- Ex-teacher James Holmes entered The Den seeking a £20,000 investment in return for a 5% equity stake. ‘Mark Mate’ uses voice recognition technology to help teachers speed up their marking. Knowing how long teachers can spend on marking work, this seemed like a good solution to help free up some time.
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 don’t think one man in his kitchen can develop a solution to take us to the next level”
That is one of the most idiotic statements I’ve ever heard
Exactly. Although now we know why Jenny never invests: almost everybody who enters the den is one person who has developed a solution, and she just doesn't believe in that.
She meant he needs a time and a lot of work
😂😂😂
hitler would strongly disagree
Yes they said that about the little old Brit in his shed ,just look at some of the things that came out of that scenario.
This could be used to pre-print labels to stick on Jenny's forehead to say, "I'm out."
Oh my gosh this made my day 😂
LOOOOOOOOOOOL
Lmfao really good one mate 😄
LOL!! Oh my days hilarious comment!
😂🙂
Definitely the most polite entrepreneur they have had on in a long time.
I agree. I thought so. I liked his simple pitch a lot.
Well I mean he’s a teacher so he has to be polite and with kids he has to be patient
@@paulbalet Not if they’re delinquents.
polite isn't the key. speaking well is. sales is.
@@Hs022 he did taught well he was my teacher
Honestly, as an English teacher, I would use this.
ever searched speech to text on Google?
u didnt experience misinterpretation yet.
Text to speech often gets words wrong. I think It would be a right ol faf.
I am an NVQ assessor and have been using the dictation system into my portfolio work for about five years.
It saves me a massive amount of time and enables me to work through the enormous caseload in about half the time.
Great, now he just has to convince the other 6.999 billion people in the world...
This could be used in lots more areas than just schools.
That's what Tej Lalvani FAILED to seeaswellaspeterjones, .
@@TheBengalDragon you okay?
@@Gurpefy His space bar needs some grease..
yeah it could be used in prisons all the prisoners can wear stickers with their crimes on 🤣
Retail outlets?
Peter's got his team copying James's idea before the poor bastards back in the lift.
franko barressi 😂😂 shocked at Peter not investing
@@krystalchats4445 he will be investing. In his version of it.
Well if there is 3 big software suits used in schools that he needs to make this implemented to, those softwaremakers has to offer him a deal for him to get the APIs necessary to start the implementation if it's propriarity software, if that is what says that those companies doesn't want make this product themself or sell API together with the concert itself to a bigger company.?
@@anderspersson7084 all I got from that statement is that your a bit of a bellend.
@@anderspersson7084 You are assuming that those software products need to interact with each other. What if his software expanded and offered those functionalities as well? That's the best direction to take, as there's little chance for an API from any of them.
Jenny goes to microphone: “I’m out exclamation mark.... print label”
Matthew Morales 😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂👍
Haha
Probably best Jenny comment I've seen
Best one today
Did none of the dragons realise this could be diversified and used in other industries?
Exactly. The courts, police, etc......
I'm sure Peter has thought about it but he won't be investing because he wants all the cut and can develop it himself!
People are right, this does already exist but from my experience still requires some sort of user input that isn't voice activated. Also, not speech to text applications are built equally. Accents, dialects, different languages, etc.
Brilliant ending. Well done to him and his negotiating.
Thank you for leaving a decent comment Stephen. Everyone else on here is a sheep telling Jenny jokes.
@@SuperMuneera its so irritating every comment section
Investing your own money is no joke.
@@StephenFrazer85 So true.
Yeah basically brought him down by 20% 😂 good deal in my eyes
Jenny's expressions are so horribly condescending
More so than her refusal to invest in more than 5% of the entrepreneurs who put themselves and their hard work in front of her, I DESPISE her expressions.
They absolutely are, and that is precisely why she's so damn attractive :)
@@sergeybrin3553 What
@@sergeybrin3553 What
She's awful always quick to condescend someone. Deborah is a class act, she could learn a lot from her.
Jenny: I don’t think one man in his garage is going to make that much of a difference and take things to the next level, so for that reason, I’m out.
Steve Jobs: okay
Honestly she annoys me, i wish she would be replaced with someone who did actually invest, the guy KNOWS he needs help, why the fk does she think he is on the damn show! I wonder what Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Michael Dell would think about one man in his garage not doing anything
Sir Nigel Farage I thought the exact same thing
True dat
*kitchen
@@anyexpat Well she was replaced, but someone much better.
Touker: I’m going to make you an offer?
Jenny: “an offer, whats an offer”
This whole comment section is jokes about Jenny. And for that reason I'm out
😎😍🔥🔥is not a joke is for real
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm out too
No matter how many I read never get tired of a good Jenny joke. Its like a silent rick roll. So I'm out
Hahahahahahaha!! Good one
@Dunken the Drunken Discus Fish come in?
Jenny: I didn't complete school, therefore I'm out.
😂😂😂
@@gloryoguegbu she literally didn't though
Jenny "you're not getting my money" Campbell.
* I was out
Jenney Campbell: "Basically, i havent come up with a good enough reason to say im out so i'll make up some complete jibberish to make it sound like an actual reason."
Touker: "James, i'm gonna make you an offer"
Jenny: "🤔"
Jenny Thinking: “Just to remind you, I’m out”
I hate jenny shes a snob, how she scoffs and digs into entrepreneurs.
Plus she doesn't invest.
07:15 "I don't think one man in his kitchen is going to develop the solution that will take us to the next level."
And this is why I *LOATHE* Jenny. She adds nothing and she is rude for the sake of it.
What’s she doing in the den. She belongs in the kitchen
Her mind set is of a banker, she just got wants quick investment less work
She's bloody useless ,they should sack her. Then she's OUT For life lol
How Jenny’s got her millions , she won’t spend a penny
by not spending a single penny.
Yup, literally by not spending a penny, if she does, it’s 1/100 chance and the payment is always gradual over a period of time rather than just giving the full amount upfront 😂
Jenny is just taking up space... She's nowhere near as wealthy as the others... Peter is worth 485m... Tej is worth 390m... Touker is worth 150m... Theo who used to be on is worth 300m... while Jenny is only worth 30m... Deborah on the other hand is only worth 40m probably because she invest in everything
She's there for the free water and free samples of food when it's a food biz 😂
@@den_525 I thought these dragons were a lot more richer. Many of my relatives easily surpass Deborah, touka and jenny at that kinda numbers.
He truly is a teacher at heart, he gave himself a grade at the end 😆👍
Massive respect for this guy and the way he handled himself.
Jenny’s notebook:
• Solid business ✔️
• Highly investable ✔️
• £1M net profit ✔️
Hmm. No way I can be part of that therefore...
I'm trout
I think that notebook might a colouring in book
She’s actually drawing massive wang

