Dragons Left Outraged After Supplier's Contract Surfaces "Business Could Close Down" | Dragons' Den

Rupesh Thomas, co-founder of the TukTuk Chai & his wife Alexandra entered the Den seeking £100K investment in return for 5% equity. Rupesh Thomas' background gave the impression of a real-life 'Slumdog Millionaire' story which may be a positive for investors but once The Dragons tried tapping into those all-important numbers, it was clear who had the real control...
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.

Seems to becoming a trend on this show. Say yes to any offer to secure the business and then go straight out and get crowdfunding for far less equity .... I see this show coming to an unprofitable end when the pubic realise that they aren't called Dragons for nothing. return rates of anything below 15% is exceptionally low for them. Yes they lose some and they win some, but 15% is massive return on investment. Pity we can't all have enough money to play monopoly like this.

[@MiniLemmy]

Glad to hear that! I hate to see Peter’s greed get rewarded!

[@zombiegameruk]

@@MiniLemmy how was he being greedy? The company needed a hell of a lot of work

[@MiniLemmy]

zombiegameruk Granted, but not enough to warrant giving away a third of the company - the fact that they are successful despite the deal falling through proves that

[@AlanHope2013]

@@zombiegameruk The fact that he was taking 33% would have been a guarantee he would cough up next time they needed money, or chuck away the hundred grand he was offering. Now it seems they've gone in another direction,. Not sure how that's going to help them in their negotiations with Sainsbury's. Some interesting figures on starrtups.com: 50% of all campaigns are unsuccessful; the average successful campaign is for 7,000 USD (not a hundred grand); and Europe is by far the least successful world region for crowdfunding, at 6.48 billion USD compared to the next-lowest Asia on 10.54bn. So best of luck, but the figures are not promising, and for that reason I'm going to bed.

[@zombiegameruk]

@@MiniLemmy It does justify being an equal partner like he said at the time without an investment they would most likley have closed down. He was the one with the contacts who would have saved the buisness if the deal had of went through so to me that justifys an equal partnership. Saying that tho I am happy they managed to find away to make it work on their own

June 2020 update: When reflecting on Peters offer after the show the pair decided to pull out of the deal and took the crowd funding route instead; they raised over £300k for less than half of the equity Peter wanted. The business is still running and is stocked in Sainsbury’s and Harvey nichols.

[@TomorrowWeLive]

It was a bit mean making them reveal their cost price and jeapordise their contract, and then not even make an offer

[@VENAXIS]

It was required information for the investors to even consider investing. You can’t decide to invest into something that is losing money unless you look at the numbers, cause that makes the difference.
