Could This Bionic Glove Company Shake Hands On An Investment? | Dragons' Den

Mark Richardson, owner of Bionic Glove Technology Europe Ltd is seeking £100,000 for a 40% stake in his company. He's pitching a bionic glove that has the ability to be utilised for sports and gardening. The original invention was created by Dr. Jim Kleiner, an orthopedic hand surgeon.
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.

This has to be one of the best pitches in the Den that seemed like it was doomed to fail until Theo stepped in with his childrens inheritance

[@WaterFlame957]

😆😆😆

[@JazzyMarineVet]

A good chap. Sharp, neat, agreeable and sending out good vibes. He took no with a good attitude and respectful smile.

[@JakB1]

Seems so easy doesn't it.

[@noahbawdy3395]

Mark has done one of the best pitches I've seen.

[@turbochrist]

Sharp and totally realistic. Good man.

[@WaniZame]

That’s what won it for him. Theo recognised that he was extremely competent, honest and fully understood the value and limitations of his business and what he needed from them. Was clearly worth a punt because they wouldn’t have to manage him at all.

[@TheManInBlueFlames]

Honestly, this guy seems really good. He's got an answer for everything.

[@moogleking]

Never saw someone with that much enthusiasm for a glove - Theo

[@GennySavastone]

[@saigampaa4185]

So calm and enthusiastic pitch. He seems like a great person best wishes to you mate. Hope you gonna make this business multimillion pound business

This is was you call a highly competent and astute businessman. Even salesmen could learn a lot from this guy. You don't need to be loud, brash or overly confident. Cool, calm, measured and precise. I really enjoyed this pitch and questions!

[@eziokwubundu5319]

This is a good example of great personality. They invested because of his personality. Just my thought.

[@karthikhegde9752]

You're correct..

I find this more tolerable than Shark Tank, downright enjoyable even. The dragons are more methodical, more calm, more calculating... The sharks however are much more aggressive, far more bitey, though I am unaware of how often the products of each set go under... Went under? Does this show still air?

[@rebeccaspillane6899]

Yes it still airs! There was a new series last on a few months ago

[@stephjovi]

Quick Google search shows they're sold in many sports stores and Amazon. But if course if bionic was already a big brand and company that's not dragons den material

[@ChipZilla69]

He was great.

He could easily expand the brand to include baseball and football (🏈) gloves

[@M0u5eCl1ck3r]

He doesn’t own that 11m company or that 120m company. He just has the rights to sell the product in Europe from the 11m company. After the contract, he won’t be allowed to sell any more. So his 100,000 for 40% is just to be allowed to sell the product. Idk if that made sense haha
