Deborah. She's so rude. She asked him to explain what the differences between both combs. And then she has the cheek to say I don't care what the difference is 😞
@Susan Wray Definitely, but also, the producers may encourage them to create suspense and conflict wherever possible. They definitely have been outright rude to some of the entrepreneurs though.
I didn't know the Tangle Teezer was pitched on Dragons' Den. They're so rude to him. The product is fantastic. As a Dad with 2 kids, it has literally changed my life.
Finding tangle teezers in my late teens changed my life. Especially throughout my backcombing days. Brushing hip length hair is a struggle but this cut brushing time in half
Deborah: *Asks what the difference is between his hairbrush and hairbrushes for horses* Shaun: *Starts to explain the difference* Deborah: "I don't care what the difference is I want to know it works" Umm??
@@missceebrownin it does. Just remember the first time you use a brush make sure your hair is moisturized and start from the tips and work your way up to the roots. With fully detanhled hair, sometimes you can just brush tight down. It's a minor miracle.
they mocked the first guy for being a colourist not a hairdresser, treated him as if he didnt know how hair worked because of that fact then had the audacity to get upset when he pointed out her very clearly dyed hair
He actually wasn't the one who pointed it out. One of the other dragons pointed it out, and he reacted to that. Then she got offended. Pointing out that it wasn't he himself who said that but actually it was one of the other dragons would've only made the situation worse, though, considering the inflated egos of the dragons.
He got set up by the guy next to Deborah too! He was the one who pointed at her. But I also thought it was funny how she said "it's not colored!" & everyone doing that "oh ok, right" look 😂
The tangle teaser really is living proof of being told you aren’t good enough to succeed and going ahead and doing it. They treated him awfully for a good idea, that has really gone far. I bet he’s laughing now 🤣 their loss
lol.. he deserved his criticism. he couldnt back up anything he was saying and sounded so silly and unsure of himself. it may have turned out to be a great idea but he didnt seem competent. hes asking for other peoples money and not having much to say.
I like how they called the first guy “aggressive towards the investors”. He was never aggressive at all, it’s the investors that got their own nickers in a twist about minor things.
They come across as they pettiest and entitled people I've ever witnessed, they seem to be looking for products that require nothing from them and just get a free ride on someone else's work, but hey... Capitolism
I’m confused about why it’s rude to imply someone might dye their hair? Cause she’s an older woman? Idk I wouldn’t be offended if people thought I dyed my hair because there’s nothing wrong with hair dye 😂
@@fredgalaxy7632 if you sold something for 20 mil and got 250k that's just slightly over 1 percent profit, who tf would continue if they just get 1% profit, think about it mate, you're probably better off with a job seeing as he probably didn't make all that in a year or two.
The first one is not aggressive. He is passionate and determine about his product. It's just that the dragons take it offensively or in a negative way.
@@cloudGremlin I thought the same too. I am SO glad he is doing amazing now. He did think it through, he didn’t know how to deliver. Hair is his craft.
and she was so triggered. Like she talks about how there’s other products like this out there, but the whole entire point of selling anything is so you bring something of better quality to the table. There’s already existing chairs and beds, doesn’t mean people won’t try selling better versions of it. haha just a bunch of waffle
Me too!! My hair is extremely thin and gets tangled so often and most brushes I used constantly pull my hair or don't work as well. His hairbrush works extremely well and my God I didn't know it was something that someone invented and needed investment in it. He's a true businessman and I'm glad he didn't give up!
Think about it this way though. He said he was going to take on their advice and act on it. Clearly he did, and clearly it paid off. That in a way makes it even more of a win because he basically got the advice needed for success entirely free :P haha.
I worked with horses for years and it’s nothing like ones for horses! Deborah was just trying to be clever. I have one of his designs and it’s brilliant 🤩
I agree! Closest thing I can think of is a magic brush (plastic curry) yet its still very different. With shorter and more bristles and different shape
@@showbizpizzafan66especially since magic brushes are a newer thing doubt they existed in 2007. Don’t know what debororah was going on about, probably just a way to brag that she has horses. Bet she hasn’t even taken care of her horses her self and pays a lot of money for people to do it for her.

