Entrepreneurs should always say that their favoured Dragon is the one which can serve the product best, and not disclose which Dragon they prefer. Let the Dragons bicker and barter between themselves. Negotiate if the Dragons are keen on your product and let them undercut each other or possibly team up. Rich and successful people like the Dragons are very smart, but bear in mind that their success is inextricably bound with their egos, which can be fragile. You are there for their connections and expertise, so stay eloquent, respectful, and most importantly, impartial.

That’s because they are very rarely genuine letters of intent, they are almost always simple proposals. Genuine LoIs include minimums & indicative penalty & liability clauses. That’s what the Dragons are looking for, an idea of what the eventual contractual terms are likely to be. I suspect that many of the LoIs in the Den were solicited by the Entrepreneurs for their pitch, and thus the buyers could only offer letters of interest.

Touqar is just greedy. Specially the way he put down the brand or value by saying it’s mediocre.

Valuation. Isn't that a subjective number? What difference would it make what someone "thinks" their company is worth, in the near future? If I had a genuine, money-making business, that was appealing to a investor... why would they choose not to invest, based solely upon what I thought it might be worth?
@7Cedira Жыл бұрын
I think the dragons want valuations based on actual evidence or proof, and not based solely on projections. If you are way off on your valuation, that might be a sign that you don't actually have any idea about your business or industry.

Howdah snacks positioned itself in a wrong way. If you are targeting Indian diaspora, it's not conventional supermarkets but the Indian stores. The Indian stores have a lot of choices of both known Indian brands and bespoke offerings. These snacks should be placed in the chips and snacks aisle in supermarkets and a major target market for such snacks are in the pub and bar market. Unfortunately Shaloo did not do enough research before getting into the den. It's good she is doing well right now but once she reaches a certain volume, Haldirams, Bikaji and MTR will swoop in. In the middle East, these brands have forced supermarkets to create an aisle for these products

Considering the rapid growth, Ellen's valuation was not so far off. Seems to me the dragons were trying to scam her.

Not really. They always have to get the best percentage. Don't forget the dragons r the ones giving the money. If it fails it's them that's out of pocket.
