- Next into the Den is father-daughter innovation i-stay. Launched in 2012, the i-stay is a non-slip shoulder strap for bags and rucksacks which is patent-pending and can clip onto any bag with d-rings, the duo seek £50,000 in return for 10% equity but are the family ready to bring an outsider onboard?
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.

Just watched a programme about French philosophers. I'm glad I did because until then I knew Foucault about that subject.
Everyone should have a dad like this - print money and hand it over without counting
I believe the term they want to use is Sugar Daddy xD
If only there was a way to transport things instead of having to carry it! i cant wait until the wheel is invented!
@@jerbsherb4391 He’s her real dad.
That is not what printing money and handing it over means , daffy. he invested in his daughter and they are on the route to make a profit or did you miss that
*entrepreneurs: iStay
*dragons: iMout
Or isn’t that Jenny’s company?
"Father uncertain how much he's pumped into daughter... " so glad i clicked the video to read the rest of the title lol
😂😂😂
Perv lol
He can always try his hand at something else now stage name shall be daddy gallon
I was almost out before I was in the daughters...... business
Just about to make the same joke! Great minds..
Dad just giving daughter everything she wants. He doesn’t care if he lost £120k or £220k
If she's his only child you can't blame him....
Surely you should still at least write the number down!

The reason that she is still positive at the end of it is because she still has daddys account to fall back onto. She's living a fairytale.
Not her fault and also at least she is doing something herself
@@yeeee6184 The point is that it's so much easier for her. Money talks, you can't get away from that
@@netweed09 ofc its easier but i dont know why u would blame her for having the privilige of rich parents. u can say the system is unfair but nothing she did wrong. U could say nearly every body in the first world is living a fairytale because they have privileges people from third world countries dont have. Of course thats unfair but its how it is
Should she give his money away or something?
@@yeeee6184 Erm. Could you pls quote me on where I 'blamed her'?
But rest of your comment is fair, I understand it
Daddy's girl. He doesn't care about the loss, he still bankrolls it because he's giving her everything she wants
He shouldn't have just thrown money at her daughter's business like that. Throw it at her education, make sure she knows what she's doing, SHE should have been the one giving figures and answering questions, not her dad after 3 years of running that business. Peter was on point here.
Starting right in there getting your hands dirty is the BEST education you can get! I applaud them
@@moto.munchies in some vocational jobs like plumbing and stuff yeah, but you wouldn't do that for teachers or doctors, you need a level of education first. She didn't even have the baseline.
When it comes to business, experience is a better teacher than education.......but the Dad held the daughter's hand so much that she wouldn't have experienced anything really
This is better education that she is ever going to get than University scams
She probably did, she sound’s educated
Sarah is spot on, no way would they listen to any investor that was outside of the family.
How do you know that? She made a dumb assumption and likely most of you have no clue about how investments work since if she had invested, she would own preferred shared which carries a higher voting rights than common stock.
You see, an investor can leverage the investment by putting a clause in it, that even though they own less of the outstanding shares, their voting rights are equal.
What she said would make no sense in most companies since they are owned by people who would have had an established relationship before she came to the table. Small time investor trying to find an excuse not to invest. what if the company was owned by two friends or coworkers or a boy friend and girlfriend, wouldnt the nonsense she claimed still apply ?

@@LivingLifeFastLLF hi Ricky. Good to see you here lad.
I s'pose either way... as long as it works for them! :)
Hhhhhh
@@LivingLifeFastLLF Bet you are watching this whilst eating, as Emma said in one of the ep.
Peter smashes it again with his response
Nick was spot on. Very easy to replicate once other companies see it
I wonder what the patent is for. The shoulder strap has been around for years so comfort, durability and non slip aren't new. The air flow part is what I haven't seen which honestly I don't care. Maybe people who live in extreme hot weather do.
The fact that it's apparently a father-daughter business and yet father did most of the talking after the demonstration makes me think this is a business where the father is real leader and the daughter occasionally helps as a salesperson.
Or she just doesn't have much confidence
Father owns and runs the business, daughter ain't bad to look at. That's the father-daughter business structure here
I love the way she says it's a daddy daughter business but she literally hasn't got a clue about the money, stumbles in the first 5 seconds of talking and then stays completely silent 🤦🏻 so basically daddy's doing everything and she's hoping to reap all the reward 🤣
Better than the ones who talk but know nothing about the business Haha
@@katherineminor3402 i assume you're referring to OC up there. What made you draw that inference? They made a valid criticism of the performance of a partner and you made a baseless ad hoc attack against someone on the internet. Did it make you feel better?