It's obvious that Deborah has highlights. You can even see the streaks, and she tried to bullshit a colourist who had to concede that he was looking at the emperor's new clothes.
Mind you, I’ve genuinely never dyed my hair and it looks like that, blonde people have natural hair lights buttt my hair is light blonde now as a teenager but I BET ya it won’t be that light when I’m her age so she probs has dyed it😂
@@lucym9962 well I guess blond is becoming such a rare thing to see naturally these days. Only few Europeans countries have a decent number of naturally blondes and I guess with immigration and interracial marriage, the recessive gene is slowly disappearing. Now I just presume any blond I see to have dyed hair.
@@lucym9962 When you say your hair looks like hers, do you mean that it meets all these conditions: 1. Variety of blonde to platinum shades throughout most 2. Dark brown roots 3. Uniform and completely different, darker shade of yellow at later dates (such as the shot when they cut to her comment about how she thinks people should act when asking for money)
Tangle Teezer was an absolute revelation when I discovered it. My daughter (3 yrs old then) wouldn’t let us brush her hair until this came out. No knots, no pain wet or dry. She 18yrs old now and still only uses this first. My 6 yr old niece presently is the same. Well done to the company 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼.
yes!! i have a similar story, when my mum started using the tangle geezer to brush my hair it changed my life, now i’m 18 myself, and i don’t use anything else
This is the brush I always recommend to parents asking for hair care tips for their kids. A normal comb or even a wet brush will rip out their hair if you aren't careful, but the tangle teezer is flexible enough that it's virtually impossible to damage your hair or hurt yourself using it.
He seemed such a legit person, quite why he was so “shot down” by Deborah is unbelievable... That hair is coloured and enjoy that humble pie.. kudos to you Sean.
@@shelbymanners6729 or saying that they haven't had surgery. Give me a break, Deborah's hair is 100% coloured...and he didnt accuse her of it, he merely echoed what one of her fellow Dragons said. She was just so rude to him.
I don't begrudge anyone of making good money, but why is it so many rich people are miserable fucks? I look at her and Sugar and think I would rather earn 40k a year and be happy than by a miserable millionaire.
94 come on are you kidding me I thought she was older than that. Love the grey rat analogy. She could do with a tangle teaser across the face to iron out some of those wrinkles.
The first entrepreneur is amazing! He wasn't afraid to pitch his idea and stand in front of the dragons. He made the best out of it and put the feedback into practice to grow his business. What a great attitude!
Feedback? You call that already proven false rants a feedback? I don't understand why was he so nice to people who belittled and disrespected him meanwhile being completely wrong about his product and his ideas.
So true mate, they outrageously undervalue companies by intimidating entrepreneurs in front of cameras and then presenting themselves as the last chance
Rob Law is the founder of Trunki - you know, those little ride-on suitcases you always see kids wheeling around airports on. The Dragons actually rejected the business in the Den, but earlier in 2023 Rob sold the company in a deal thought to be worth over £12million.....BOOM!
Deborah getting offended because she's thinks she can fool us into thinking she doesn't dye her hair 🤣 She used a technicality - SHE doesn't dye her hair because she pays someone else to haha. The ego on these guys 😂
I didn't get her point, the guy clearly meant he's a hair colourist by trade, which is distinct from being a hairdresser and that's fair enough. Maybe Debra told one of those jokes she does sometimes, but you need well over a million in your bank account to actually laugh at it :)
Well DUNCAN doesn't know everything! I seen him on here twice go crawling into these business wanting to make a n investment in their businesses after he turned them down on shark tank ! They both told him NO ! So then he goed outside and tells the world thesez will lose money! POOMPOUS OLD MAN !
@@riverdeep399 her hair wouldn't be that colour from just bleaching grey hair, she would've needed colour in it to get to that colour. Toner at the very least, and she also had highlights.
“If you wanted 80,000 of someone’s own cash, I would avoid accusing them of dying their hair” isn’t saying someone’s hair is so good it looks coloured a compliment?
Ya either your hair color is so naturally good that it looks like it’s died or (in deborahs case) he’s so good at his job he knows if your hair is died from across the room
@@theveganvillainess yeah but she could just play it off as if it wasn’t and not be a dick about it, because you know if someone acts like that after you ask if their hair is dyed then you know it is
It was actually Duncan who said Debra’s hair was coloured, Shaun just agreed. We can all see the blonde streaks in your hair Debra… 100% coloured with highlights too! 🤣
The problem with the dragons is that they're looking for a business that has already been set up and already in profit/has confirmed orders that will allow them to be in profit right away. They almost never take a bigger risk and invest in a product/idea
That's what I used to think Dragon's Den was when I was a child. A show where anyone can go on with a new product/service and get funding. Whenever someone is successful with the dragons, it's because they're basically already making 5 figure profits and are 90% of the way there.
Yeah, and then they complain that the company founder wants his privately invested money back. That’s just hypocrisy because the dragon’s want the same and (considerably) more for their investment. If that’s such a big deal to the dragons, then negotiate preferential payback, but don’t weasel the founder out of his invested money!
The dragons only make their money back once the founder sells it. And thats the agenda they push through, they push the inventor in selling their business.
It depends. For instance the second guy came in asking for a quarter million, without even having a patent yet. Peter even said “If you came in asking for a lot less, I would’ve invested, but it’s too much”
3:15 Deborah: "You've hurt my ego by implying that I colour my hair, so let me remind you of how rich I am by casually mentioning that I own horses, and a stable." 🤦🏻♂️
Indeed, so glad for Shaun that he's done so well for himself. TT is one of few actual DD products/items that is used regularly at my home, and with good reviews :) Was a great pitch, well presented, cannot believe the Dragons didn't spot an opportunity there.
@Horatio D 1) Judging by the success of TT brush, obviously a comb for the horse never made it through as a useful and credible alternative. Or perhaps, no one has yet dared to try it out as an alternative, per DM's suggestion lol 2) You can see Shaun very correctly in my view started to answer this Q by pointing out to technology and how it's made and designed, to which DM interrupted him... That interruption was pretty rude of course, but more importantly an attempt to silence a very relevant point from the entrepreneur in defence of his invention.
Theo’s deliberate attempt to break the trunk I is infuriating… if you ram a car into a wall it’s going to crumple. If you throw a plate on the ground it’ll shatter. Does that make it not fit for purpose…?

