master of his craft.
Absolutely brilliant. If I saw it in a store I would buy it without a doubt
This is so cool, although I wonder how durable it would be.
This is a ridiculously good product, bordering on “the best thing since sliced bread”! Steven’s comment “there is a difference between a great product and a business” is just nonsensical; there are plenty of one product companies that have had stellar success!
I think this is where they realized Seven Bartlett is not a businessman and is not an "entrepreneur".
He's an instagram joke.
Deborah is always great when people are nervous.
Rare for Peter to give an offer in Game models considering how often he talked about the last one that failed him.
Touker invested cos he wants to make pop-up office spaces 😂

This guy could be inventing the next holograms we use to detect counterfeit cash notes
Took me a minute to realize his shirt mean's the Queen's Gambit
Do that many people play chess? Is there a big enough market for this? I know he said he'd do other popular games but still.
