Good for them, these people are vultures.

As someone with a very young child this thing is awesome, especially in the age of delaying the inevitable screen time, having smart functionality at the palm of your hand with your phone, while being able to hand something to a toddler that is entirely screenless is so valuable, and this is a space where parents are willing to spend. They dodged a cannonball letting go so much for so little, 100k is pittance for 10%, so again, good for them, I wish them all the best.

[johnhewett]

They were very lucky to get the chance at 10%. I thought 20% would be a more likely offer.
They really blew their chance

[chipbuttytime]

I could see these 2 were a couple of vvankaz just by the introduction prior to the pitch

[mariuscheek]

I'm amazed they didn't have a decent sport juggler on - the possibilities for that are endless! An old-schooler like Mike Moschen could have done loads with this!

[weddiedon]

I think it could be a really good teaching tool. Helping childrens coordination with audio feedback of where they are on the beat when catching the ball or bouncing it

[kevindevilliers]

Absolutely crazy not to accept Deborah.

Meanwhile Jenny Campbell is at home screaming at the telly how this is exactly the thing she has been looking for for her portfolio. 🤣

[adamsapple]

They weren't there for an investment

[wagstaffe]

They didn't want an offer...they wanted the all.

[JuliuszCovers]

It's at best an electronic drum that you can control with much less precision and much more difficulty. Or really, an electronic squeaky dog ball. I have no idea why they got any offers at all. That's like the definition of a product that would be fun to play with, and then you get bored in five minutes tops.

[Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay]

No. Adding random ball mechanics to note playback is not helpful for the creation of music. It is adding to the rhythmic difficulty for no real advantage and considerably less precision.

[TheNinja]

So what if this product is short lived, so we’re fidget spinners and the inventor is now minted.

[shaunbarnett]

Just searched and can't even find where to buy one, no website or anything. Yeah they fkd up. Every proposal where a deal is struck you always see a great website, clearly successful product etc. This will go nowhere.

[shadowandlight]

I have one. It is a decent midi controller beyond the app. Better than a lot of small gimmicky midi controllers.

I spilt spot remover on my dog, now he’s gone.

[chasave]

If you watch this, don't buy them. I bought three a month ago, to start on their web they say it takes between 5 to 7 days to arrive, it arrived after 15 days. And what's worse two of them no longer work (I only played them once!!!), I feel robbed

[RamiGB]

What a lot of people don't get in the comments is the fact they refused Deborah's deal not really for the 3 percent but rather because they wanted different investors. If it was Peter who offered them they 10 percent I guess they would've accepted that.

[royfr]

iF THIS TAKES OFF i WILL EAT MY SHOES.

[TONY_FEZ]

They didnt want Deborah on board, simple as that. I think refusing her offer was the polite way of showing that. Had Peter made the same offer they'd be all over it. It was not about the percentage.
