Can Redfoot Put Their Best Foot Forward In The Den? | Dragons' Den

Tim Smith steps into the Den asking for a hefty £300,000 investment for a 10% equity stake which is hardly a shoestring budget. Will the Dragons' join him on the walk to success or will they give it the boot?
Season 9, Episode 10.
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 episode is from 2011, since then this guy and his family converted the fathers shoe business into 'Goodwin Smiths' which is doing very well!

[@pimpozza]

This episode was from 2011 for those, like me, who wish to know. I think this channel would help us if they told us the date..👍Otherwise I guess we can go on the "wrinkle count" clues lol 😆

What are the odds that the shoe was Debra's size ?

Exactly

[@modelsteamers671]

Well I guess there are only about 4 or 5 common ladies sizes so 1 in 5 sounds about right.

You think he only brought one shoe into the den?

[@lethaltizzl]

I can’t believe how the entrepreneur didn’t realise that having this business in a holding company wouldn’t be ideal for an investor?

[@WinstonBuford]

alot of people like this in the world. incapable of seeing anything from a perspective outside of their own.

[@TheManInBlueFlames]

I can't believe that the Dragons didn't realise that they could just invest in 'Train tracks';, the business that owns all the other businesses.

[@TheManInBlueFlames]

The guy also owned a large amount of the other companies and it wasn't a stretch to invest in his family who were presumably like him.

[@beastmaster9197]

@@TheManInBlueFlames I think that didn’t happen because the Holding company wasn’t pitched at all in that case.

it took them 11 years and they're still not at their actual goal. They watched the boat sail away without any wind and thanked their lucky stars they could stay on dry land

[@taranullius9221]

Even if he kept a steady 400,000 net profit year on year (I doubt it and we don't know if he ever hit that number) it still would have taken 7.5 years to make back their money. Their investment would be a quarter their current net worth. How is this "missing the boat" mate?

[@HaveAGreatDayStranger]

"You would be my boss therefore I'm out" would have been more honest and saved everyone's time.

[@PurpleJamOfficial]

Surprised none of them asked to invest in the holding company

[@KyleMck]

The other business had a spotty track record, I reckon if it was making a profit and his brother and father were there, then he would've received an offer for the holding company

[@jamesashbaugh4320]

If you want money investment from the Dragons, you need to offer equity in the holding company that has a proven record. Don't insult them by offering crumbs like an investment offer in a franchise or subsidiary.

The shoes fold inwards with the sole outwards. The sole that goes on the floor, and is then in your bag? Any germs, dust, (or worse) you step in will be transferred into things in your bag.

The shoes are hideous and made of cheap synthetic materials so I wouldn’t buy them. They’re the sort of thing you’d find in Primark. And I wish I’d had something nice for breakfast, lunch and dinner today but sadly I’ve had a 2 avocado and 4 banana milkshake, 2 litres of veg juice made from carrots, celery, peppers and cucumber and lots and lots and lots of finely grated ginger and garlic and that’s my lot for the day.
