- Former barrister, Dupsy Abiola is next into the Den., she's obviously used to arguing her case in court but the question now will is, will that be enough to tame one of our Dragons? Dupsy is looking for a £100,000 investment in return for a 10% stake in 'Intern Avenue' - An online internship directory website designed to connect employers with students and graduates.
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.

This is the first time I saw Hilary’s eyes light up like that. She REALLY saw the qualities and the potential this lady has!
Nice to see that.
No matter where she is in her life, she will always find a way. She is an impressive woman. I'm in awe.
Why bring her gender into it?
@@91vanced14 I used pronouns. Move along.
@@TonkaJay why??
@@91vanced14 Simply because she IS a woman. Nothing more, nothing less.
Don’t go searching for assumed ideas that aren’t there.
Nowhere in what @J.Jammer writes can you see that there is some sort of ‘hidden message’ or so.
@J.Jammer actually took the time to explain to you why the word ‘woman’ was chosen, and STILL you are nagging with an additional ‘why’.
Don’t be ridiculous and accept the giving explanation.
You do NOT ‘know it better’.
People like you annoy me. Nothing else than Problem Starters.
@@91vanced14 literally who cares?
Duspy’s father was arguably the most loved Nigerian of his time. Good to see she’s doing great.
And still is
If this was Shark Tank USA,the entrepreneur would have started the pitch with the sob story.Full power to this lady for not even talking about her backstory until Hillary prompted her
True with the tense music
Maybe but lets not pretend that these people who run the shows dont know about the history of the people coming on and without a doubt prompt the dragons to ask about it. Could even go as far as the entrepreneur being in on it to (as in being told to express their story on the show). This is common on shows like britians got talent, x factor etc. Lets not pretend these tv shows would pass up on emotional entertainment oppurtunities like this.
@@LBReaper101 shut up.
@@chaytiano6896 how about you shut up first when you have nothing decent go say and no counter arguments. Are you 12 years old? Get lost....
@@LBReaper101 these pitches last hours so I'm sure at some point in every pitch they ask about their history. They pick out the "best" parts from each pitch
Solid Pitch, Fantastic Smile, Warm Personality, Very professional, driven, good head on her shoulders, what's not to like, investment guaranteed. RIP to your father, he would be very proud I'm sure.
Agree to the above, totally Craig. The relationship that She had with Her father was, clearly, wonderful; just a few years but far better than too many awful ones.
Be lucky.
@@bobbarrett2631 Yes, such a shame but from adversity, she's came a long way and probably the most likeable pitch on dragons den.
The pitch was silly so that's something not to like.
@@ouroborostechnologies696 The only thing silly is you and your pointless comment.
@@ouroborostechnologies696 what is it with you being so negative
In memory of late MKO Abiola GCFR. Dear Dupsy, keep soaring! Awesome pitch, poise, determination, and focus.
Yes, she is Abiola's daughter!
This lady.....is GOLD.
Very disarming personality. Never seen the dragons be quite so taken with anyone. She's wonderful.
The way she talk, communicate, answer their questions, and confidence, she really is going to be a successfull person in the future.. i am actually idolizing her right now.
That woman is one of life's winners. She will be a success no matter what she does. She's intelligent and articulate whilst being exceptionally dynamic and likeable
I've never seen this pitch before - probably the best pitch I have ever seen in the Den, it sent shivers down my spine! What an incredible lady!!!
Had a quick look at her her family and her father was Moshood Abiola, may he rest in peace and I'm sure he's incredibly proud of her
Wow incredible and amazing young lady!
And who is he?
Moshood Abiola was a smart man with book and street smarts. Sad his country missed a golden opportunity.
@@MegaAlbeagleMoshood Abiola ran for presidency in Nigeria won the election, the military refused to give up and he got locked up. Died in jail. A democracy day is a public holiday in Nigeria in his honor
@@enterpriseexperts5417 he was killed no doubt
What a lovely woman! I hope she goes far and makes her business a success!
