Robert SAVES Entrepreneur's 200-Year-Old Family Business | Dragons' Den Canada

[@gimzoso]

Some people know that Robert came from Croatia and his father was a hard working farmer before they emigrated to Canada. I remember an episode where Robert went back to the family farm. It was very emotional. As someone who came from such humble beginnings, Robert never forgets where he came from and the hardship that came with it. I think that it by far the one of his strongest qualities. He's walked the same miles in the same shoes as this family and for that Robert is such an admirable and inspirational business man.

[@abomashi123]

Can’t agree more👏🏻👏🏻

[@konradvonmarburg7733]

Robert's father was a guard at Jasenovac. No pity for him at all.

[@jh4803]

Jim is a good example of how some millions rip off the poor man. Robert is a good man.

[@nick777forde]

Yep, and now he's more like Jim after 10 Years on the Shark Tank.

[@DocRealTalk]

@@nick777forde Of course....you can't be that wealthy and not have your humanity drop at least 5% every year lol

[@QuestionKnife]

Lol there’s been episodes where it was vice versa and same with other dragons

[@andersonaldo1340]

Robert does the exact same shit, hes always ripping people off

[@garystrankman3841]

Oh please you don't think they aren't paying through the nose for that loan money...wake up.

[@Frosty-Lemon]

The daughter's response to her dad asking her opinion on the future of her family's 9 generations of business is 😂 "Well, I don't really know... cause..." I'm 12, dad. 12 years old. You really gonna put this on me?

[@Mogamishu]

12 year old white girls are golden.

[@joewas2225]

& you're laughing about it? Really? Grow up. My mom was the same way. She wouldn't ever make a life changing choice without me. It was absolutely right & good of the dad to ask her.

[@Frosty-Lemon]

@@joewas2225 that's great of your mom! And really a beautiful moment actually, was just commenting on her reaction to making such a huge decision, which was funny and cute.

[@brandon8900]

@@joewas2225 she's 12 she should have no say in her parents property or financial decisions that's just irresponsible. Perhaps taking her opinion into account but not basing the decision off of it. Would you take a 12 year old's investing advice? This isn't much different.

[@colmwhateveryoulike3240]

Lol yeah I thought the same. Funny because it's appropriate.

[@Loruca]

Robert seems to have a gift of reading people. On a Shark Tank episode, an entrepreneur who had invented a portable vinyl player, came in asking for $300,000 in exchange for 20% of his business. Robert ended up offering $500,000 for the whole thing, in order to free up the inventor to go on to other projects. Robert sweetened the pot with an offer of two years employment with a six-figure salary, plus $5. royalty on every unit sold. The inventor really liked that deal. A small clip of the deal on youtube in entitled "Man sells his entire company on Shark Tank".

[@annettesjoy]

That was pretty great. This is why I am not a Mr. Wonderful fan.

[@user-km4ys1js1t]

Did it go through? He did a deal like that where he offered to pay the person's salary for a year, the significantly changed his offer after the show

[@odysseusnissan]

Robert has pissed me off in the past when he's in a bad mood but he gets major props for showing his nice side in this episode.

[@titusmccarthy]

All capitalists are scum.

[@james.sirois]

As much as I like Kevin, I disagree with his comment that Robert offended the rules of capitalism, in fact it's the opposite. Robert makes profit on the loan but allows the wealth to remain in lower scales- the original capitalists strongly believed in reinvestment into the community or else capitalism can't be sustained. So Robert honours this fundamental rule of capitalism.

[@gabhandebrun1871]

Good man Robert not all heroes wear capes

[@abomashi123]

That’s why Robert is my favorite dragon

[@stevediduck9963]

Good for you Robert. Tied of seeing so many people all the time getting ahead by being greedy.

[@kevinbissinger]

That's what getting ahead requires. If you want to be better off than everyone else, that's greed, buddy. If you want to improve society you've got to be concerned about helping others get ahead, not yourself.

[@angryanakin]

@@kevinbissingerspeak for yourself bud

[@laxmiprasaddb7063]

So so nice of Robert! It's not about money always. If you do good, universe will show 1000 other doors for you.

[@user-km4ys1js1t]

does anyone know if the deal went through? I know Robert has had a history of changing the offer during due dilligence, but it would absolutely break my heart if he tried to do that with this family

[@NaveedHassan1]

Robert shows his roots. I admire him and his thought process so much. The difference between him and the other money grabbers is even more evident in the US Shark Tank.

[@stephenjames7614]

Terrible at negotiations, he didnt even counter offer the 50%. And did Arlene ever say she was out?

[@Loruca]

They edit so much out. Who's to know what else was said?

[@ImARealHumanPerson]

Each pitch can take up to an hour. We barely see any of it.