Entrepreneur: "I can save teachers a tremendous amount of time".
Jenny: "You are not shaved, for that reason I'm out".
yes i think we ve done that now mate?

Isn't it shaven? I may be wrong .
Jenny: I'm out
James: Hello, I used to be a teacher...
Jenny: You didn’t print me a sticker label, therefore I’m out.
Am I the only one that feels like the expressions held by the other dragons at the end of the video suggests that they're all annoyed touker invested because they'd planned on stealing this guy's idea..
Jenny"Im Out" print label.
lolll she shouldve done it
Comment of the day have a cookie🍪✔
@@404killer Nahhh that's wayy too meann😂😂
And for that reason I am out
If he did that to every Dragon that said “I’m out” I would’ve been on the floor 🤣🤣
Jenny: Can you print me a label saying 'I'm out'
"Since Dragons’ Den aired on November 4th 2018 we have decided not to continue our investment with Touker Suleyman and instead go it alone. I received a huge amount of support and guidance from Touker in the months before and after the show and we parted on fantastic terms, but this was a challenge that I felt the company could do on our own.
After appearing on TV it’s no surprise that our brand awareness has increased which means our customer base has shot from 500 to over 3000 users. The most amazing part of this is the feedback we have be receiving from everyone using Mark Mate. This has enabled us to make drastic improvements to the system and allow the product to grow into a more ‘well rounded’ tool for teachers."
6,000 users now according to their website. Pretty fast growth for within the education sector which is traditionally slow to change and adopt new technologies.
Good call! He wanted way too much equity in your company! I hope you keep growing!
This is really refreshing. People need to calm down and lose their desperation before going on Dragon's Den.
It was crazy to hear Touker saying 'I will give you ALLLL of the money, but for 50%': really? Half of the future profits from this man's life work will be taken away for 20k?
I should probably contact dragons den and and tell them that Jenny’s out before they film the next episode
Jenny: Deborah, you are being too needy, therefore I'm out.
Jenny: Can you print me a label saying 'I'm out'
Steve Jobs: Introducing the Apple iPhone.
Jenny: well touch screen isn’t new and phones are certainly not new, I’m a little underwhelmed.
His word recognition system was very accurate. He could license it to TH-cam for use on their video subtitles.
The face that Jenny makes when someone makes an offer is priceless like they just made the mistake of their life 😂😂 oh Jenny you’re a savage
Jenny: can you print me an “I’m out” sticker?
Touker with His Office space and Jenny with her “I’m out” is ridiculous at this stage 😂
Jenny: I’m not in, and for that reason I’m out.
Hahah 🤣🤣🤣
Me at school: "Jenny, could I borrow a pen?"
Jenny: "Sorry, I'm out"
So SO pleased for James - awesome idea and really hope he does brilliant from this!
At least this guy was prepared with his numbers, which is rule #1 in the Den. He provided his numbers clear and concise to Peter and he did not falter.
Jenny:
"Ï'm out."
"exclamation mark"
"print label"
How did he not accept the offer by printing a label saying: "I will accept your offer"
missed golden opportunity
*Jenny running out of excuses sweats nervously*
Jenny: "I'm not in, and for that reason, I'm out."
Nice save Jenny!
Jenny when she leaves her house "i'm going out, so i'm out"
OUTstanding!
Yeah, she will start looking in these comment sections for ideas😊🙄
He was my teacher in middle school! He was lovely :)
This is a great example that shows business doesn't have to be overly complicated, or cutting edge, or the next Facebook. Simple idea, packaged well, sold to those who need it, sorted. He seems a nice bloke - I hope his business is a success.
Jenny: I’m wearing Red, and I Don’t Like Bread, so for that reason, I’m out
Nice copy & paste
