Battle Of The Investors | Dragons' Den

Asi Sharabi and David Cadji Newby are next in the den to pitch their children's book, Lost My Name. A business that's so impressive, that they have already bagged a substantial investment of 250K from a Venture Capitalist. But this creates a problem as it leaves little room for the Dragons to negotiate on equity. How will the Dragons react to this?
Season 12, Episode 2.
An international sensation, Dragon's Den features entrepreneurs pitching for investment in the Den from our Dragons, five venture capitalists willing to invest their own money in exchange for equity.

Well, it depends on when this was made. I am not sure. I agree they are lovely books but in 5 years time, this concept could be all but completely forgotten, seeing how trends behave. Onto the next thing for kids. And this concept can be easily copied, I didn't hear anything about a patent for such a concept, which would just lead to a flood of such books and a completely diluted concept.

This is where they are now ! Lost My Name, the London-based startup that uses tech to create and publish personalised story books for children, has raised $8.5 million in Series B funding. It is also revealing an upcoming tie-in with the Roald Dahl Estate, owners of IP such as Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory. The round was led by Ravensburger, a leading European publisher of games, puzzles, and children’s books, so it’s a strategic investment of sorts. Existing investors, Google Ventures, Project A Ventures, Greycroft, The Chernin Group, and Allen & Co, also participated. I understand part of the round is a venture debt facility from Silicon Valley Bank, too. In related news, Lost My Name’s name is lost no more. The startup (not so) quietly re-branded last week as “Wonderbly,” a move that is likely part of a bid to move beyond the company’s original title and only ‘hit’ so far, the wonderful “The Little Boy/Girl Who Lost His/Her Name,” which has sold over 2.7 million copies and claims to be the leading picture book in the markets Wonderblyoperates. Co-founder and CEO Asi Sharabi told me during a catch up call last week that the company has created six new products this year, with more to come. And most impressively, Wonderbly has signed a partnership with the Roald Dahl Estate. The Joint-IP project will see the two organisations work together to “open the gates” of Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory, presumably via some kind of book infused with clever use of data and personalisation. I, for one, can’t wait. The project also ties into what Sharabi told me last year when he said the startup was actively seeking to partner with outside creatives and companies, as it opens up the platform. “Technology and business models scale but creativity doesn’t,” he said at the time. IP as loved as Willy Wonka, on the other hand, is infinitely scalable, so this, along with today’s funding, is a nice win for Wonderbly, a company I’ve always thought needed patient capital rather than bucket loads of move fast, break things-styled VC. That’s something Sharabi doesn’t dispute either, citing the startup’s investment mantra as “added value over capital,” and pressing home that Ravensburger brings over 100 years of operational experience in the children’s entertainment space. As we wrapped up our call, I asked him how he managed to successfully pitch the Roald Dahl Estate, and he revealed that they actually reached out to him. The organisation was on the look out for new creative opportunities beyond its recent ventures into Hollywood and the newly-named Wonderbly seemed just the golden ticket.

I feel its very obvious when a pitch is made on dragons den purely for the TV publicity. I actually think Piers felt somewhat the same and wanted to have an attempt of satisfying for himself if it was the case by making his offer. He would be exposed to further information without question now. I may be entirely wrong but its just a hunch i guess.

[@shodancat1000]

That's exactly what I picked up as well.

[@danriaz9678]

He got the shares in the end so he was being serious

[@MsMaryPatricia]

I thought that's what Duncan was hinting at when he kept pushing them on why they wanted a dragon.

@@MystiCalBEING89 Any company with over 5 million in turnover probably has very good accountants to drop their net profit figures making it look like they don't operate on a profit. Prime example being Amazon.

Duncan "I only deal in misery, if this was a test tube of pure misery, I'd have invested, but it isn't, so I'm out".

[@toniroberts8117]

It is silly to expect a dragon to invest for the same percentage as an investor that clearly doesn’t have the connections and PR as a dragon. Even if the deal falls through, just getting on the show should help the company a lot. I do agree with Deborah that the book would be much more appealing if it was a hardcover.

[@mrjones29]

Shut up Deborah - you're OUT. Well done Piers. Was one of the best Dragons on the show for the two years he was there. Shrewd business mind and got the deal.

Personalised books should offer more than just a name, I think you would need a list of fields. My sister had a personalised Christmas book where she was Santa’s Little Helper and it had me and my brothers name in it also. Also included her birthday.