[@leslieludwick1321]

I’ve always thought Robert is an honorable man, and an honorable man is hard to come by

[@daveperkins7645]

Something tells me this is going to be one of the 40%+ deals that fall through in due diligence. Hope not though.

[@MrMarvel1991]

They did an update and it did go through. It slightly surprising because Roberts unusually falls through on 75% of his deals

[@MrLTiger]

@@MrMarvel1991 glad to hear that, that guy was the real deal

[@melltenfys]

in 2018 they still had the farm and were winning some business award with how they handle their products, so im guessing they ended up fine

[@VerdeLane]

This episode is over a decade old! You could've easily googled before typing rubbish!

[@aguineapig3292]

Jim is the most dragony dragon.

[@joanellis9475]

Why would anyone buy one apple dipped in chocolate for ten to twelve dollars?

[@_Y.Not_]

As an interesting twist this guy (near me) and a team of people invented a new machine for cleaning apples of any germs/bacteria/virus so they were clean/healthy before coating them in chocolate/caramel. Turns out the machine could also be used to clean N95 masks of virus during covid. Health Canada gave the gadget its stamp of approval and a production line accustomed to making one unit per week for farmers was making 15 per week with 75 orders (and counting) to fill from hospitals, long term care homes and even the Department of National Defence.

[@catatonicable]

Its right in between British and US Dens, I like it......

[@humbertomartinez5899]

The most deadliest stare in the world! 3:23

[@sebbepersson6819]

Lol okay so a loan might seem great, but he didn't even want to discuss the details of the loan on camera. Big red flag, he might ask for 10% interest, or work out something even more beneficial to himself.

[@domjoseph2007]

Shut up

[@alphapinggmbh6916]

Even if charge 20% until repaid is still very cheap compared to give shares that include land etc.

[@laxmiprasaddb7063]

It's always good to save your stake. No matter whatever is the interest.

[@stephjovi]

Yeah a bit fishy to not mention it on camera

[@TippiGordon]

I have to assume that terms were discussed, but those discussions were edited out. After all "How about 9.175% APR contingent on a minimum market share of 8.4% in 48 months, otherwise the rate goes up to 9.775% for the next 36 months" doesn't make for the most compelling television.

[@ferengiprophet2185]

I like Robert

[@adedaremayowa2637]

Wow that's great

[@andrewvelonis5940]

"I think maybe we'd like to do business with Robert". I can hardly stand such enthusiasm.

[@rosesaredainty5638]

Robert has his scandals moments don’t get confused.

[@titusmccarthy]

He's scummy too. They all are.

[@kevindunlap5525]

Hershey bar: $1.50 Apple: $1

[@draykowolf2293]

There's caramel too

[@jaimhaas5170]

I'd like to think that I'd be more like Robert than any other dragon.

[@LDehaut]

Robert : I think that was very nice. Still will make $ interest

[@ALgamer47]

Kevin not wearing his white shirt black tie throw me off

[@bodhi8260]

Kevin seems nicer in Canada than in u.s. I think he got meaner when they put him in the middle.

[@MrLTiger]

no he was just as mean but the canadian show was edited in a way to make it look lighter

[@grantmonaghan810]

Jim was once my favourite,, but now he wants 50 per cent of most businesses that come on the show. He has become Kevin O’Leary, makes you squirm!

[@jomojojo6603]

Sometimes I feel that, if the owner offered 20%, the Dragon would say 30%. And, like today, they offer 30%, the Dragon wants 50%. Robert offered a loan like a bank. How is that not capitalism?

[@richardcalisi9188]

Robert is the best.

[@TomRelic]

Sounds like a German Accent the lady has? But their family is here for over 200 years?

[@TomRelic]

Sams Club? Thats USA? So they are already in the USA

[@SSIyer]

Despite Robert & Kevin being on the panel.. it doesnt seem to have the same charm as shark tank.

[@MCl0VING]

Missing mark Cuban is the most entertaining shark

[@michaelmccullough5290]

[@endaleabera9742]

Robert saw his father in that man

[@theengineerbox]

Why does almost every person I hear, say Carmel? Is the "A" silent? It's pronounced CARE-A-MEL not CAR-MEL Me: Little Billy, what's your favorite chocolate bar? Little Billy: Carmel Carmilk Me: ???

[@PORCHMANKEY]

I would NEVER buy an apple for $10 lol. That’s silly.

Capitalist Apples.

So Robert does always what Arleen says she will do. Once again Arleen doesnt know when to shut up and just leave the show

This is broke people's shark tank. All the VCs sitting like they don't want to be there.

Having something in you're family for two hundred years then almost loosing it because of price increases is so so sad
