  • 25-year-old Evie Waxman and her raw vegan treats are in the Den looking to secure a 50k investment in return for 10% of her business Raw Bake Station. She was hoping to tempt the Dragons with her range of raw sweet treats, free from gluten, dairy, wheat and refined sugar.
    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.

      That remark alone showed that she was in over her head. Faking it to get an appointment with a buyer is a good trick. Faking it when you need to quickly scale up production to meet a large order on time and to specification... that's how you destroy your business - and more immediately, your credibility.

    People are being a bit harsh on her I think.

She wasn't overly cocky, and the comment from Sara should keep her grounded.

  • @alyssarodriguez4405
    @alyssarodriguez4405 2 ปีที่แล้ว +293

    I think this could work. She should market it towards people with appetite/gaining weight issues. Usually meal replacement foods aren’t vegan, hers are, which could become popular among the vegans. I remember it was hard for me to eat at one point and I would drink meal replacement shakes and would hate it.
    Another issue is her appearance with some, yes, which shouldn’t really matter, but humans will be humans. Her attitude isn’t the best either, something exudes falseness about her (may be nerves), which people can usually sense. An investor wants to know all the details of the business and about that person, it’s their money they’re putting on the line.
    HOWEVER, I don’t see myself up there so I’m not going to assume it’s easy or judge. Good luck to you girl, I think you honestly have a shot. Read some of these comments from others so you can learn from them. Don’t brush them off, but instead remember these are most likely going to be your customers and they’re giving you feedback. If a lot of comments are saying the same thing there may be some truth to it.

      The idea is not bad. The child running this is not aware of her shortcomings. Her overconfidence with social media is a shining example of how clueless she is. Two statements made by dragons expose her overconfidence. (a) Peter said 'fake it till you make it' - yes she had absolutely no marketing strategy or experience and (b) Touker pointed out she has no working capital to buy inventory or for marketing. Hence her modest goal of 300k revenue is ridiculous. An idea is just an idea. But it still needs execution. She has to learn how to plan and operate a business. Until then she is just another girl with an ambition.

    I don't think she'd have noticed if there was no product behind her. Whilst it's important to have a great person behind a great brand it's not necessary... having a great product behind a great brand is though. The amount of issues with the product and she still backs it because she believes she's far more important than it, even with supermarkets rejecting it and sales not growing. Needs a reality check i'm afraid, she's heard how amazing she is way too many times and has lost focus on what's important. Nothing wrong with confidence, not much wrong with a bit of cockiness, quite a lot wrong with arrogance though so Sara's comment was the best one from the dragons. Hope she takes it on board.

    I thought she was going to a deal. I was surprised she didn’t, but I think it’s just an overcrowded industry.

    We’re the same age. Totally different worlds. I know she will be successful, eventually.

    Her personality 🤨 She thought her looks and charm were the investment.

    How can you have caramel in a raw bar? Sugar has to be heated over 100C to make caramel.

      Because she’s a liar and narcissist

      Blended dates are a similar taste and texture

      It's like with every 'Nakd' bar. They mash up some dates and some 'flavouring' and call it Pecan Pie or Bakewell tart. Pretty cheeky.

    There's a lot of competition especially in this food industry.

    Social media is full of people like this.
    “Fake it ‘too you make it” just sums up all that’s wrong.

    She seems more interested in herself and becoming an influencer than the product. Bad sign!

      That’s how it is these days, we should support women who don’t want to earn a living on only fans.

    She literally said at the start that she lied and blagged her way to try and get franchises on board so if im an investor, would I even believe anything she says to me ? I’d pass too tbh.

      Because she was clearly very honest to them about why supermarkets turned her down, she was transparent in things that mattered. And touker found her story charming.

    I don’t actually see an issue with her outfit if that’s what makes her confident. The outfit wasn’t the issue, it was her business plan

    It annoys me when manufacturers and dragons think that high calories are bad for everyone. I have an overactive thyroid and have to eat loads of calories so I don’t lost weight. I wish they’d stop pandering to obesity rather than addressing the problem which is self discipline at the end of the day.
