Battle Of The Investors | Dragons' Den

Asi Sharabi and David Cadji Newby are next in the den to pitch their children's book, Lost My Name. A business that's so impressive, that they have already bagged a substantial investment of 250K from a Venture Capitalist. But this creates a problem as it leaves little room for the Dragons to negotiate on equity. How will the Dragons react to this?

Season 12, Episode 2.

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.

i invest 50% of my time watching dragon's den videos and the other 50% reading the comments. the returns are staggering.

Given Peter's behaviour while they were giving their pitch, they should have given him a book about the little boy who visited the Train, then he visited the Wizard, then he spoke to the Ant, then the Tiger.

[ProjectSamari]

man whoever puts these videos up really does Deborah dirty with the thumbnails haha

[kawan]

They renamed their business to "Wonderbly" and the picturebook became the best-seller photo book of UK in 2018. Until now they have expanded to more than 10 countries and have already sold more than 4 million books.

Piers got the deal. He's on the accounts information at companies house. Well done to him, I can see him banking a good profit with this venture!

[DarkReapersGrim]

I'm a grown man with no kids and I want one of these books with my name in it.

[freedrider]

My son Uvuvwevwevwe Onyetenyevwe Ugwemuhwem Osas is going to love the 4 volume series of this book.

[jackolas]

Jenny's book would have included: Inuit, Marmalade, Octopus, Umbrella, Tiger ...

[sappypngn]

I tried to order a book for my niece named Jenny. The website gave an error code and then said they're out.

[Fireglo]

Peter: *sees a guy potentially taller than him, immediately sits up to look more imposing* xD

[abdiqaniismail]

Tej: i dont know if you know this but we're the largest children's vitamins company. So we do alot of marketing there i think i can add value.

[CrazzedKor]

This company is very very successful today, and Piers Linney is named with them so it got accepted or further negotiated a deal

[FILIPOSCAR]

Piers is an extremely clever lad, waiting for all the dragons to declare themselves out before trying to get a piece of the pie. Leave no stone unturned, or as Deborah would say "Yeah, but this isn't fair!" lol. Well played Sir Linney.

[allewis]

I love watching old Dragon's Den episodes where the Dragon's are underwhelmed or pass on a product which turns out to be quite successful in today's market. I personally have bought these books for my two children and think they're absolutely brilliant and worth every penny. To answer your question Peter, yes, in 5 years time 100k for 4% COULD have gotten you a return.

[Snowe]

Peter doesn't like anyone taller than him.

[RDR]

I’m guessing Touker is still in bed?

... and Tej thinks he can definitely help them with distribution, but is still out?

[UserRandomSenders]

Peters reaction to him explaining the letters is priceless 😂

[michaelmwe]

Why does Piers Linney always look like he’s about to go off in a murderous fit of rage?!

[TomorrowWeLive]

I like that Deborah spoke up on their behalf. She's always been my favourite.