Peter hasn't looked this sharp and crisp in years.
This woman has everything. She's brilliant and poised. She has the most beautiful face and winning smile I've seen on the screen for ages.
Delighted for her & well deserved
A great episode. She has amazing poise. I really like her
She’s easily one of the most amazing person that’s been on the show.
@Liam COUGH Go back under your bridge.
No she’s not. Another non-tech person trying to start a tech startup and fail.
@Liam COUGH weird reply... Wtf
And it’s taken them years to show this pitch
@Liam COUGH where did it go wrong in your life Liam? I'm serious what happened for you to get here mentally?
WOW!!! Best pitch ive seen!!!!
Very bright and brave. She kept it together even when they started saying “am out”
I think i was rooting for her along with her dad, what an inspirational lady
That was awesome ❤
If you know who this ladies father is, you will know that she's born for greatness. I can't even start to imagine what that pressure must feel like but at the same time it seems that its her driving force.
She spoke very well. Well done to her
Simply amazing
What an inspirational person
I wish her every success. 👍

@@pjl_bee514 She could still be successful wherever she is now
From a presentation point of view, she was wonderful (excepting the slip up perhaps caused by nerves over the burn rate). Clear speaker, oozing charm and intelligence, I really hopes that this business works out - or rather - is working out.
She is the best I've seen on this show. SHE is very inspiring. Loved her story; very touching. So happy for her! 😃👏🏼
Excellent pitch. Warmth, personality, humility, and a great business model. Learn from this girl.
Woman*
@@TheCarlScharnberg thank you for fixing that!!
Where are they now?
According to Crunchbase, the company is now closed. It was acquired by Bright (an online recruitment network) on Dec 4, 2017 for an undisclosed amount which is when social media posts also stopped.
This suggests she successfully exited the business via an acquisition. I'm sure she's still doing great.
@@tayofasunon1657 she died, ran over by a lorry
Good episode
What a lovely lady Is Dupsy :-)
I personally wish her all the best with Peter.
Remarkable individual
A fantastic pitch, a lovely lady and an amazing back story. She also has a beautiful genuine smile. When she was speaking I was mesmerised listening to every word.
What an amazing entrepreneur!!

Really????? Wow!
@@missceebrownin that's what a quick google search said
She was amazing, what a fantastic woman!
Love Peter he is international thinking
Intelligent, beautiful and driven ! Whats not to love 👏👏
My favorite pitch
The money was not given, company now defunct! Great Lady!
Amazing person, great attitude
She's awesome
I was hoping she would ask both willing investors to split up 30% at 15% each for their £50,000 investment. Having 2 Dragons arguably beats only one, I think.
Depends on who the two dragons are tbh. In this case I'd agree it's better to have PJ with a higher stake in the business; that way he's more invested in its success.
Agreed with above but will add that it also depends on type of business. I think Peter alone has more than enough resources/connections to help develop a website.
Peter is more than 2 dragons though :) I am glad she picked him, no disrespect to the other dragon. To be honest this happens a lot on the Den. Peter makes an offer and someone else comes in after to try to match it. I have seen it with lesser pitches when suddenly they get interested after Peter's offer, because really he is pretty good at what he does, hence why his worth is more than all the other dragons put together.
5:19 Hilary has a beautiful smile, I've never seen that before!!!
Lol got here before I got my notification. My radar working. 😅
I've seen this before. Is it a repeat episode?
All things are possible to the one who believes. Congratulations!
What a incredible person she is!
This is incredibly difficult to demonstrate a website to would-be in investors, with only a couple of screenshots. She should have brought a laptop and a big screen so they could have used it and tested it.
It was ages ago I suppose they had less possibilities in the den.
2008ish tech wasn't so forgiving
I did similar pitches at Uni, using existing software to just make a basic prototype and never had any issues. There was great, free community building software like Dolphin around in 2008 and earlier.
its probably what others would call a nigerian 419
These elderly dragons run in an old school mentality, I dont think they are tech savvy, more likely the let their secretaries or young staffs do the tech work
i was hoping she would try to get two dragons at the end there. Maybe one is enough.
