"Why didn't they invest?"
"We were open and honest with them."
Oooookay.

[renning]

I wonder how much he was screaming in his head "They are old, why do they know this much about servers?!"

[gwheregwhizz]

PC Pro used to give an award to anyone that took out a full page advert.

[techwiz]

The most shocking part of this pitch is this guy’s only 26

[yannickjung]

5:35 Duncan trolling the guy hahahaha😂😂

[SimonHollingshead]

To flash forward - Peter Hopton stopped being a Director of Very PC in 2021, though Andrew Hopton continues to be one. In the year 2023, Very PC's accounts show total assets of £1.3m. However, now, they focus on custom IT solutions for education and business, including managed IT support.

In other words, they did a big brand pivot away from energy efficiency and still have a valuation not even half of what they wanted the Dragons to invest in back in 2008.

I could fix this for him, we install a flow signal, it’s green in colour, it’s telling people to come buy the PC

[GuessTheSongMS]

Some pitches the dragons are open and cheerful. Others, like this one, they act like someone has just farted in their faces before the cameras roll

[Getstitchs]

He looks like the hypnotist from Little Britain

[amodelchucrut]

Thanks for the re-upload!! Classic episode! My top 3 of favorite den fails is Very PC, Mathison "We bought the aircraft" Airways, and of course Flow Signals Limited.

[FlynnWolf]

WOW. That was fast. That's why Duncan is my favorite Dragon.

[arthurmorgan]

*rings computer doctor

"My computer won't work"

"Take it to a repair shop m8"

[Tiger-zogn]

He is asking for more money than the company is worth. I think he would take the investment and disappear.

[YokoFuongAnh]

They are still in business so they must doing something right.

[StarvingPixels]

They grilled him but he has founded two successful business and is doing well.

[vonder]

Why the dragons were so rude? There is no need for this. I think the guy took it like a champ.

[benbastianiartmusic]

I was HOWLING with laughter when this was first broadcast.

[nerdyPanda]

Technology in terms of potential, are worth millions, the problem that he has is, he’s not a technology company, he’s a brand company.

Dragons at last using their 🧠 brains, they added a 🎁box next to their 🪑 chairs, so entrepreneurs creations are there already 😅
