Edward Hancock and Richard Simpson are pitching their cheese business. They're looking to receive an investment of £150,000 for 3% of Cheese Geek, an online digital database of cheese and wine offered as a personalised subscription box.

Cheese Geek is the first pitch Steven Bartlett has ever been a part of, so let's see how it goes...

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.

Think Steven is a very good fit with the dragons. He's also clear, concise, and articulate when he speaks. Good to see a bright young mind on the team. 👍

[CAZZIEK]

I think this has to be my favourite blend of dragons. The right amount of wit, cheek, support and chance.

Debora: it’s unethical, I’m out

*gets on private jet, flies 5, 000 miles to LA and sips her soy latte

[essie-mac]

2k profit “that’s not profit that’s a night out!”
Ahh if only!!

[bezy]

steven's offer made me think about all the unessasery equity given away all those times

[timtam]

They don’t have Dairy Lee triangles or cheesy wotsits. Took my business elsewhere .

[Danii]

“That’s not profit… that’s a night out” yeah I don’t think everyone spend 2k on a night out Peter Jones

[mikeyyouemo]

Wow, Steven officially made one more investment than Jenny! Congrats bro

[drumcdoo]

How refreshing it is to see a new dragonto bring fresh blood into the programme. Very likeable and shrewd with a modern outlook and admirable character who knows what it's like to be on the bottom rung of the ladder, having been homeless so has retained his empathy making him an ideal candidate for new entrepreneurs to trust and admire..

[TonyHavenMusic]

“I don’t take risks”
“What about this risk?”
“Ohh, I didn’t think about that risk”
“Not thinking about any of the risks is the biggest risk of business” 😂

[jessebella]

I would have laughed at Peter Jones comment that 2k is not profit, it is a night out but actually, have you seen the prices lately, everything is so high. I dont think 2k would do it

[GodotOfficial]

£2k EBITDA is nowhere near gouda enough, they need to do feta than that

[clementinechristenson]

watching Steven on DOAC he already has lots of wine contacts and wine and cheese are like peaches and cream I reckon this will def take off and really respect him for cutting in to say he won't bleed them dry to him its not about JUST money he wants to see them succeed.. the others are just sharks...well done guys... you made the right choice!

[Zak]

Peter went from being the softest dragon to being the angriest

[Starlight-iwgx]

Wow, what an entrance! Steven Bartlett made a real statement there... - powerful!

[adamlacey]

It doesn't show in the edit of the show, but during this pitch everyone in the Den were interrupted by a sudden loud crash which came from the ground floor of the warehouse. Filming stopped and all of a sudden the lift doors opened to reveal Evan Davis stood covered in jam and giggling hysterically. "Sorry Dragons", he laughed, "couldn't help myself again, it gets so boring down there when you're all up here talking for ages". Touker picked up his spoon and sighed. "Okay Evan", he said. "I'll indulge in your game this time but this really needs to stop".

[Liciablyth]

nail biting and fascinating. I learn so much from this programme. thank you!

[nordenp]

Do you reckon Steven had to challenge Tej to a duel over that chair? Quite a peaceful takeover

[warriorlifexxx]

Peter Jones

Hung over
Stressed
Looks drawn

And who’s the will smith stunt double
