Most Faultless Pitch In The Den EVER? | SEASON 19 | Dragons' Den

[@nixmoretta13]

My family said I wouldn't amount to anything either, so I removed myself from toxicity, and built a life for myself. This lady is an inspiration - I hope she is thriving.

[@kodaph]

She truly is and richer

[@wildchark206]

Well done 😘 I can't say the same, but when I was 28 and I called my father out on his abusive behaviour, he physically attacked me and said "In 28 years, all you have brought us is misery." That certainly cemented my decision to not have much of a relationship with him and be content with that. Now, I am married and living a happy life with my wife and dog.

[@Guvna07]

She’s fantastic and I hope her parents watched this episode. I have kids and couldn’t imagine telling them they’d amount to nothing. It really must have messed her up. I hope she’s massively successful worldwide

She is incredible. I have watched every episode of every Dragons den and every shark tank version, this is by far the best pitch ever. She should drop this sanitizer business which is a crowded market and start Dragons den / Shark Tank Academy where she can coach entrepreneurs how to pitch. She will have no competition in that business

[@loficatme]

A very succinct, knowledgable and driven pitch. I'm sure there's so much taking place in the den that we don't get to see and more particularly during the grilling process (especially when it comes to numbers) from the Dragons. Credit to Hannah for managing to tackle those and also negotiate a good deal for her company.

[@donny121able]

She's a credit to herself, with a dragons experience she will go a long way. Good luck...

[@guiltdesignator5333]

Still only trading on Amazon and some shop I've never heard of so her plan went nowhere

[@mlgboy1]

Wow. I was blown away by Hannah and boy do we need more people like her in our business world. What a great and outstanding role model for her Children. I wish her every possible success in her business and hope above all else that she can re-build the relationship with her parents, who if the breakdown in relationship is their fault, realise what an amazing Daughter they have and are missing out on Grandchildren which are one of the most wonderful blessings a person can have. (Only grandparents will understand that)

[@Millennial_Mike]

The way Touker says "I'm not investing and I'm out" always makes me giggle.

[@sunshine201063]

riveting!...the poise, the clarity....with or without this success. she is a masterclass in and of itself on how to pitch to an all seeing dragon....her success any which way is clear...what a well rounded human!

[@rudra7615]

Peter is right, the branding puts her down the toddler market yet this product can be used by anyone. The growth is there so it can be used by toddlers, teenagers and adults.

[@gaurasrspublishing]

Yep, didn't seem a difficult leap for me, so not clear why PJ couldn't see the way to widen the market relatively easily.

[@rudra7615]

@@gaurasrspublishing he would need to refresh with a new brand and start from scratch. Too much work. The dragons want a business that is growing and one that has an escape plan. A plan of selling and for them to pocket a big share. That’s all they care about

[@TheJrbdog]

There's a lot more competition in the adult market for these types of products. I think she found a good niche.

[@robertBuckinghamB-uh5nx]

What an amazing woman just blown away so so sad her parents are not talking to her I hope things have changed she deserves everything good in her life she is so lovely 🙏

[@drumcdoo9050]

What a wonderful lady. From personal experience know no matter how much therapy a person receives over the years, they never truly get over having been written off whilst growing up. Thankfully it sounds like she has a truly loving husband who has given all the support she craved for over the years. Some times you have to look forward to the future and block the past. She has succeded because of wanting to prove to herself she is most definitely worthy and hope she gets all the luck she truly deserves.

[@elizabethbaird3604]

I acknowledge your difficult upbringing and am sorry for it. I had a horrific childhood and can tell you that therapy can allow people to move on completely. You cannot say, based on your personal experience, that adults “never truly get over being written off whilst growing up”. You are ONE person and are in no position to make such a statement. Especially a generalisation that is so lacking in hope. I could state that EVERYONE is able to move on to have full confidence in themselves and self-compassion if they have therapy. Wouldn’t that be ridiculous when I only have my own positive experience to go by?

[@ellenkarlsson9490]

I really hope her parents saw this and understood how wrong they were and what they've missed out on.

I don't think they care to be honest, they raised her, they owe her nothing!!

[@callum9999]

Because the criticism was that the name Toddle makes it sound like it's for toddlers. Just saying "it's family orientated but for any age" doesn't address that at all.

[@CoolCoyote]

her repost should of touched on that though, but she didnt know what to say.@@callum9999

[@JazzyMarineVet]

She could have said it, but it didnt make it out of the cutting room floor. Many of these pitches are 20+ minutes, but the producers have to cut it to 10-12 minutes for TV/KZbin.

[@ProMace]

Hannah's brand name alone is brilliant. And I just love her energy and presence!

[@kokoBuSiLiCa]

This woman deserves every bit of succes she'll make. She's one of the most prepared and amazing people that ever been on the show.

These people are the ones you should be looking for in your business