She's going to destroy her fathers retirement money.
Yeah, but at least she's trying to do it with a business idea rather than spending it on clothes, cars and going on expensive holidays. She may get better at business in the future which tbh, her dads helping her to do which is a great thing. I wish my family gave me the support I needed to make my idea's become a reality.

@@ashleelmb This does not help. She has to do things INDEPENDENTLY.
Theo would think it evens out, because it’s her inheritance money anyway.
I wanna see Falcon's balance sheet 😂
One of the great things I somehow retained from school was a quick, accurate and effective ability to handle basic numbers.
It is MIND BOGGLING to me how few people can handle general math.
The dad probably inherited his money too by the looks of it.
Top comment!
Peter Jones knows his numbers and knows his business taking rejection from him is a learning curve you take on board what he says and it will pay in the long run .

She seems so nervously hiding something. Looks like she's really worried her dad is going to spill the secret.
Ye sounds like some shady funding or something
And the accountant smiled and ran away with hundreds of thousands of pounds because they'd had no ideas about numbers and figures.........
I like how the Dragon tried to explain to them in different ways.
Peter always make his reality check
Haven't seen much of Jenny lately. She should get out more.
I know, I know, they go on forever. Don't let it ruin your day.
Ayy
They agreed to stop wasting time since all she does is declare herself out she can make investment decisions from home with even look at them
I’m out
Did some digging, i-stay is not a separate company any more. Daughter is listed as a director at dads bag company and dads bag company is appears to be on the decline looking at yearly financials that were available.
Pandemic
Looks like i-stay has ceased trading, but funnily enough Falcon is still going strong
That title got me thinking I was on a different website for a second lol
I wish everyone id met in business was like Peter Jones-he gives it to you straight, cant ask for more than that.
Peter going savage mode III 😭
Deborah’s look at the end says it all.
Father must have thanked Peter in his head. Only reason his daughter was there was his money! She needs to prove herself first in an open market, earn her own money than learning her ropes at the cost of family resources!
I got ' Father Uncertain How Much He Pumped Into Daughter's Bu...' which is even worse lol 😂😂😂
me too, was disappointed when i read the true headline
they change the tiltle
@@luisvega666 The Bar Stewards
I was quite shocked by this title today until I saw the word business at the end 😅
Lol 😂
Same
Yuck
Inappropriate use of the word "pumped" 😂
😂😂
I always wait in a stated of fascinated morbid curiosity when I think Peter may be on the brink of ‘drilling down’.
Daughter at the end: we JUST let us down on the numbers. Throws her dad under the bus. Fails to realize her presentation was weak, she isn't involved enough, and it's her responsability to know the numbers. Lazy.
This is the price you pay for spoiling your daughter.
Nobody really buys a strap by itself, people just put up with the strap that comes with the bag. Plus it matches the bag.
I can't believe no one picked up on the istay strap being useless because you can just opt to wear a regular strap cross body to prevent the strap from slipping. Thats it. Problem solved.
Nick Jenkins was absolutely right about the idea being basically a commodity as well.
Nah, I loathe wearing cross body straps; makes me feel 13 years old. I have narrow shoulders. Bags constantly slip off. I can’t understand a business person like Sarah just thinking ‘well, I don’t need it so therefore nobody else would either.’
Yep, the obvious. Also, I was buying/using rubberized strap pads long before they came up with it. I just have to shake my head sometimes.
Cross strap is uncomfortable
it´s astonishing to see how many people are in business and they are so bad with numbers. honestly, it´s mind boggling.
This is how I figure most “self made billionaires” get their start.
11:28 that little wave, so adorable ^^

