"That Sounds Like A Very Small, Niche Opportunity" | Dragons' Den

Cycling entrepreneur, Wayne Taylor was cycling to work one day when his chain broke, he arrived at the office with oily hands and decided to come up with a solution...
He's seeking a £50,000 investment for a 15% stake. Will the Dragons' tell him to pedal on or will they take the handlebars?
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.

I like Sarah, but her initial offer was almost predatory. Half your business and also work part time (which not even be an option for him) for a pretty small £50,000 investment.

[@k3nn3h]

Especially combined with her 'kind' offer to drop to 30% in exchange for her money back. At which point she'd have taken 30% of his company for free!

[@Deadhammer218]

Sarah: I was EXACTLY in your position. I just went to my boss and said "from now on I'm not working on mondays and fridays" and I put my sunglasses before saying "deal with it". And BOOM I'm a millionaire

Tbh I didn’t even know you could buy a product to fix a dropped chain. It’s very rare when it happens to me but if it does, I just suffer the dirty hands without question! I think it would be a bit more appealing if it incorporated a chain wear/stretch indicator and/or a spoke wrench.

[@bluceree7312]

This is a re upload. I think they removed the last video because of all the comments saying this is a ridiculous product. PS: a tip, you can use anything you can find on the road, like some litter or a tree twig or even a fallen leaf to put the chain back on and not have dirty hands.

[@acenmitch1048]

It falls off all the time especially when you fall off. Makes ur hands dirty, black and smelly

[@delaslight]

It depends on the type of the bike. It happenned to me. And i had to pay 5 euros every time to get it fixed cos i could not do it myself.

[@nickpellatt]

I think it does depend on the bike somewhat. I bought a used racing bike a few years ago that was for a short bike ride to work. That chain would rarely go a day without coming off.

[@londontrada]

Yea, only really with geared bikes. It usually keeps happening when the gears get slightly damaged or bent. Ive had bikes that do it from time to time.

[@Psycho250785]

[@CKD3332]

Sarah has shown herself to be a shark. Her offer was disgraceful. 50% and making him work part time so that it looks like she is doing all the work. The guy is prepared to put all his time into it. That's was totally immoral.

[@TheAazah]

When she repayed she drops to 25% not really that immoral.

[@flipperbigg8943]

Well she has the money so she can make what ever offer she wants and if they don’t like it they can rebuttal it or choose someone else or leave, business is cut throat and there offering more than money because having contacts and distribution is the key to success

Her offer was the best by far, she and Tej had the same offers but deborah is a lot more experiences and has more connections so its logical he would pick hers.

[@toniroberts8117]

I wish Peter would pull a “mark cuban” sometimes and when he offers a better deal than other dragons he insist they take the deal NOW LOL. It annoys the other investors so much but it does make it fun 😂 I love all the dragons, Peter and Deb in particular, but I’d figure a way to work with Theo on this one.

[@TheJohnCooperShow]

He’s done that multiple times

[@sophiemckenzie2368]

Why Deborah? Theo was the obvous choice here, if he'd have negotiated Theo would of likely come down to 30%

[@lewiisreeve]

I didn't understand Deborah either, he should have expressed interest in all their offers and negotiated with Theo but in a way not to make the others feel excluded and if Theo doesn't drop then Peter or Tej - Don't know if those two would team up but he could of got Peter to invest £25k for 12.5%

[@bluceree7312]

I really can't believe there are this many people, and grown adults no less, who can't even put a chain back. I have ridden a bike at least twice a week for the past 10 years (usually 4-5 times a week) and the chain fell maybe 5 times. Yes 5 times in 10 years (more than 10,000 miles distance). That's less than 0.5% of the total rides. So here it is lads. If: 1- you can't put a chain back, or 2- it is not possible to do so because of the way your bike is set up, or, 3- if your chain falls off more than once every 100 rides, then you have a problem, and buying this product is not the solution. I can't blame the man for making money out of this: there is a born every day.

[@darklordojeda]

Do you use the doorknob to enter your house or just crash through the door everyday? Look at you, elitist, smug biker guy.
