- Gary McDonagh, Larry Gould, and Ben Greenak pitch Double, a dating app for double dates. They're seeking an investment of £75,000 in return for a 10% equity stake in Double but which Dragon has more to offer?
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.

They shouldve called the app 'Taking One for the Team' because there's going to be alot of that going on
alot
Don't know if it's the three rums I had, but ....................Hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree with Sarah. Double dates are for couples who are friends, not first dates. Of course there's going to be one guy or one girl that's more attractive to both members of the opposite sex. Recipe for disaster.
I found it interesting that Sarah went straight to that one specific problem. My concern would be more generally, what's the likelihood of finding two people who click with two other people? Like, it's already hard enough to find someone you hit it off with, what are the odds that two friends happen to both hit it off with two other friends? Seems miniscule to me. Two people fancying the same person is definitely part of that though.
@@s--h1584 Sarah might have had that thought cherning around the whole week, and it was a sublime freudian slip?
@@basstrammel1322 True. Maybe Sarah had a bad love triangle once and never forgot it xD
@@s--h1584
Tbh these pitches are like an hour long, could have thought of multiple different things.
@@gibran6190 What , how do you know this ?
Lmao After trying for 10 years Touker finally changes presentation tactics concerning his offices and now calls them "Free accomodation"
This was toukers first season
@@Asif-kh-n9r It's a joke
My guy Touker is still trying to do deals with his office space 😂😂
He’s been tryna sell those to everyone 😂 I might have to shout him
@@cristifarbrown8429 honestly 😂
@@cristifarbrown8429 u do that. Whatever that is.
Accommodation...lolololol
He should just open it for tourists and den fans at this point >>
Love Nick. A man who thinks for himself and doesn’t get sucked into “she’s my friend and he’s my friend” like Peter.
Yeah, he's my favourite dragon because he's never patronising or trying to look for an entrepreneurs words to use against them as a way of taking offence like Peter or Deborah do.
@@ashleelmb Yep, he seems like a solid dude.
He’s my favorite of all the dragons who’ve been on the show. He always treats the people pitching with respect.
yup, the best dragon along with James Caan, Simon Woodfruffe, Richard Farleigh, Sarah Willingham and Tej Lalvani.
wiseeyes when you have the dosh that pj has then you can criticice ..... that would be wise.
Did you see what i did there
Hmm this seems like a tricky situation - what if you both like the same girl or what if the girls just like one of the guys? Who decides who’s dating who in the first place or is it just a collective? So many questions, so many awkward answers.
Also, what happens if one couple hits it off and the other doesn't? Do they have to keep dating in a group or do they split off after that? And I guess if one person finds a relationship then their friend is left alone to look for another partner to keep dating?
Many, many questions...
It would've always been one date and two tag-alongs!
I thought it was supposed to be one couple looking for another couple to date with
Those are some of THE tackiest suits I've ever seen in my entire life.
Tinder snatched the idea so this went nowhere
And it failed on tinder 😭😂
They should have called it Twinder.
nice
@@copetrope8080 Thanks, lol.
we did actually consider this lol
@@garymacdonough1 Did ya? I was just joking, lol.
@@sexyhomeowner9345 hah it was suggested yes!
That was an easy way to blow £75k on a really dumb idea that anyone can copy, for a measly 15%.
The only thing I can think of that's more awkward that having to ask my mate's permission to chat with a girl is the "nice demo bro" fistbumps in between presentations.
Four years later and this is the first time I've heard of it.
Same. I wonder what happened to them. They sounded very confident before their pitch.
Same.
@@TheManInBlueFlames One of the guys went to my university and studied the same course. I only know this because my lecturer highlighted in one of his lectures that one of his ex-students appeared on Dragons Den. He said the investment from Nick went through but they didnt make any money and eventually went bust.
@@Highran56 sounds about right. Their projections didn't sound very lucrative at all. I'm surprised Nick went as low as 15%.
@@Highran56 Wow. Why did they act so cocky prior to going in the den? They acted as if their business was worth millions and had already turned over millions but when questioned they did have significant losses over several years...so why were the Dragons even interested?
When one date has a second date, their friend has to find another friend to double date or go back to single dates. Flawed idea, so for that reason I'm joining triple dates.
This won't work for me because I have no friends to take with me on a date. For that reason I'm out. 😔
Me too. We could have teamed up if they hadn't folded. Out!
For a minute i thought it was Jenny....
Yea this is all counting on the fact that you have friends that are single and able to date. And who picks the other 2 people? You or your friend?
Tinder piloted this years ago as group dating. It obviously didnt work as they stopped it pretty early on.
This was before Tinder did it..
These aren't new
2:30 Deb's reaction is priceless 😂 "I'm sorry, you what now? Care to rephrase that?"
Good Job. Nick is a very down to earth guy, One of the few dragons who doesn't misbehave with the contestants.
