They could’ve just given some bs answer like “we were desperate for the cash so we took a low valuation”, but instead they went with the only wrong answer of “we value them more than you”.

[@sia.b6184]

Exactly , so amateurish to be honest ... Or they could have spoke about each of the mentors at startmate , stated each and every network those mentors bring and said , they have a successful network of investors so each one brings something different , since there is 6 of those people it commands 6x the value (maybe not as harsh) but there abouts ... In all fairness startmates network is good so they could have focused on that in detail to state the differences in value proposed ... All us entrepreneurs find it difficult to challenge when clear numbers are presented ... It might not have got them the investment but atleast it wouldn't have looked as blatant .... Essentially what they did was wrong anyway so the best you can ask for is to get out not looking like a total con man .... 6 times the value only after a few weeks is a rort no matter how you look at it ...

[@mathewtekahu9066]

Exactly my thought.

[@B-RaDD]

I was sitting here thinking a good answer would've been...."they made an offer at that time of our business and we accepted, and if an offer is made here that sounds right for us we could accept as well, what do you think"

[@bertenheimer]

Or that they weren’t as large of a company before

[@mikethompson5966]

should have just said the previous investor bought in at an earlier date with much higher risk...

[@tylerdavisson355]

Exactly what came to my mind immediately. How could they not just say, "Their investment was at an earlier date and their investment allowed us to re-evaluate our evaluation of our business to what it is now that we're asking of you sharks." or something along those lines. Also, Shark Tank Aus is so cringe, the Sharks seem to be so far up their own asses 99% of the time it hurts to watch. Like how for some reason these Sharks think that shares never fluctuate in value. At the end of the video Janine says something about how can it be valued at X then weeks later be valued at 600% higher. Shits cringe.

[@quark_E]

Really upsets me that they only gave their tech cofounder 3%. That's insulting considering he actually built the fucking platform and they're just the idea guys

[@quark_E]

@Ego Master The other guys wouldn't be able to put anything in if he hadn't built it. Doesn't make sense from a business perspective either. You tend to get further diluted as you go so how is 3% suppose to keep him motivated now, let alone when he gets diluted to 0.3%?

[@quark_E]

@Ego Master They literally are gonna have to pay out the ass to replace him if he leaves. That's why the sharks made it a point to ask if the tech guy was still on board. You ever try to work with someone else's code? It can be a fucking nightmare sometimes. It takes time and engineers are expensive. You're view is why a lot of tech companies founded by non tech people go belly up. There's no respect for the work that goes into making the platform.

[@ibendover4817]

​@Ego Master "Working with others code isn't that much of a nightmare"..Famous last words. This rarely applies to startups, even the most simplest ones a lot of times. It may be more difficult since it seems the app was built by 1 (possibly underpaid) guy with no peer developer reviews during the coding process.

[@whispersinthedark88]

[@exapsy]

@Ego Master "It's a job'. No it isn't. It's entrepreneurship. A job is a 9-5 career with standard risk-less outcome. This is a life risk. It's a time and money (by sacrificing his time instead on something else) investment that he will have to live with for the rest of his life. 3% for someone that has built the business, for a software that may be worth $50k-$200k (that's how much software engineers are valued per year) is a huge middle finger to the tech partner's work and risk that he's put into. The whole startup is based on his work. The idea is utterly useless if the implementation sucks.

At first I thought it was a great idea because I love to make notes, than I realised that if I want to learn a subject I wouldn't want to read something a student have produced, because students are obviously still learning, and I'd rather learn from materials produced by teachers and people with real experience in the subject, plus it's very easy to find content for free on the internet.

This would be additional to that. You would still have your textbooks and in-class learning and mentoring but notes can provide a valuable supplemental piece of information.

[@mapachem4828]

some teachers are kind of as*holes and someone that already took the course know what they want, thats the major advantage in my point of view. The majority of the university is learning to pass tests, not just knowledge of a discipline but also knowledge on what the teachers want. Where I studied we really depend on each other to understand things because a lot of teachers didnt explain us anything, even some of then didnt even teach, they just took tests every class of whatever they send us to study. It wasnt law school it was an engineering degree so wasnt easy study and learn everything by our selfs alone. Other students explanations are a real advantage.

