Entrepreneur's Closing Statement Sweeps All Offers From The Table! | Dragons' Den

Ade Andu has developed a self-watering system that solved the problem of overwatering/under watering your plants. Mr. Andu is seeking an investment of £100,000 in return for a 25% equity stake in 'Plant Pal' but Ade's last-minute spill turns all the Dragons off!
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.

Exactly. That's why I dont get why the comments are filled with people saying "Why do they expect x amount for 7%?" They don't! It's a basic negotiation tactic. Never show how much you're actually willing to give away. If you give them an inch, they will take a mile.

[@Nozylatten]

I mean it ain't rocket science... If you a come in saying you want 100 thousand pounds. For 10 percent off someone's business. You are valuing it at 1 million. ☝️ This is how the evaluate a business. 10x revenue, risk, traction. Idk where you guys are pulling percentage from. The fact they add 25 to 30 percent on sometimes, disgusts me because they are putting that on the self' for themselfs when lets be real, its their team who build these businesses not them.

I call BS on the sharks. I don't think their problem was that his attention would be divided. They were mad that they have a piece of the pie and not the whole thing. It was a bad deal for him, good thing he walked. He can get other business advisors for a lot less equity.

[@jonosay854]

I just learned of Doug Richard being arrested for being with a 13yr old back in the day. Now his attitude makes so much more sense

[@Soundwave1of9]

It's interesting to see the change in tone from this early series to the later series, they are overly aggressive and abrupt here.

[@ARFallaha]

They've asked for too much equity but he could've negotiated a better deal than turning them off like that.

[@margareteggleton4270]

He'd probably seen enough and wouldn't have gone in to business with them if they'd paid him. A brood of vipers.

[@pippipster6767]

Can you imagine if somebody said to peter you said enough don’t say anything else. He would completely fall out of his pram.

[@Hi-kq1vi]

Dragons were way too greedy & don't see how there is a lot of work needs doing, or why he needs to be 100% involved-he has delivered them a working product, obviously there is going to be a demand for such things, he pitched well & answered their questions clearly-it is up to them to use their contacts & get this thing into the stores. Very telling that not one of them would put up the full amount themselves-why the hell would he need four dragons when all he needs is one or even two who can get him into B&Q, Homebase & Garden Centres? Surprised with how well he presents that he couldn't just pick up the phone or drop in at these places & give his pitch to them direct.

[@mavemave1073]

Why would he pitch a local store of a national chain? The home office is the one who makes all purchasing decisions. Without a dragon or the right contact, his product will just languish on their submissions shelves until they raffle it off to employees for Christmas or they figure out a way around his patent so they can make it for themselves. There are several retailers on both sides of the pond infamous for both.

[@B_Bodziak]

It was a very, very reasonable price. I thought he was going to doing to quote prices at least twice the $5.99, 2.99 & 1.99. I think the dragons missed out. I hope he was able to succeed!

[@Hi-kq1vi]

@chris brady Several mutli billion porn companies.

[@BeastTheMadness]

It's so unfair to demand of him to not finish his degree. He said dissertation which probably means it was a last stage of studying for him. Seriously you should just lie even thou you prepared to give more of you equity and just say you want to give 5%.

The entrepreneur was to smart for the dragons ! He quickly knew that at 48% he better keep some of his market safe from the vulcheurs .

[@AyoAYO-cm6hb]

The dragons are those greedy and unreasonable billionaires labour want to tax, and I’m absolutely fine with that

[@oxfordeducatedhighschoolhe6989]

Its not that simple.

[@dennismijac8297]

But at the same time , they will tripple your own money !!! A great bargain with other words. They are very skilled

[@thetessellater9163]

If they are billionaires, they clearly have not paid enough tax in the first place!

This shows how evil these "dragons" truly are. They way they tried to pick him apart.

[@MrTheedarkhorse]

That was incredibly greedy of them Then they were upset? I'm sure he was inundated with offers after the show. Or maybe that was his intention? The shows so heavily edited, you can't tell. The youtube edits are even worse

[@helalaman4982]

Poor guy. I think he was treated unfairly. He has a licensing agreement in the US. Why would that take from his time?

@@MsMaryPatricia Why? Consenting adults and all that... you think she got nothing from it? Are you in stoneage?

[@helbentable]

MsMaryPatricia totally agree the 50+ year olds or even 30+ onwards years old that prey and letch over girls that are barely adults are disgusting filth. They are more likely hebephiles which is one step up from the even more disgusting monstrous perverted paedophile. Makes you sick to your stomach and I think the whole lot of them should be hung or shot. Any huge age disparity where such a young person is involved is not ok.

Why is no one mentioning the cheek of Rachel: I want the same equity for a lower cash injection but only if someone else is leading it 😂😂🤦‍♂️

That Rachel (I can't help calling her that) always embarrasses & insults the entrepreneurs by saying that they're not up to the job of running a company.

[@radiance65]

[@cashflow2816]

This guys a genius and I have faith he will be extremely successful

[@tshepokgwele1789]

Lol, I'm glad this is how it ended for him, these guys were planning to rip him off big time 😂😂 48%??!!!!, hell no, good job standing your ground Ade!!

[@Kramlets]

If only he'd mention that contingent on 48%, he would only be able to offer the UK and Europe side of the company. If the equity was at 25%, he'd be able to offer the US company as well. He made it seem like the US company was not up for grabs at all.

[@dabin88]

Maybe he didn't want to do a deal and felt uncomfortable with their conditions and wanted it to fail

[@jcpt928]

Good on this guy for telling them to go stuff it.

[@MrConnorTV]

All he had to do was counter. But knowing the Dragons and how greedy they were behaving, it was not going to work anyway.

[@1ma4ighter]

man these guys were relentless, they ate his offer up along with that equity stake, I woulda trie to settle at fourty. you have got to always go in with a buffer

[@codeXenigma]

Love googling these products to see what happened to them. Sadly he never made it into the big stores and sells on Amazon. Not a lot either. People don't realise business is mostly who you know, and these contacts would have got him a better business. 60% of a lot is better than 100% of hardly anything.

[@hogsaucethedisciple]

Would like to know how Rachel came to her conclusion so firmly from the get go? Who would want to make a deal with these dragons? Some serious undertones here.
