This Challenged One Of Touker Suleyman's Iconic Phrases | SEASON 18 | Dragons' Den

[@GodotOfficial]

Entrepreneur: I’m offering 1% of my company Touker: 😴 🛌

[@mrx702]

They didn't really savage her about the 1% or question her about the other investors. She is crazy not to take a deal for 10%

[@the-blue-barron2791]

She probably wasn't in the position to give away 10%.

[@connorcain3852]

They probably did but just didn’t put it in the edit

[@NickJay]

100%!

[@turtlejones9279]

she is crazy, you are correct

[@zwei670]

her evaluation was 7M. the dragons went and gave it a 700K evaluation instead. the current investors would complain for sure if she accepted that

[@jaoued]

Well, in no way she wanted an investment. she came in just for the TV and KZbin advertising. And let's be honest, it's worth way more than £72K... So well done to her for succeeding, but she could have tried to be more natural in her posture rather than trying to look like a "superwoman".

[@miriamkivlehan3498]

It's an AI app. It goes beyond any single field of science and mines all of them for a customised response.

[@PodcastWithPari]

When Peter made his offer and changed the whole angle of how he thinks the business should be run - you could see all the other dragons thinking to themselves "Damn, why did't I think of that, I shouldn't have gone out!" Peter was very clever to wait till the end to say that. Tej then made an offer directly after.

[@ImTheScottMann]

While she was correct in saying it's unfair to the other investors that bought it at a similar amount. The difference is they aren't literal tech giants and health specialists, that can open doors to unique partnerships and opportunities to make so much more money

[@MrMongoose221]

Yeah exactly most of them just put their money in and do nothing. A Dragon offers so much more in terms of network and support.

[@leea9066]

If I was invested in a company I wouldn't care if a dragon or someone like that got a better deal then me. They open so many doors and create so much more money which I get a % of. how can you complain

[@danjwalker]

I like how she's always doing Wonder Woman poses for the elevator camera.

[@hiimjustin8826]

Power poses lol total red flag

[@BarbaraT.]

On returning to the elevator without an investment she almost looked natural and relatable for a second. Then she remembered about the camera and went back to that silly and useless pose 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@b-dogs1038]

‘because you are seeing changes, you are inclined to pay’ -for the app. I’m telling you😂, She almost pulled one over the Dragons with her front & confidence.

[@JustMe-fo4ev]

This is my favorite overall grroup of Dragons

[@soroushm9820]

she should have given away 7 percent and asked them to drop to 3 percent after receiving their moneys. 1.3% was a joke because they are not normal investors; having them on board literally increases the value of the company!

[@bluceree7312]

1.03%

[@catman2484]

Really?? Why has Deborah Meaden's net worth not increased at all in nearly 20 years??! It's a myth that these people automatically add value... They know their sectors well but try and branch into the unknown. Mark Cuban from Shark Tank (America's equivalent) said recently that he is down overall from his investments on the show over 13 series. Yes they have had their occasional hits, which is great, but nothing is guaranteed here

[@markzuckermyberg5912]

A bit of a Elon Musk move here i feel. Promoting advertising hyping a idea and product with no intention of doing a deal. I would have loved Duncan to be in one of the seats for this one.

[@MrMongoose221]

Any pitch where they offer 1% and can only move to 1.3% doesn't seriously want the investment. You'd know coming on that the Dragons negotiate. Clearly just for advertising and guess why not lol

That’s not how things work in the real world. This is just a tv show and in real investing it is very unlikely you will give other investors a better deal especially to the extent that the dragons offered.

[@AbhishekSanyalTGV]

Bruh, not 1.3%. She said 1.03%😂

It is genius to us. But actually, it's a very common business model in the tech world. There are some very good but common ways to monetize data. For something 'genius', watch Gener8's pitch. Now that is a clever business model which even Peter acknowledged.

1% is nuts. So she is planning to become a billionaire while the dragon will have to make a living dumpster diving after bankrolling the operation. If she had asked for 500k and offered 25% it would have made some sense. At 1% the dragon might not even get a seat at the board.

Ridiculous counter offer and valuation in my opinion. I would also question if she understands her own product.

[@green_firefly]

when Helene Guillaume Pabis already raised 1.3 million pounds at 7.2 million pound valuation, Dragons cant ask for a higher % share for 72K, it will not be fare to founder investors. 10% offer may seem low but its 10 times more than she was asking, had she offered 10% and someone asked her 10 times that, would be 100% of her company.

[@reids100]

"10% offer may seem low but its 10 times more than she was asking, had she offered 10% and someone asked her 10 times that, would be 100% of her company." But she didn't offer 10% so none of that is relevant.