[@Jessica7318]

@@Timthevapeman44 Taj on Draong's Den I find I can do without. He seems pretty bland. The same for me goes with Jenny. Deborah, I must admit I find to be a staple of the show. Her, Peter, Duncan in the old days... to me they really had their niche and their specialty. There is also something very camera-friendly about Deborah. In a show like this, there's a great value in a dragon willing to be more talkative. Personality and charm aside, there's nothing more dull than when a dragon says: "I like this, but it's not for me and I'm out." or just "I'm out." Now, it'll happen to everyone at some point, the sheer number of pitches they listen to and the editing, you won't get a novel from every dragon on every decision, but dragons (or sharks) who are willing to explain their decision more often than others will provide a little more value to the 'watcher'. I love hearing the 'explanation' from a dragon as they assess the situation and explain why they're making an offer they are, or why they're uninterested, the struggles they see down the line, and the reason they can't justify an investment. Whether it be: - Conflict of interest (dragon/shark is involved with a similar product in another company). - Numbers not adding up - De-motivating an Entrepreneur (when the amount of equity they'd have to ask for is just so high the entrepreneur would own a very small piece. The result of this is that the entrepreneur is likely to lose motivation for it, which they'd still have if they could make more of the upside etc). - Not being a natural fit (the dragon can invest the 'money' but isn't a 'natural' investor. Every dragon tends to specialize in something, or have their area of expertise, and a 'natural' fit comes when an entrepreneur needs help in an area a dragon is an expert in. Those are the ideal partnerships) - Market knowledge (When an investor can love the entrepreneur, but simply know 'so much' about the market that they just get this strong feeling the entrepreneur is not cut out for what's coming. There can be this feeling that based on how the industry works, they know what the entrepreneur would need to succeed, and they also know what they look for in those first few minutes of meeting the person. It's very possible they can get the impression this person is unprepared or unequipped for what they'd need to do to succeed. They also know what this person is up against and knows more about what this person will have to face than this person thinks they'll need to do. As such, they have to refuse getting involved because they don't want to step into a bad situation trying to 'save' it when they can enter a situation that is more likely to succeed or encounter less struggle, and they have a better chance of making a victory more 'complete' rather than turning an outright slaughter into a 'well we gave it our best!'.) All this to say, I think as viewers of the show, we really benefit from Dragons who are entertaining and inspiring, we have our favorites and they stick with us. We love certain dragons, and some will always irk us and get under our skin. Personality, engagement, whatever draws you to a dragon is really up to you. But as a general principle, I like when Dragons are willing to 'explain' their reasoning in more pitches than not. An example of a reasoning that leaves me dumbfounded can be represented in: "I love this. There's definitely a market for it, you're clearly very good, you know the industry, you've done a lot with a little, no debt, you're doing everything right and I wish you all the best. I also really see how I could help on this so I'm tempted. I really am. But I'm afraid on this one I'm going to be out." To me, there's not really much explanation there as to why the dragon wouldn't invest. If they felt they couldn't help, I could accept that. "You're doing everything great, and I'd be tempted to give you the money just to see what you do with it... I have no doubt I'd get a return, but that would just be me adding money without being what you 'really need' as a partner, so I'm going to be out on this one since other investors would be a much better fit for you." - I could totally get that. But to say everything is great and you could help, and you won't without saying what it is that has you deciding against it feels tougher on the viewer to get, when in a very next pitch your comment might be: "I like this. I'm going to make you an offer." All in all, Deborah is really known for being one of the more outspoken sharks and she does give the editors a lot to work with. Peter was the same, as was Duncan.

There are lots of rules that make it to where the information shared in the classroom are reserved for the paying students." I agree with the intellectual property NOT being given out.

