Successful Entrepreneur REJECTS Offers Totalling £250,000 Offer | Dragons’ Den

Richard Williamson is pitching his video production service that turns home videos into biopics, but he wants a whopping £250,000 in return for a 25% equity.
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.

[@toniroberts8117]

Once again, it’s frustrating that this episode doesn’t feature its original air date. That makes all the difference in knowing if it’s a viable business. However, like this entrepreneur said, this technology and service has not only existed for a VERY long time, but for over a decade now, I know this type of service is free at many places. I can’t believe 2 dragons we’re willing to invest so much money in this. Sounds like Peter was by far the wisest dragon on this one and fortunately for Deb and Richard this guy turned down the offer. This guy probably is good at what he does, but this service (at least in America) has been available for free from Walmart for probably 15 years. I do remember back in 2003 buying a photo/video program for my computer for a couple hundred bucks and was able to do everything he’s talking about. That was back when hardly anyone had digital cameras and smart phones didn’t exist. Maybe technology is slower in Europe.

There still aren't any tools that automatically create good videos. There's a huge difference between something that's professionally edited and something that's edited by somebody who has used the tools a few times. The haircutting comparison was very apt. Scissors are available to everybody, but I would prefer a professional to cut my hair. And if I want to create a video that my children and grandchildren will want to watch then having a professional would be even more important to me.
