Entrepreneur Wants £1M Investment for 5%! | Dragons’ Den

Dubbed the “most ridiculous valuation ever in the Den” by Peter, Fraser Fearnhead is asking for a £1m cash injection, in return for 5% equity of his property crowdfunding platform HouseCrowd which allows investors to club together to buy properties.

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.

Peter’s daughter when she was a kid: I love you three thousand 🤗

Peter: that’s a ridiculous valuation. 😒

When their pitch includes cardboard cut-outs of cartoon characters, holding bags of money... that’s what you call a “Red Flag.”

In case any of you are wondering why you can't buy a house it's partly because of companies like this

Everyone supporting this guy in the comments ... this company went under. He's a scammer. He owes $50 million to investors they will never see. I'm sure his first business was the same. He "made" money but owed 10000X MORE. Never invest in a guy like this.

I want a episode where the dragons play monopoly. That would be funny to watch.

Which Neanderthal is responsible for the sound editing this episode

Update:
So in 2019 he was alleged to have made an unauthorised loan to himself using company funds to a tune of $390, 000.
In 2021 housecrowd was put into administration owing mum & dad investors 52.7 million pounds.

Checked his current LinkedIn page: and no this isn’t satire, the opening paragraph:

“I offer mindset and high performance coaching to entrepreneurs, C-suite executives and consultants who want to build ethical businesses that serve others with purpose and passion whilst maximizing their profits”

Some may call this narcissistic personality disorder ; a pervasive sense of entitlement, grandiosity complete lack of empathy allowing him to manipulate and con without blushing and taking advantage of unsophisticated investors, leading to harm to the community.

Do yourself a favour and be sure to update his wiki page which conveniently omits much of this.

As of 2021: "All of The House Crowd’s active development loans were in default.[11] The company owed investors £52.7m in capital and interest.[12] All investors in the business and lenders via its P2P platform lost their money."

“Will Sarah WILLINGHAM be any more WILLING to put her reputation on the line?”
8:13 bet the narrator high-fived himself for that one

[FlameFlickers]

He wasn't very clear about how he actually went bust. He had a property company which he sold for 2.25 million. Then he just says, the crash happened and suddenly he was eating baked beans and borrowing money to pay his utility bills. He had sold a company for 2.25 million. Where the hell did the money go???!!

Peter - “How do you come by a £20 million pound valuation right now?”

Fraser - “If we use the analogy of a wave”

Beginning of the end 🌊😂

[campfiresnlasguns]

Whenever I'm struggling with my business studies, I look back at this and I feel better.

[b-dogs]

Peter: ‘How did you get to a 20 million pound Valuation today?’
Fraser: ‘you see it’s like a wave gathering momentum..& advice is, we can’t be valued in a traditional way’
oh dear

[piercedarby]

There are just so many of the newer pitches I wish I could see Duncan’s reaction to

[ROONEY]

The title is wrong and the audio is terrible.

So for that reason, im out.

[dacudo]

0:35 "Thankfully things are going a lot better now." Just look at his expression after he said that. It tells the real story.

[The_Orgazoid]

This ended up going into administration 4 days after this was uploaded to Youtube (24th Feb 2021).

“All of the The House Crowd’s active development loans were in default. The company owed investors £52.7m in capital and interest.”

Ouch!!!

[mylesheneke]

I love that he's consistent though... both he and his animations are clearly high on coke. Check their eyes.

Good thing the music is so loud I almost could hear them talking