Jenny "it feels a bit clunky"...bit like you love. As an ex teacher I have so much respect for this guy. Lets face it, Jenny is a peasant. Thats P-E-A-S-A-N-T.

This is actually a really good piece of technology and this could go much further than just schools too. How 4 of them went out so early amazes me I’d be investing in that asap and getting people interested very quickly.

I like Touker. The man knows what he is capable of.
Jenny is always so negative. She doesn't give constructive feedback like the rest of the dragons. She just tries to bring the entrepreneurs down so she can say I'm out.
Completely agree. She was not a good addition to the Den and rarely positive. I would not want to go into business with her. Usually a bit of a sour look on her face.
As a former teacher in South Korea, I think this is an incredible idea!
I just looked up the company and they didnt go through with the deal:
JH: I have had a lot of great support from Touker but we decided to part ways and not go through with the investment. It was something that I started on my own and I really wanted to maintain control in steering the company in the direction I knew it should go! We have gained a huge amount of awareness from schools and our user base has grown almost 20 fold which is fantastic.
Yea, JH looked so reluctant in accepting the offer that I knew he wasn't going to go through with it. He was only accepting as if to make Touker happy.
Good to hear that he was able to grow the business without giving a big chunk of it away. I thought that 30-35% for £20,000 was WAY too much considering the company was already making £100k net. Assuming no further growth at all, Touker would get his money back in less than 1 year. Something along the lines of 10% would be fair.
Wonderful.
Touker: I forgot to tuck my shirt therefore it’s out.
😂😂😂😂
Touker: I forgot my shirt's called Jenny
😂😂😂
He wanted 50%?
That's just disgusting. I understand they can get the business on the next level, but it's not their idea.
Absolutely. Didn't the teacher lad say earlier on that he had something like 120,000 gross and 110,000 net the previous year? If that's right 35% of the business for £20,000 is a monumental rip off
Bro he wanted to be equal partners in the venture. If anything it was greedy of the teacher to ask for 25% and considering Touker dropped down to 30% was actually really generous considering the state (or lack of) the product / business.
The only thing teacher did here was think about printing voice recognition to help in curriculum. Teacher had only a few schools in his book and if it was doing so well wouldn't have the trouble hiring a couple of developers to refine his software.
Touker on the other hand has connections into all the major spots and was willing to work on the business hence the 50% offer.
For 35% provides only an average incentive for him to actually get the product into all the major supply chains.
It's like what do you want? Equal partnership and having the shark investor actually do half of the work for you *(so you have more time to teach)*
Or 30% and having the shark investor adopt a more advisory role.
I would've chosen the 50%. Sometimes you gotta make things interesting for the other person to get on board with your project.
You don't make it interesting you're not getting as much involvement. If you're only giving 5% then don't expect to be treated anything more than a side revenue for the investor.
That's assuming a fair and invested partnership. Which in this case it seemed to be so.
Nothing remotely 'disgusting' about it. Give me a break.
I'm glad he got the offer. He's got the passion Toukers got the direction. Good result.
The investment didn't go through, though.
i want this guy to succeed so much. i have so much respect for teachers and scientists. takes special people.
What a great guy! Very humble and honest man. I wish him all the best.
Jenny: "I dont think one man in his kitchen is gonna develop the solution thats gonna take us to the next level".

