Top 3 Times Entrepreneurs Spent A Huge Amount On Their Business | Vol.1 | Dragons' Den

Those dolls look ideal to be stored in an attic and found years later by two curious children.

If you ever pass the warehouse building when Dragons' Den isn't on the air, you will sometimes hear the odd cry or see an appearance from Evan Davis pacing about the premises trying to come up with new puns for the next series. If he sees you, walk away.

BenjaminGoose copy and pasted this, and claimed that he came up with it a year ago 😂😂

[@LitteJeanie]

I think the doll creator has forgotten the magic of childhood. Kids are usually sensitive to facial expression, which makes me think these dolls would not be chosen over other options. There's nothing girly about a pleasant expression or smile. That transcends gender and is something all of us are attracted to.

[@ArfArfBarkBark]

The dolls look like the entrepreneur herself. This is a catharsis for her lol

[@defundhollywood3259]

TOTALLY!! I thought at first it was a company that would create a doll that looks just like you 😂😂

[@Nocturnalux]

I collect Living Dead Dolls, which are dolls meant to be creepy. These ones are not exactly on that same level but the target audience is, of course, different. Living Dead Dolls have a narrative and a story.

[@mr.jamesdavidrobert2115]

[@ignisspiritus6392]

Personally i liked the dolls and the darker tone to them. Also alot of older dolls didnt smile. I think theres a group of people that would like them. Maybe more adults then kids. They remind me of the stern expression from old Victorian photography which i love. If i was a dragon id give her the money. 🙂

[@jessofthewest9476]

I think the point is that market is so niche she probably shouldn’t be spending hundreds of thousands of her friends and family’s money to chase that niche…

The boot buddy is a good example of something not needed. I use a washing up brush and it works fine. Failing that, just put it in the washing machines.

I don't know. Most products are not needed if you consider that way. We were better off living in jungles, cooking our food with wood and fire.

[@infjmale91]

@@Sana-ik8fo I do agree with you. I think since the advent of the internet, most smart consumers can just learn to do things much cheaper, for free. Case and point here.

When Jordan Peele says: "Pensive."

[@jessofthewest9476]

Literally all this guy had to do with the abandoned tube stations was to create incredible EDM music venues for literal underground raves. You could pack that thing wall to wall constantly with even basic DJs let alone popular ones. But I googled this guy and space and holy COW this is a WILD story. Not only did he not own the space at all, he sued the government and Boris Johnson for harassment because they said they would approve it if it didn’t cost taxpayer money, but then somehow backed out of the deal. He spent $500k pounds suing them and said they stole his idea, which was pointed out in this show he DID NOT OWN. Then when he finally did attempt to purchase the property in an auction, with a pile of various investors, it was sold to a Russian Oligarch for $53 million pounds!!! Very bizarre story. The property is now a frozen asset and in the 15? Or so Years since this show aired, the place is still abandoned!!

Non native here. Could somebody please explain what the "indeed" stands for at the end of a presentation before they get into the elevator? 🤔 It sounds really odd to me. I'd say that "thank you very much" would be just fine but I notice plenty people finish with "indeed"... I don't get why though... 😃

Cost on the Boot Buddy should be under $2 from China. What an absurd thing to invest in. The definition of "entrepreneur" is: Create a problem and then make money off your solution. I won't go there, but GWB did exactly this 22 years ago.

It is basic courtesy and may actually help you in the long run. For example, applicants who got turned out for jobs and thanked the would-be employer for the opportunity are much more likely to get called back for other openings.