@@abs6317 yes! American here, I recently discovered Dragon’s Den here on YT. When I saw James’ product I was thinking I wonder when this aired because I had watched the Shark Tank episode with this product previously.
Honestly, i would ve entered in contact with him later to see and he improved on the feedback problem and the innovation contest (if im not wrong he was praised for this too) But yeah, ego made them lose some couple millions oportunity
honestly when I saw him untangle the hair and then break the head of the manequin I said either he's one of those fake TV advertisers or that product is amazing, even if it's already available for horses.
Yeah, I had one. Well, seeing as I’m a transgender man it used to be pretty handy when I identified as female and had a long mane of hair. They were great, they still are.
I like the fact that when Theo goes to an airport he sees a Trunki and his daughters remind him of the potential investment he rejected. I bet at times he wishes he had invested and he'll probably live to regret it if it becomes more successful, which I'm sure it will as every parent in the country will want one of those.
I had no idea that the tangle teezer was a British product, never mind that it was on DD. Its a global brand that has inspired countless dupes. Its still the best type of brush I've ever used. Good for him, I bet theyre kicking themselves!
@@ObeseGorilla229 Duncan met him and admitted that they 'f....'ed it up'. That was nice of him to admit that they were wrong. It shows appearances are deceptive. Had he been smartly dressed business like probably things would have been different. But good on him to believing in himself...
im not the dragons did mess up. No patent guarantee, no feedback from possible customers, no accurate figures in terms of overheads. Not a sound investment based on presentation.
Honestly, there's really no need for the "Dragons" to be harsh and rude, and condescending to these entrepreneurs. If they question or doubt the viabilities of the products, the message could be conveyed firmly but nicely. Yes they're rich and yes they have the money, but that doesn't make them all-knowing.
Init puts the businessmen under stress. No one is gonna give the best answers when they’re that stressed it’s like when police are pressuring you for no reason you forget your rights and get arrested illegally. Intimidation is the system’s secret weapon to keep ordinary people held down
If they were established it might help to accelerate the business. Nevertheless I do agree and think they were a bit too rough on these three especially Shaun
Simple answer, accelerated growth of the business. To facilitate expansion sure they could wait years and save the capital to facilitate expansion themselves, getting an investor on board means they can do it alot quicker, and upon expanding the business generate more profit. You obviously dont have much of a grasp on how business works
Not exacly true. They want to see business that is up and running, no need for big profits or amazing amount of sold items - just a proof of concept. That yes - this product exist and people are willing to pay for it. Also - they dont invest just in the business - they invest in the person itself. - someone who looks and sounds like a worthy parther.
James Khan was the best Dragon ever. He just sits there listening to the others arrogant aggression, then comes in with a careful and respectful reply. I'd listen and trust him everyday. He realises the show is about the pitches and not them.

