Top 5 Best Pitches From Female Entrepreneurs | COMPILATION | Dragons' Den

Here are some of the most intriguing, moving and inspiring pitches we've seen in The Den from female entrepreneurs to celebrate International Women's Day.
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.

[@fairlyvague82]

She kept saying ‘I can’t just *give away* 20% of my company’. She isn’t *giving it away* though, she’s exchanging it for £150K and the business acumen of at least one Dragon! I can’t believe none of the Dragons told that to her. She was crazy to refuse Deborah’s offer 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@NotInAsia]

she went bust

[@HK_Musician]

Is Deborah's investment and input into the company going to increase business by +20%.. Surely it would. So it's a good deal.

[@mcnamaraky]

Not only that, but for 15% for 150k, that's valuing a company at 1 million dollars. IDK why most people think that's some crazy low amount...a company with barely any sales or business being done usually isn't worth close to a million dollars.

[@UnleashTheGhouls]

Personally, I think the first pitch is one of the worst. Despite already being in the Den before, she was far too emotional, wasn't willing to budge, fumbled her pitch, and alienated the Dragons by singling out Debbie

[@user-sv5mb7nj9f]

yeah I agree with you

[@jaynebutler3342]

You called her Debbie? Did you not see the episode where she raked the guy over the coals for that?

[@kyokitagawa7977]

Problem was complaining about a few percentages in equity, when Debra would sell a huge amount also with contacts in international/local would make up for the higher percentage in equity held

The first lady was crazy! These dragons are worth more than that bloke she is with. Debra priced herself higher because she can bring more value than him but she didn't see it that way and only wanted the money

Well done wool lady wishing you every success ❤

[@yanyeouleong7922]

Fun fact: In the two seasons that Jenny appeared, she actually made more deals (12 deals) compared to 4 other previous dragons that appeared for two seasons only, Nick Jenkins (8 deals), Sarah Willingham (5 deals), Kelly Hoppen (5 deals), Piers Linney (4 deals)

[@alexjames2522]

The meme is less about her not making deals and more that she wouldn't even make offers (in my opinion).

[@zaidahmed9527]

She had 5 offers accepted, not 12 👍... She didn't have many rejected.... That's because she didn't make many offers, usually out unless her chances to get the deal was high.

[@giantspiderproductions3356]

I think the dragons generally make offers with no actual intention to go through with the deal. Jenny on the other hand has the intention to go through with almost every deal she makes. That’s probably why it seems like she makes less offers.

[@stephjovi]

Just proofs the mysagenist comment section. Always picking a women who allegedly never invests. It's odd

[@dilwich]

You're not a business person if you allow your emotions to rule you.

[@becci42]

Anyone else notice the first lady kept saying that she couldn't 'give away' %15. She was not giving she was getting the value of a Dragon. And then gave it up because of %2,1/2. Silly girl.

[@mycroftsanchez901]

Anyone notice Theo always wants 40%?

[@animaltvi9515]

What was the matter with the first woman she asked Debbie to drop to 15% , so she did , but she decided to continue haggling about it. Got what she deserved . Nothing . Unless I missed something.

[@wvrjl]

You can't use emotion to value a company. You also can't base a valuation on the amount of time you put in.

[@PatrickTreacyAilesbury]

Was she not correct her margin was 35%?. The margin is the difference between the price at which a product is sold and the costs associated with making or selling the product (or cost of goods sold), which is what she said!

[@zhejiangzelda5309]

That's MKO Abiola's (of blessed memory) daughter! One time Africa riches man. If not for the death of her father, the world would have become her playing field.

[@Only1SapphireDiamond]

Thank you, I was wondering who her dad was. God rest his soul 🕊

[@carriepriegel6477]

I came in right before she spoke about her father; my immediate reaction "this beautiful woman is stunning in every way, puts Michelle Obama to shame in every way.... She touched on her family's hardship but kept it together in such a brilliant way":Much 💞 & success to her!! P.s. I'm glad she teamed with Peter - he's my favorite Dragon. He's the most dynamic, savvy like all the dragons but there's something very likable about him. And easy on the eyes 🤭

[@CroakerPro]

We celebrate her father every year in Nigeria on Democracy Day. I hope he passed some of his business acumen to her.

The Hello Fresh dissappointing ad executed with just what u need for cooking no more no less but i like a little extra

[@wvrjl]

For the wire thing, who wants to go inside the house first, push the rod through, and then walk around to the outside of the house to finish up? Keep in mind, the distance from the inside to the outside, is usually not just going around a wall. Wouldn't it just be better to have a fully straight, plastic rod you attach to the wire to, and you can push the rod & wire directly from the outside of the building?? Just a straight rod that you attach it to? That way you wouldn't have to start inside the building, then walk around the outside. I do not think this is a great product, and I'd be more interested in hearing what cable man think about it, then the dragons. Cable men know that walking from the inside to the outside is not always quick, and you shouldn't have to.

[@procrastinathor4594]

It's crazy the first girl didn't take the deal, it's better to have 80% of something than all of nothing

Where is the best 5 pitches from male entrepreneurs ?

[@katec9893]

I've watched two episodes where Jenny makes an offer, then removes her offer after the entrepreneur starts to negotiate with another dragon. She seems to get triggered by them not starting with her first and then bows out. Whereas the other dragons who have also offered deals usually remain quiet and don't get offended if the entrepreneurs negotiate with other dragons first. I don't blame the dragons for getting annoyed with the first entrepreneur, she clearly wanted to own 100% yet have investment.

[@gazthebook]

Always like watching the magnamole one with Sharon Wright. Bet she regrets her decision, Deborah or Theo would have been far the best options.

Magnamole I believe eventually a success, unfortunately NOT with the help of the dragons who according to a later video treated the lady terrible neither coming through with the cash or in fact made contact with her for a long time resulting in effecting her mental health. This information was in a video released by others so not my claim

"When something CAN'T be done: someone has to do it first." No, thats for difficult things. Things that can't be done no one can do first, just because it literally can't be done. This wasn't something that can't be done just something (that's maybe difficult) that was not done before.

[@Maradonaldinho]

The first lady wasn't willing to sell 15% to a Dragon, but had already sold 15% to the guy stood next to her? She'd have still been the majority shareholder with 70% and have two business partners she could buy out at a future date.
