A Frustrating Pitch From Miruji Health & Wellbeing Infuriates The Dragons | Dragons' Den

Alan, the owner of Miruji Health & Wellbeing's approach to pitching in The Den proved frustratingly painful for The Dragons' which couldn't be any further from a relaxing experience.
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.

So many of these pitches are about health & well-being fads. IE, charlatans are coming on this show quite a lot hoping for hand-outs. It's pretty crazy. It's not just this guy, it's everything from that 'aromancer' perfume guy to the vegan granola bar lady too. I'm seeing a pattern here. It's almost like, if you have a good and legit business then there is usually no good reason for coming on this show where you will be offered half of what you asked for half the business anyway. High cost of investment help = desperation. Where are all the plumbers and construction workers with actual innovations? There are too few inventors and far too many lecturers on lifestyle.

His business has merit actually if he does not focus on the weight domain. Headspace is worth millions operating in the same mind space. I occasionally listen to some of this kind of hypnotic audio, suggesting this and that. If done right, it's quite therauputic.
