Dragons Dumbfounded by Entrepreneur’s $2M Facebook Stock Payout | Dragons’ Den

Next into the Den is Louis with his clothing brand, ‘OHMME’. Louis first dipped his toes into the world of business at 11 years old but now he's pitching for an investment of £80,000 investment in return for a 6% cut in the business, but has he used his Facebook shares wisely?

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.

Jenny: "You are drowning and need a lifeline, and for that reason: I'm out."

[tdhd]

Jenny has an infinite arsenal of excuses for being out.

[Pwecko]

He didn't need the money. He needed guidance. And he got it. Well done.

[luketonkinson]

Jenny’s excuse was literally “I’m too busy”. Why be on the show?

[theovolz]

Gotta be honest: the moment I saw him do that handstand in the lift, I just wrote him off as a total douchebag.

[vonteflon]

13:55 Jenny with the massive eye-roll: “FFS here we go again, Peter investing in a business, what does he think this is, Dragon’s Bloody Den?” 🙄

[AwkwardFistbump]

Jenny: I'm out
Evan: Now let's meet our first entrepreneur.

[jamsdem]

Jenny: You’re the same age as my children so for that reason I’m out

[silviasangiorgio]

Peter Jones always sounds jealous when asking others how they made their money🤣

[criss]

Best Jenny line so far "You did the best thing to come on Dragons Den - I'm out!"

[YoloMoloPolo]

imagine dude fell over as the elevator doors opened 😂

[anthonymcrooster]

Jenny: "I like you, I think I can help you, I have all the business wisdom that you desperately need right now to save this business from going under....and for that reason I'm out."

[zacharias]

I wish somebody called out Jenny when she essentially said he got lucky with his Facebook investment. You constantly hear about savvy investors who got in early on tech unicorns like Facebook or Uber and cashed out big time. But when this guy says he made $2 million on Facebook, Jenny says "wow, that was some punt", basically saying he took a shot in the dark rather than congratulating him on a successful investment.

She made all her money by running a company into the ground, buying it cheap when her failures combined with the 2007 recession drove the price down, and then profited off the bounceback as the global economy recovered. In other words, she took advantage of a company that was losing money and needed to sell (largely because of her), and stayed on the ride until the recession began to fade. She is lucky to have a wealthy family that supported her in purchasing that business. This dude isn't lucky... he's smart.

[maldegaar]

I think Deborah summed it up so perfectly. He's got so much money it doesn't force him to be thrifty and resourceful.

[olliemillward]

Didn’t like the way Jenny gave him a glimmer of hope... she’s not a nice person

[Alex-eedq]

For a second I was so sure Jenny was going to make an offer! How she managed to pull a 180 is beyond me.

[rohilthomson]

From his almost stereotypical "influencer/health guru" looks I had an idea of what he'd be like. When he performed the handstand in the lift, I knew I was right.

[blackcat]

Loui: does a handstand

Jenny: I’m out

[darrenredden]

This is why they keep Peter..he has the balls and courage to spot potential and guide a young entrepreneur

[amitsidhar]

50 seconds in, the guy has just done a handstand.

My mind in Duncan Bannatynes voice “ What a preck!”