I like Sarah. She always gives a perspective that we miss. She can see different scenarios that are highly possible.
You call it a different perspective, I call it creative solutions to declare herself out. Just another Jenny Campbell
Her and Jenny are a waste of time
She always thinks the most ridiculous stuff Sarah.
I thought we’d heard the last of touker offering his premises 😂😂😂😂❤️👍
How are you supposed to get to know your date with 2 other random people sitting next to you? It seems like a chemistry killer to me
I don't know about the UK, but here in the US, I don't feel like double dates are all that common. They happen when it's either a) couples that already know each other or b) a couple trying to set up their single friends. 2 people hooking up with 2 other random people via an app? I don't see it as broad a consumer base as they think.
It's like a tandem bicycle rental service. I'm sure there's someone out there, but not that many.
Pay to contact someone? Massive red flag there, with free chat apps like tinder/bumble etc with far more users, no one uses pay to contact apps anymore, driving more people to tinder. There would end up being a handful of users in a vast radius, and paying to contact them is a death blow for any dating app in the last 10 years
You can't patent a double date. These people know that. I can't count how many times 'no protection' was a deal breaker. Half a dozen companies could have this built into their dating whatever in 48 hours if theres even a hint of profitability.
-some googling later:
Yeah, at least 4 companies, including Tinder immediately added this feature to their own product.
The founder replied in this thread and what you described pretty much happened
You also got meet me that has at least 3 to 4 sister apps.
@@thesilenthero422 Where's the reply?
I really like Nick . He is clever and funny . Also thought James Khan was always very friendly and polite as well as savvy.
And no sign of it with a Google search. Guess that 3 year plan didn’t quite work out as hoped. 😂
www.globaldatinginsights.com/news/m14-industries-acquires-dating-startup-double/ thats the other dating company that got investment in the den I think
One of the founders Gary commented after your comment saying what happened to the company, should be near top comments.
It was acquired Sean 👍
@@MrGlostuber Where's the comment?
Peter Jones: ‘I’m out...’
Narrator: ‘Peter Jones is out...’
10:20 The face we all make when Tucker suggests using his office space... xDD
Imagine if you went of a double date and you end up liking your friends date 😂. It's a good idea i guess if your not confident on your own and like Nick said it's a less pressuring experience
"We'll be pleased to answer any questions you have"
YOU HAVE NO CHOICE 🥰
They'd have had more success calling it "Dogging"
I would never go on a date with a friend, unless it was a couples night out.. First date needs to be 1 on 1..
Lunchtime perfection thank you Dragons Den video people
Deborahs face when she got pied off by Nick ahaha. priceless
Peter “It’s amazing what money does” Jones
@Andy Charrington Peter "STFU" Jones
At least he's honest about it,
This is what his partner will say if or whenever she decides to part company with him. Lets hope he has a sound prenuptial agreement in place!.
I like how Touker was ready to bring the gravity. Big up yourself Touker, you’re a boss x2
What happens if you want your bros date instead of yours?
JSSTyger mortal kombat...!
'Great demo Ben' 'Thank you'
I am dying
I just wanna know why he was called Moonpig
I really don't understand how meeting three different people for the first time simultaneously decreases the awkwardness rather than quadruples it. This only, only works if both sides are good friends with each other already beforehand.
Nicks face when Touker mentions office space 😂😂😂 had me belly laughing haha
10:18 Touker trying to slyly pitch his Office Spaces unnoticed haha
How do you decide which individual you're going to be dating? What if the person you wanted to date, dates your friend instead?
Exactly! If they're trying to get shy people to go on dates, that experience would send them into spinsterhood.
Touker: There could be a benefit of some free accommodation.
Another words: *Free office space in London*
Touker, don't try and make out it's something different to what you usually offer everyone else in the den. 😂
>Nick's face
Office space, tech support, overseas contacts, hookers, blow, a season pass at Sheffield Wednesday and a life time backstage pass at Status Quo gigs. Its all yours, if the price is right!
@@blacksunshine7485 can't think of anything better😂
Seems like not much came of it lol. Can't even see it on the app store.
2:07 Peter's response to the fist bump got me
Sarah was spot on, there is a reason why now, at least 8 years later there is still no popular double dating app, it doesn't work
Awkwardness in alternative dating is just in your mind 😯
When Touker said accommodation, it sounded like he was offering the boys a bed for the night
He was! He certainly was! Touker stocks all his London offices with high-end, bespoke four-man bathtubs! He'd bathe with the boys then they'd share a high-end, bespoke four-man sleeping bag!
I am sorry to ask this but did Peter just call his wife a gold-digger??
It's called a joke.
@@rwri3669 I know it wasn't meant in a serious way but still it was a bit weird!
Why else would she be with him? lol
At the end of the day when your as rich as him you’ll never really know
No he just said he had never struggled to get dates.
Nick’s face after Touker offered his London office space 😂

did you splash out and get finest or stick with the meal deal?
Are you guys in the UK still allowed to go to the office, or you working from home?

