Sara is a very good person that always gives you her heart. And for that reason Jenny Campbell is out

[@BostonPower]

IS JENNY THE SWAMP THING?

[@aftabmohammedify]

Question - Jenny Campbell.. Has she ever invested in anything?

[@scottaddison4784]

Haha

[@Legal_Sweetie333]

Lol !

[@deadnan5224]

And for that reason, Adam saleh likes men

[@andrewjones-productions]

Sara seems to be a very kind and warm person. She seemed to jump in to suggest speaking to the wall to stop George making a quick reply without properly thinking about it. I do think that George got the right Dragon for him though. He's obviously nervous and probably a bit timid and I think Tej has the right character to draw the best out of this talented and affable young man.

[@WarKooban]

I agree with most of what you said but I think 45% is a little too high.

[@soilhands7853]

Yea but think about it, there's no way she's going to beat Deborah as the hard dragon, so as the new woman dragon Sara would want to put forward a different role for herself in order to stand out in the show. Just sayin', she seems nice.

[@helenaville5939]

Tej will have him for breakfast. He displayed a complete absence of negotiating skills. But I agree that he is affable and talented. I hope he toughens up for his own sake.

[@elmo7608]

[@alexedgecombe3562]

You say that but it is that exact character he just exploited to get 45% equity.

[@dikshantmittal144]

Whenever a tech entrepreneur shows up,I always feel that Peter is ready to copy his idea

[@freedomutopuia]

So true

[@erepsekahs]

Years ago...naive as I was, I wrote to a major corporation asking for a meeting with their marketing director. I met with him and told him of my idea......he said, "We've already thought of that." I left, and about six months later they had my idea out on the market. Coincidence? I don't think so. I have never made that mistake again, instead I made it somewhere else....with my employer when I worked in the specialty industrial chemical business. Over the course of my 15 years with them as a salesman and sales manager I developed three multi-million dollar marketing programmes that i experimented with and tested and which functioned extraordinarily successfully. I was, in the first few years very successful with my first idea and was promoted to sales manager for a huge part of the country. 14 years later there was a world-wide depression, (in the early 1990's), and the company, in order to save themselves, changed the compensation rules....which is illegal for 100% commissioned employees and I left. Many tears later my good friend, the Chief operating Officer for the country I lived in who had returned to the United States phoned me and said, "You know all your marketing ideas that you and I discussed and I put together for you...." "Yes"......."I just found out from head office that *%^$ &%#%*% told head office that they were HIS ideas and that you were just test-marketing them for him....you know*^$% he was terrified of you." Where there is money there are no morals.

This guy needs to learn how to sell and negotiate. When he asked Tej "Would u do 40%", Tej responed: blablabla, that was my thinking. He dd NOT say no, and the guy just gave up. I firmly believe he couldv'e gotten 40% or potentially even less.

[@KJ_2020]

yes my thoughts too. originally offered 10% and tej said 45%. by asking 40% tej knew that this guy wasn't going to turn him down over that 5%, so he may as well take it.

[@Th3VirtualGam3r]

It was still a fair deal, 100% of nothing vs 55% of something

[@toproudtooadmitmitsake1842]

@@Th3VirtualGam3r That's not how you value a business... So many misguided people always comment shit like that as if dragons are worth stupid equity stakes.

[@rasierming]

looks the same to me, but, he was there, and we no.

[@TheAazah]

what could he of said to counter that? Tej was spot on no sales high valuation. you can't defend that. if someone is right about something you can't make up excuses.

[@KoopaXross]

It's insane this guy got an offer at all with a 1 million valuation at no sales. I also think Tej should've gone 50% so he could influence the subscription model into the business more as an equal co-owner.

[@elastronaute1198]

I actually don't think that's fair because on many occasions she's said she totally disagrees with what he said. I just think she respects his opinion particularly on tech investments and that is just prudent as he's the most successful dragon.

[@XO43137]

They are not evaluating him properly. It's a great idea.

[@bernhardhillinger175]

I had exact same idea 2 Years ago, just for Vienna. Even did some prototyping with this kind of optimization, some spot where u wanna book for a specific campaign are obvious, others aren't. So in my humble opinion, he didn't explain the data science part well enough, cause it also help customers to get more bang for their bucks. This out door panels come with different price tags and lets say u wanna spend x amount for a campaign and you try to target a specific audience u might get very different results then a human expects. So if the data collecting and AI part is done well, its easily worth that 1 million. I'm surprised that other dragons didn't see the potential of this. But to be honest, seeing myself stand in front of this, i probably wouldn't have done any better, so in that regard well done George.

Then Tej greedily asking for 45% of the company is terrible after all the work that has gone into putting that product together. I'm gradually losing respect for these people.

[@danfrost3043]

Apart from a couple of them I never had much respect anyway. Both Deborah and Tej inherited their wealth, they certainly didn't put the hard work In. Sara you can tell is a lovely, warm approachable person, I do respect Peter Jones who started from nothing, built an empire, then lost it all and still managed to crawl his way back up, I also respect Hilary Devey RIP who started from nothing, grafted all her life only to pass away at a relatively early age. As for the others, It's all about "Money" and other than the afore mentioned people, none of them would give you the time of day unless there was something in it for them. I find Theo the most smug & arrogant of them all.