In Windows 10 - you can turn on the voice recognition and dictate a document by voice already.
This is true, but you cannot instantly print this feedback while collecting detailed assessment data in a suitable form for teachers all in one go...
Nice, articulate, well-mannered man. Happy for him.
Jenny: i was a drop out at school, so therefore I'm out
Jenny: I love reading about myself in the TH-cam comment sections, therefore I'm out.
Seems like a nice guy. Very humble and cares about teaching which is good to see. Glad Touker made him an offer.
Liked this guy alot, such a inspire! Wish him all luck!

An offer of 20k for 50% of his business is daylight robbery

awesome episode.
Genuinely happy for him. He's sincere. Seems like a good decent mate to have. God Bless him.
That's very kind of you to say and I can confirm, James is a friendly guy and a good boss to work for!
@@markmate6711 Thanks very much for your kind reply and yes, James and I exchanged messages a couple of weeks ago and he's exactly as I expected: kind, and like you said, friendly so I'm genuinely glad for you to have him as a coworker. And I can tell you from my experiences as am sure you'd agree that to work with a good boss & decent people (just nice folk) often is good enough & more than enough reason to continue working where one is, as is often the case "people join jobs & quit organizations" i.e., who they work with, so I am genuinely happy for you. I wish you & James, your families, your team & all your loved ones successful prosperous lives full of happiness & joy. Thank you again. All the best
Well he's getting free office space now
Jenny: "I love to drink lots of beer and then drunkenly shout and start fights. And for that reason, I'm lout".
Awesome piece of innovation to be fair. Nice work man 👍
What a delightful person. Very humble and modest.
This could spread like wildfire in schools. One teacher to the other spreading like a disease.
It only needs a powerful team and connections to protect and develop it that this dragon probably brings.
I am surprised why other dragons didnt come in. Well done Suleiman.
As soon as he mentioned he was a teacher, Jenny went "I'm out"
Damn this guy was on-point with his presentation. Confident and thorough pitch, and he knew his numbers pretty well. It's unfortunate that his product didn't live up to that hype. I'm really glad he accepted Touker's revised offer; also I hate the editor for cutting out the part where he mentioned his officers wtf
Congratulation. You did a good job indeed! Such a gent you deserve all the success!!!
Toukah: so were the last ones standing, where do you want to take the. Business?
Guy: to your London office
Jenny:

Easily the most ridiculous reason for Jenny declaring herself out yet lol...

Fantastic idea so far. I love it.
great idea think I get started cheers mate
Jenny: 'I'm School and this is for Jenny, therefore I'm out"
Well done Touker! Jenny and Tej always pull out after Deborah and Peter do. Who am I kidding...Jenny always pulls out. Touker plays by the beat of his own drum and has great sensibility.
I wouldn't pull out of Deborah. Always be in. Lol
Richard S yeh ok then...
"It's very easily copyable"....teacher corrects him by saying "It's easily REPLICATED" lol
A great idea... And a simple one... But it could be used to save time in loads of ways.
Well done that man 👏