@@ifwecouldvote WFH since March!

Because office space can only get you so far.

You never know when you'll need to take it off.
My names Boris Johnson, you're in a Tier 3 zone and for that reason, I'm out, you however are not!
I'm only here to drool over Sarah as usual.
2:20 “there isn’t an app that offers group dating solutions”
You can easily do that on Grindr
LMAO
This was 5 years ago before Tinder groups judging by other comments have read
@11:33 - "The competition is HOTTING up" LMAO..
I've heard that you guys have terrible grammar, but this is hilarious.. lmao!

Compitation is "what"ting up???? Supposed to be "heating". 😂😂 11:30 btw
safety in numbers ? Welcome to 2020
That's always been the case unfortunately
The irony is, it contradicts social distancing rules though.
Segregated dating is the safest way now; males in one room, women in another.
@@imcustomized spotted the troll 🤭
As if we need yet another dating app. This one is ridiculous. As if I'd want another couple with me!
Well this was almost 5 years ago, so they were right in that the online dating space has grown.
Toast and Fried Egg and Dragons Den, very nice.
I actually am doing this right now.
@@MF-nq9tk do you still watch them?

Didn’t Tinder do this years ago?
This was prior to tinder groups
"Great demo ben!" 🤣🤣

@@gardensoflondonmwgs7836 I've got to Bath them now, filled in the wet mud with sand from the pit.... Why 😭
@@garyclark2506 Nice! Stay blessed!
@Andy Charrington I'd rather they got muddy 😂
@Andy Charrington it's been an hour... I've changed my mind 😂 let me know if you need investment. I'd ask the Mrs but she's out
"Why did you fist bump?" "It showcases the teamwork."
Teamwork should show through naturally from how you interact with each other during the pitch. Adding artificial gestures to represent teamwork, gestures which are so jarring Peter questioned you on them, is a very odd choice.
Whenever someone comes onto the den saying we are pretty confident that we will achieve
Tuka got so much free land and offices that he can drop them with deals , like his giving away candy just to sweeten the deal
I can't for the life of me understand how these lads thought those suits were a good idea. Where'd they even get those?
I would have asked two of them for the full amount and thus avoided the need for a second funding round.
Weird idea.
Definitely unappealing
Peter: amazing what money can do
Peter's brain: 😳
c++ say"um but ehh"
(*WARNING! WARNING! YOU JUST SAID THAT ABOUT YOUR WIFE!!*)
Peter: I'm out
Poor Touker! Hardly anyone chooses him if there’s any choice.
Lol. Not exciting, is he?
Loaded though. Free clothes. I'm in. Lol
I think he’s sweet.
@@OakApplegardens don’t forget the office space 😂
I´d love to partner up with Touker in a business. I don´t know why so few on the programme feel the same way!
No one asked a key question - if this is a good idea, why wouldn't Tinder etc do the same thing
Because this was before tinder
@@tomclark2602 no actually they mentioned in the pitch that they wanna be as big as Tinder
Well Tinder did end up doing the same idea
Every damn lunch time.
nah they were off for the past 3 days and it was painful
You must only eat lunch 1 to 2 times a week
It's a first in the Den, a business made to arrange foursomes.
2:20
"But at present, there is not one app that offers foursomes."
I'm in and out. Lol
This was far from heated.
The last time Deborah swung , she boxed her knees and sued the park ...
Touka online dating profile bio: I have an office based in London; enough said
A good add-on for existing sites but tricky for a 'a single option'. I don't have any friends, for starters!

I think the suits are fire!
2:09 Peter's smile. 😂
Hysterical 😂
“If u haven’t experienced online dating for yourself, *as you freely admit*”
Omg catty!
Watching on Valentines Day by coincidence 💘
The fist bump 😂
Jenny: Did I mention that I'm out? If not, well I am now! I don't do dates.
If there is Facebook hanging around you do not go about pitching 'Facebook for couples'; unless of course you have someone like Nick to snap it up. lolz.
Hope Peter's wife didn't hear that...
It's just the suits 😂😂