There was a professor who had spent most of his adult life doing research and linking specific texts together in order to demonstrate how Literature piggy-backed off each other through the course of history. The difficulty to track down all the information, rare texts, multiple languages, the contextual originality and demonstrate that information in a coherent manner was impressive.

I’ve learnt it’s a lot better to read notes that are extremely focused on what the student needs to know (my uni provides these, but I know most don’t) over and over again, than what it is to spend a lot of time reading the textbook, attending lectures etc. which have a lot more information, but much of it is not really that relevant. Even with a service like this, if the notes miss something or contain errors, that’s fine - just do your best. No student is expected to get 100% on tests / the exam and the fact that it will contain the vast majority of the information needed, will help most students a lot more than a thick textbook as it is just so much more focused on what the student must know for the subject.

There was nothing wrong with that valuation as far as tech start-ups are concerned, once a big combinator picks up a stake in your company, the value automatically doubles or triples. Unfortunately these sharks are cheapos, so even these guys didn't expect an investment from them. Mark Cuban would have snatched this up in a jiffy. They even said they are going to US to get a few more rounds of investment, so most probably they just came onto the show for some publicity.

These two are what people think the difference between 6'0" and 5'11" is.

[@dubayyuae8696]

and as a HARVARD GRADUATE, YOU NEVER TRUST ANOTHER PERSONS NOTES!!!!!! One wrong word or one misunderstood cliff can cause you to fail

[@clairejohnston2122]

Is Andrew the commentator of the show 😄 he always recaps 😆 i love him

[@garbygarb31]

Yes basically. Just like Kevin is kind of the moderator of shark tank US. He always recaps and tries to nudge people towards making a decision.

[@mynamejeb8743]

i mean most lectures are recorded online. and most people i know in my uni prefers to listen to the lecture recs instead of reading notes coz there might be mistakes, etc. and now we have to pay for unreliable student notes? and no one buys textbook anymore. Alumn of University of Auckland ,New Zealand here

[@JerryNordstrom]

Oh man, people will be abusing that platform immediately. Using AI to scrape content from every course book sold, generate notes and uploading it to their platform.... and what tech can validate that any of these notes have any quality? Many people take notes, few take good notes that are written in a way for somebody else to interpret and consume.

[@TheCollabCurator]

What better way to learn? Go to class, pay attention, and take your own notes!

[@rileymadison8510]

I can’t 😂 I struggle to differentiate the important info from the other. So I end up writing basically the whole textbook worth of notes that aren’t even all the most important info!

[@mapachem4828]

Wow we actually had a web page just like that. It had everything, even previous test, not just notes. It is not necessary that kind of money to set it up but also nobody of the lazy students wanna pay for that. Everybody used our web, nobody gave us sh*t, we dump it 1 year and a half later and the people just bully us for the contents when it went down. We know the people thats studing in that uni now is still using our materials but only if it is free or if they can bully you into give them it for free. And yes, we were a bunch of nerds. Ah BTW teachers hated the page but they suspected of other people, never knew who we were.

[@jasonxhx7854]

That same dude always gives valuations but when it's not something simple he can never do the math.

[@GSungaila]

1. If you attend a class X by professor Y all the questions in the exam will be based on the material of professor's Y presented in that course 2. So in ideal situation an end-user needs the exact notes, labeled notes on professor's Y course X. 3. Lectures are protected by the copyright so it would be professor's Y copyright infringement. If he had presented his ideas in a book published by a company, a publisher could come after you too. In case of notes from a unknown professor's course you could Google that for free more than 10 years ago so I think at the time of this show it was already available for free

[@HyperMario64]

Sharks really pressured them in a shady way. What if the company actually increased more than 6 times their sales since that point? They want to buy the small guys for small equities because that's "what's it's worth today", but when they have grown, they can't take the appreciation anymore? Don't understand how these two competent guys did not explain that their company objectively gained in value, or perhaps the editing is misleading and they cut it out. They should not be destabilized with these silly accusations if they actually have growth. Either they lie on their growth, either the show is deceptive in the final cut.

