Well he doesn't like it when people don't seem to be all-in on their business. Selling your house shows you're committed and believe in the product

[@45commando14]

So if they took the other 3, they'd have had international patent expertise, an introduction to a power-tool manufacturer with billions in sales & a top tech team in China. I have to say I think, much as I respect Deborah's retail experience, they definitely made the wrong choice.

Deborah is a heavy construction/DIY investor.

[@parkzy2920]

Idk, the other three seemed to not really collaborate well together on this product

[@YTho-ev1ej]

I don’t think they could have gone wrong either way. Deborah’s bread and butter is the construction industry. Whilst the other 3 dragons offered a lot, having 3 might be a case of to many cooks spoil the broth type thing

[@cun7us]

When the dragons start going through their own resume, you know they're about to make an offer 😁

[@JMTEarthworks]

Would be funny if they were like, "I have so many contacts in this industry, I have all the experience you need to take this to market, I invest in many similar businesses, I'm the perfect dragon for you, but I'm not going to invest, I'm out!"

I'm usually the boss in this relationship....' But when it comes to potential mistakes he can make the decision so I can then blame him at a later date......

[@wakeup2theNWO]

👍

[@shuaib2281]

Deborahs not a mistake, cause Sarah indirectly confirmed the patent won't be an issue. Also having one dragon with 25% is better than 3 at ten cause Deborah highlighted everything the other 3 said, so it reduces conflict and her having 25% a meaty chunk ensures that she will be an active investor. The other 3's plan was Tej just introduces, sarah just ensures the patent and touker just manages the team in china , But Deborah already had a supplier in mind and can get expert help for a patent, also finding a manufacturer in china isn't really hard especially with a patent.

Tej wants to license, I assume they weren't keen on that, and having 3 dragons is not necessarily better. Plus theyre in great hands with deborah

[@etherealessence]

I would disagree. Imagine having to deal with and co-ordinate with 3 investors separately. While each of those 3 dragons had value they could add, having all 3 with their hands in the pot could get problematic. And Like ScopeY said, they might not have been keen on licensing it, and even if they were, it wouldn't be impossible to do without Tej.

[@stockmaster6620]

They made the right choice to go with one. the three would be fighting for dominance and make it a shit fest. Management wise it's a perfect decision