Uploaded 14 minutes ago? How did you know I started making breakfast and would want this to enjoy breakfast to?
when I ran a search for "pump into daughter" this video popped up. what the hell.
Df was you originally looking for 😂
Don’t worry daddy... just give me the card...
Ok honey...
Don't you just love entrepreneur's that are strapped for cash but haven't a clue how it all slipped away (pun intended).
The daughter is clueless 😂😂😂
Are we still doing Jenny jokes? - Ah good.
Jenny: I sometimes have to say things to people without making a sound.
For that reason.... I mouth.
It's not good at all. They're boring and overused.
Of course we're still doing Jenny jokes. They're outstanding.
The daughter doesn't even know what's going on she barely could give a presentation!
No offers from the dragons, but a lot of young women now calling him daddy & making him offers.
Peters advice was beautiful
Dont take a wage when you're running a startup, plain & simple. Greed screwed them up; if a business isn't profitable, don't take money out of it. If you can't take the pain, don't start the business; if you want to be paid, work harder to make it profitable
its actually easy to see why their are confused. CPA here - non-accountants often do their accounting using a cash - basis, so they only look at the change in cash on hand and mistakenly confuse it as profit/loss. This is where they are getting to the $3k in cash balance after year 1, so they spent 97k from the 100k initial. We dont know how much is expense, since the dragons didn't ask about change in inventory or other assets. Year 2, their answer tells me they are reconciling with their tax returns or a financial statement they dont understand, and you can see the confusion on their faces. The accountant would have collected other expenses claimed that did not directly flow through the bank account, such as bad debt, milage, depreciation, etc. Thats likely where the 22k loss figure comes from, or it is adjustments to retained earnings that the accountant would have made for their other contributions to the business.
Clear a message from Peter Jones to both of them. I hope the daughter appreciatea she got a good head start because of her father.
Lovely people but definitely needed a better grip of their business's finances to stand any chance of a genuine investment
Are you competing for the job of Obvious Voiceover Guy? 🤣
They were trying to pull the wool over the dragons eyes
By 'better grip' do you mean to say, umm....the 'i-stay' grip? 😛
Love it when people come in the Den and think, the Dragons were born yesterday. Good escape for the Dragons on this deal.
I love their bond as father and daughter
Peter was very nice to them 👏
The guy has no clue how he funds his business.
You may be surprised how common that is.
It amazes me because over life idc how little or big amount of money I’ve dealt with, I’m always knowing where every dollar is going. It’s not hard.
@@lupomagnotto8306 That's because you're dealing with pocket change and not big numbers, sonny
@@NiKtHeB0Ss it’s funny for you to assume what kind of numbers I’ve ever dealt with in my life, far from pocket change “sonny”
Also, numbers are numbers. Add some more digits in there if you want, still doesn’t make but the slightest of difference.
@@lupomagnotto8306 Defensive much? 😂 All I'm saying kiddo, is that a guy with no money claiming how easy it is to count money, is like a guy who no one wants to shag, complaining about how easy it must be to be a faithful husband
I must say I am very impressed with the Dragon's reasons for declining investment. That is the reason they are millionaires and we're not.
I would argue that it's common sense not to invest in a company that made £100k losses over 3 years and is owned by a girl who was pumped by her dad.
Basically why I watch it. Nick Jenkins looked five years into the future and sized up the competition. Peter realised who she was and her life path. Very clever abstract thinking.
They should have licensed this through other bag companies. Also this guy is probably getting scammed if he doesn’t understand the numbers.
It's his daughters business
His main company as a whole is worth 5.2M and the family looks as if it owns the factory these bags are made in...if you go and look at his father he looks to have done extremely well so the guys sitting on 10M in his personal account at least. So I doubt he is getting scammed.
I doubt they'll be interested in licensing. They can design their own straps and make a minor tweak to avoid patent infringement.
That lil wave at the end was cute lmao
Great advice from Peter
I had to click on this to see the full title, because youtube's thumbnail shortened it to:

John was a company secretary in a completely different company and was never named as a director in Falcon.
Falcon bags is still running today online with a total asstest amount of 200k.
Aight. Imma do it. Imma simp. Get me one of them straps
They've made similar attachments for decades.The only way it could make money is if it was about recognizable brand,- which is still pretty dubious.
This is a great lateral thinking quiz. They should have pitched Lateral Thinking games. They would have walked out with 5 offers.
