@@swegatron2859 I'd disagree. I was born in 1982 and I clearly remember that already in elementary school they were bombarding us with lessons in recycling.

Creating unnecessary waste wasn't ok even back then.
Fun little product, normal valueation for once and healthy figures. Happy to see a deal. My guess is that Peter had extra interest in the factory area in China.

Really doesn't matter. New dragons den gets pushed to my homepage daily, if I've seen it I'll ignore it, if I haven't I'll watch it. You say this has been uploaded 4 times now, but I'd never seen it before so was happy to see it pop up.
But they're not soley single use - house partys/parents would reuse these plenty. Plus its not a farcry away from developing recycling process to remove the batteries. Nothing immoral about you pearl clutcher.
Nightclubs and bars would love these. The problem is, disposing of the plastics. Perhaps using recyclable materials. But how can you create recyclable batteries?
Peter has a lot more credentials in the business world. That's ultimately what matters more, especially when you deal with Chinese contacts. On top of that, he can probably buy-out Peter once he's gotten the value that is Peter's little black book.
I think some of the dragons were really unnecessarily harsh. They had no reason to condemn the product. I’m glad Peter saw through the pettiness of the other dragons
I always find it funny when they offer like 8 percent of their company and expect all this extra help from the dragons AFTER they invest the money...basically asking them to help build your dream while only getting a tiny slice and PAYING to help you...
@@uthmanodedele2220 Someone doesn't watch the show very often. They have connections, are pretty famous so having them involved in your company is a bonus. Lots more...
I don't understand why this would be an investment. The patent he has on this can't be that good if there are already competitors doing it, looking very similar. I think Deb hit it on the head, that there were already competition doing very similar things at the time. I'm surprised they didn't ask more questions about the patent itself, or maybe they just didn't show it.
So Duncan is out because the factory pays its rent. Theo is out because batteries can’t be recycled. Deborah is out because… someone else did something somewhat similar. Absolute knobs.
If the inventor would like to contact me regarding the single use, i can help you make lots more lovely money even if your product stalled . Let me know. Kind Regards
For all those who care about the environment this video is from the times when no one did. Have you seen the dragons? They look infinitely younger than they do now. Bet you two of the dragons on the newest season were in elementary school when this was filmed.
I know what these products need - a wireless charging dock (for restaurants, with multiple docks built in) Make them reusable and rechargeable + Waterproof If possible, with water resistance in mind, a replaceable battery would also be a great feature
I fking hate when they pretend to be so ecologically concerned. A trip with their yachts or jets will pollute x100 more than the few tons of plastic waste.
pitched valuation: £500,000 peter’s offer/final valuation: £133,333 (declined counter-offer valuation: £160,000) anytime I watch one of these pitches, the first thing I do is punch their numbers into my calculator to figure out the entrepreneur’s proposed valuation. the quickest way to do it is cross-multiplication - you multiply the amount requested by 100, and then divide it by the percentage of equity on offer. so for this pitch, it would be: amt requested - £40,000 equity offered - 8% 40,000✖️100 🟰 4,000,000 4,000,000➗8 🟰 500,000 and so the entrepreneur’s proposal values his business at £500K. peter’s offer for 30% equity values it at ~£133K. if peter had accepted the 25% counter-offer, it would have effectively valued the business at £160,000. :)

How can he buy 30% back when the company grows it huge 😮
He'll grow huge with it
Seemed like a humble chap, glad it turned out well
Loved Debra's unhappy face after Peter disagreed with their comments and made his offer

"Patented in China" 🤣🤣🤣
Peter sees opportunity while the others don't
Peter: 你好吗？
The other dragons: Geeeeek.

About 20 years old this clip
I guess this is why I'm not a dragon. I can not believe this was even thought of.
Damn how did I forget these dragons used to be miserable people
Oh yea… Duncan had absolutely no reason just “uhh can’t do it”. And Deborah has been miserable since day 1.
@@aalokjoshi6839 plus back then even if the business was making money they wanted 20-30% , now look at them they will take 5%, proper loan shark program
They were definitely more ruthless than they are now.
You know it's an old episode when only one of the dragons question the environmental aspects, and it's not Deborah.
So, did Deborah Green Credentials Meaden's version contain batteries for landfill?

There is a reason this simple idea has not been implemented. Impractical.

They're obviously biased against him because he's Chinese. That being said I don't like the product from an environmental point of view.

pitched valuation: £500,000
peter’s offer/final valuation: £133,333
(declined counter-offer valuation: £160,000)
anytime I watch one of these pitches, the first thing I do is punch their numbers into my calculator to figure out the entrepreneur’s proposed valuation.
the quickest way to do it is cross-multiplication - you multiply the amount requested by 100, and then divide it by the percentage of equity on offer. so for this pitch, it would be:
amt requested - £40,000
equity offered - 8%
40,000✖️100 🟰 4,000,000
4,000,000➗8 🟰 500,000
and so the entrepreneur’s proposal values his business at £500K. peter’s offer for 30% equity values it at ~£133K. if peter had accepted the 25% counter-offer, it would have effectively valued the business at £160,000.
