'This Is A Unicorn In The making!' - Kyari Bukar | Lions Den Nigeria

I agree!

[@cequonappele]

He definitely shows a lot of grounding and confidence. He will go far!!!

[@anitabaker342]

The lions are literally begging him to take their offers .. He has done his homework very well. Great job with describing his business and how all the parts fit. A 5 year old can understand his pitch and that makes it perfect!

[@Max-mr9mo]

You guys are changing the lives of Nigerians one offer at a time. Amazing ❤️❤️❤️

[@dareafolabi]

One takeaway from this lions den is the fact that a good business person should have sound knowledge of finances. It's the most essential of the knowledge required.

[@ayubaolayiwola8018]

I like the way he threw the challenge they pointed out back to them. He said it's the reason he wants them to come on board and solve it. He made them feel he's been doing well without them and will continue to. This also confirmed the saying that the way to a man's heart is his stomach, even woman 😂.

[@ibidokunanuoluwapo3797]

[@heleng9940]

Watching from Australia, I love the Nigerian version of this show.

[@martinchishimba468]

One thing that set this business apart is the fact that it was functionally operating (working properly in its smallness) before they went to seek investors. Some businesses who bid here come with struggling businesses or simply an idea on paper. One must learn to handle their own little monies before they can be entrusted with other people’s money. Job well done to Jubal’s Glazed smoked chicken 💪🏽👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

There has always been Lion’s Den in Nigeria. They just started again in Nigeria

[@oluwatosinbabalola653]

I like it's becoming consistent now. Dragon's den is the UK version I think

[@kolapodaniel]

I most likely would have gone with Lion Dan's offer, if I were Tunde factoring a lesser % stake in my business. However I think Tunde made a good deal as stated in his acceptance speech, in the midst of three is counsel, especially for the expertise those Lions will be bringing on board and more money. In conclusion both deals are actually good. Great job! I love this show.

[@smarthustlersclub6375]

remember it is a stake and not equity, but again, 33% is not so much. and with the ability for the business to spread across the country, you can imagine, how far it will go

[@andrewapgar3273]

Sharks, you have heard of limousines, but what about stretch sandals…

[@realotobi]

While I love this show, as a business person, I think the 3 of them eventually valued his business at 36million Naira, which is small in my opinion for a business that has generated up to 50million Naira in revenues and has its own brand identity and built its own market in-roads. The entrepreneur definitely doesn't fully understand valuations yet. 3 Giants holding 11% equity each in your business at this early stage is dicey. He has to reduce his ownership for them to get in and like Dan Ngerem pointed out, too many cooks spoil the broth, I wouldn't take in 3 big board members at once, it's too many ideas and too many opinions around a small table.

[@adelekedigital]

Exactly my point. 12% is way too much for such valuation

[@solartalkers]

15million in annual revenue and 30% gross profit not net profit o!. 36 million valuation is them being nice to him.

[@tech-preneurshipwithjeff5745]

i would love if he countered their offer, but he was too shy to even speak out. he could have gotten them to back down on a 15% stake offer or even 20% as max he can offer. he is completely out out business already with less than 10% stake at this point. not a smart move. You are right on him not understanding the worth of the company he started.

[@realotobi]

@@tech-preneurshipwithjeff5745 He really should have negotiated.

[@Naijaversal]

I will work in the years and grow myself. I Cant give you 25% for 12mil. Never!! If it can scale in Shoprite, then I will rather go for loans and retain ownership than this deal. I will rather seek deals for distribution partnerships and branding and adverts.

[@the_mercy_okoduwa]

Both offers weren't really conflicting, and the female Lion did a good job with putting their N12m offer in his face. It was funny how they quickly stated the figure they would invest after hearing that counter offer from the fourth 🦁

[@marketklippers5223]

Personally I feel for this business. He doesn't need the dragons

[@okanlawonmuyiwa4254]

He doesn't really. They will pillage such a promising business. On the other hand, if they are willing to be in for the long run, good proposition.

[@nzeribelove3302]

He does. Because it really isn't about the physical cash but the exposure, network and other value add that they bring. The 12million is just the icing on the cake.

[@oluwatosinbabalola653]

Maybe for networking not really for finance because he could get same fund elsewhere in a more flexible means with right approach though. It's mainly for the expertise and network. Investors plenty in Nigeria but lack of integrity and also lack of delayed gratification from main founders..

[@jydooooo]

Anytime any day, I have never for once misunderstood Bolaji when he speaks and drops an offer, simple and a great business coach, looking forward to an hr sitdown with him someday...it sure would happen. Three Lions breathing down your neck sure would make one think outside the box... which makes the hustle juicier.

[@RealEstateWithEphraim]

He sold himself short. If he's making 40M in revenue in one year that means he's invested 100M +. It made sense that he's requesting 7.5M for a 12% stake which is a super deal. The lion breeded on his super deal by requesting more. 12M for a 33% stake to me is insane but I wouldn't take it. For 2 reasons this guy obviously doesn't understand what he has on his deck and he doesn't know that if he's a bit patient he'll scale up faster. Concerning the carbon emission it's a valid note but regardless. I wouldn't take the offer if it were me. Gosh it's a 5 years business why can't he be patient?

[@chiomannalue4586]

I was shocked he only asked for 7.5m