[@Bmedeiros-youtube]

The photoshop editor had some fun in the thumbnail didn’t he

[@martino5742]

Their mindset being, "money doesn't mean as much to the sharks because they're so rich" ya no

Two fellas are not rude, Sharks are rude.. Honestly..

Got Dexter selling class notes here

[@YummyFood454]

All they had to say was they have less of the company to give out now which increases the price per share! Bam!! Easy and understandable response

[@wioi]

Lmao that doesn't even make sense. The company isn't worth more of you have less of it.

Lol. Got my 4 year degree in 2013 in Comp Sci and Bus Admin, never typed a single note.

[@regissullivan1767]

The short one mouthing $hit was pure gold

[@KungFuChess]

The problem I can see is someone buying the notes on their site and reselling them again on another or even the same site

[@darkhorse888]

You can absolutely value it at a different rate. 1. you may have under valued it in the first instance. 2. there is advantages to rounds of investment which includes greater percentages of the business for higher risk. In short, the sharks here were looking at previous valuations not future valuations and in a sense were trying to get yesterdays price. thats not how things work and they should know better. The young guys did seem under prepared on what they wanted and pitching but I am sure they will learn from the experience.

[@dingdingdingdiiiiing]

"How much have each of you got?" "60% between us." "So 30% each?" "Hugh has slightly more." "We need to understand the shareholder structure, so how much have you got, each?" "48%" "And you've got 12%" "Mhm" Took a while. I would say I'm out right there. I can't stand people that misuse words like, slightly. To this guy, "slightly" means a factor of 4. "So how many kids you've got each?" "4 between us." "So 2 each?" "No, Hugh's got slightly more." "I have 3." "So you have 1?" "Mhm"

[@mikkerix3198]

Nah mate: "So how many kids you've got each?" "5 between us." "So 2.5 each?" "No, Hugh's got slightly more." "I have 4." "So you have 1?" "Mhm" Your math was off

[@tylergibson10303]

The headline confuses me

[@blackbirdflyhigh]

Problem is, textbooks change yearly, due to constant changes / $$$$. You don’t learn from someone else learning. Notes are what people write down for THEMSELVES.

[@xxgn]

At the undergraduate level, most professors teach mostly the same thing every year.

[@quark_E]

@@xxgn even less of a reason. Could literally just youtube whatever you need to learn because the material is generally the same. Used to do that all the time for my math classes

[@Skirk84]

Early bird gets the worm, if you come in late you come in at a higher valuation

I think they picked an odd word (Nexus) for their branding. AND, there is already a hair care product in the US called Nexus.

[@Darwin_Finalist]

i looked away and looked back and thought the guy on the right was sitting down

[@worldkat1393]

I mean back in Uni, students all passed down note repos from 10 years back for free. So no idea why anyone would pay.

[@leestimis9264]

Wow. It's absolutely amazing how much students are paying for education and the lengths they are going to.

They were really happy to get on TV to get exposure!!! 😉

[@badaboom8843]

its rude how dare they try to make a larger amount of money, im sure the sharks never did that!!

[@bananaman22]

this is such a fantastic idea. i would have loved to put my notes online and help others and see how popular they would turn out to be. wlel thats nearly 20 years ago now

[@denleg4878]

It is a good idea indeed, the young lads probably already know and if they don't they definitely did Not do their entrepreneur homework because there are already quite a few companies doing the exact same thing in the US and Europe; One of which was on Dragon's Den and got a deal with a few Dragons. Happy trails boys!

[@samsguitarcovers]

They didn’t actually be rude! It’s not their fault their company grew in value lol

[@TypicalToyReviews]

how DARE they insult these investors by offering them a worse deal than the other guy who already offered so much

[@JudgeHill]

Surely the prior investment (and access to the incubator) increased the valuation. Perhaps not to the level they were asking for but my god what a bunch of camera-hingry drama queens these sharks are.

[@udyaminepal]

I can buy the notes and sell if for half the price for 50 students. Coaching.

[@MICHGO1]

How in the world did they not have a response prepared to the valuation question?