I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SOUL CALLED BARRISTER JOHN WAROSA
Can we please have "first shown in...+date" for these videos. Context would help
Split investment wouldn't have been worth it in this case. You would want Peter full on.
Good job
What a lovely lady.
I would have liked to have heard more about the algorithm. I've dealt with similar algorithms and the time complexity has always been factorial. Multiply the number of interns by the number of placements, and square it. If they were only allowing the employers to state preferences, and not the interns, that would have halved the complexity but delivered a poor outcome for the interns. Running a cycle to allocate 300 interns at 300 placements would take several minutes. Multiply those numbers by 10 and the processing time is multiplied by 100 and it now takes several hours.
Well, that comment made a nice change from Jenny jokes.
@@Jehannum2000 why would there be need for any Jenny jokes? She is already OUT of this one 😁😂😂
You may be overthinking it. This is really basic stuff.
So, the page is offline now... xP
I hope this girl is sucessful more than anyone else thats ever entered the den. So classy. So decent.
@13:00 She should become a clairvoyant, she has the look for it.
💰Dragons have a ❤heart...after all
Learned a new word today.
At first I thought this was about coffee 😄
Glad I'm not alone 😂😂
Let me guess. You're not British. LOL.
The way Hillary looked at her.... 😉
True daughter of her father.
Business is in her blood
Fore sight and determination....2nd nature just like her father.
Big up the Naija fam.
Anyone else like "yeah"?
That smile Gorgeous girl Great pitch When youve heard Theo slate the idea rewind the vide to 1 minute and 13 14 15 seconds and look at his contempt for this lovely girl
My sister you did us proud. I hope it became successful. RIP MKO Abiola. Naija gal in the building. Una know say Naija no de carry Las... Sure gurl 👊
Am I the only one who thought she was going to ask for both dragons?
You cannot have a picture on a Cv though, because you cannot be selected based on appearance or age
You can have a picture on a CV. Linkedin has profile pictures. Its just that employers cannot reject/accept your CV based on your appearance, with a few exceptions like acting work.
Anyone know what happened to the business?
Sounds like indeed in the US which is huge
Good to see MKO's daughter here. Best wishes to her.
Any update on the business
Got acquired by Bright Network! Employers over 250 and 150k members. This is definitely one of the dens successes
@@missceebrownin Thank you!! 🤗
@@missceebrownin she was impregnated by a white man and is very happy.
That is how you pitch.
Hope dragon Den also come to india 🙏🙏
My God!Whatever she undertakes, this woman is pure gold!
Why she did not take both
The dragons wanted to see who was more popular rather than the money.
I hv been watching this show 11 year and she’s my favourite person but one thing she will regret will be to said split both 15/15 👍🏿
Well here's a good advert for fighting for freedom.
She is good
Isn't this one of Nigeria's MKO Abiola's daughters?
Yes
Her father would have given her the money with so much ease. Bless his soul, and I pray she is successful in her business.
Yes it is
its fun
Solid pitch, she deserves all her success. Well done peter also. RIP to her father. Hed b proud of her today.
Sausage sandwich and Dragons. Yum.
Corned beef and onion pie (home-made).
4 ads for 15min is a bit much
Lovely lass
this was just TV, very little business facts and figures involved,there was no present and projected income and the negotiations pointed this out too, what was the target to bring down the 40% to 30%?
Take both on a 20 20 60 split
Why didnt she get both dragons on board 50% each.
She's absolutely beautiful!!!
It's all fine giving her compliments etc which she deserves of course, but at the end of the day did that business succeed I wonder ?
Hillary is such a nice lady
Hilary must be wearing a syrup ?
What happened to the business ?
What wow Peter make offer ? Dupsy abiola great .
Is the dude that introduces this wearing a rug 🤣