i'm sorry but the plastic sealed wine was one of the best products I've seen! especially at festivals and people wanting to go for a wine in the park after work
It was probably intended to be "don't come here with serious problem that should've been sussed beforehand", and in Theo's mind, the broken hook was an issue which shouldn't have been an issue in the first place. Admittedly, in Theo's defence, it's not great if the product breaks rather easily during the pitch, and playing Devil's advocate here, the designer probably should have made an allowance for a parent pulling on the product, such as, say, if a child gets it stuck down in a gap and a parent tries to pull it up. Bannatyne later talked about Trunki being a pretty major mis-step by the dragons, and it looks to have worked well for him. You'll usually see one or two at the airport in the Summer.
I've had one or two people ask me what colour I use and I tell them; 'Oh, it's not colored, this is my own colour.' And they respond confused and go; 'Oh wow..really? But it's so shiny!' To which I reply; 'Haha, thankyou, I use cream-lotion on the split ends sometimes, and I very occassionally put olive-oil on the roots/my skin." And then we speak about other things again. Unless someone suggests the colour is fake, it's not a horrible thing to hear. It's like someone saying;'What mascara do you use?' to someone with very thick lashes.
The dragons are so rude, calling peoples ideas “worthless” making bets that they won’t succeed. They are so sure of themselves and consistently proven wrong. You can let people down gently if you’re not interested. You don’t have to belittle them
basically the dragons wount invest into the idea, they need an allready established business that has guaranteed sales and profits... might aswell call them loan givers than investors..
Yeah. Those inventors don't need them. They can get the money from a bank. But the tv appearance though! A commercial for their product at a good spot where a lot of people watch it and at this length - that would surely cost 100.000 €.
Tbh i get the impression they just don’t like this guy because of his speech which is a bit unusual. They didn’t warm to hin as a person and couldn’t seem to look beyond him
His speech is exactly like a lad I work with, who is deaf. He is hard of hearing and possibly even registered deaf (you can see his hearing aid). His nervousness; speed of delivery and lack of preparation, when answering questions, all contributed to his failure and yes, investors have to 'warm to' the people they're investing in. They missed a golden opportunity.
Trunki has become and absolutely massive brand, see them everywhere, a household name now! They were so dismissive of him! I'm glad he stood his ground because he clearly knew his stuff and that his product was worth a mint.

It feels a bit rich for the dragons to go on ranting about how it makes them mad that their time is wasted when they're literally getting paid to listen. That's even forgetting the fact they were so aggressively wrong and rude.

Nobody talking about the trunki? a HUGE success, damn even me and my brother used to have them. Seriously, so much fun for little kids to ride around the airport on a fun, colourful trunki- rather than having to walk for ages, or be in a pram, etc.
He inferred by pointing directly at her as he talked about colouring as opposed to dyeing. And he then admitted to his inferrence by apologising for it.

It's a compliment but I can understand why you would be at pains to let someone know it is natural[ly beautiful].

I don't even think this first guy "accused" her of dying her hair. The other Dragon brought it up and was the one who said, "Like her hair?" He just went along with the statement instead of arguing over irrelevant details that are not about the product.
Lol I'm literally using the tangle teezer. I didn't know it was rejected here. He had a bad pitch and didn't even see the potential himself I think. Its fantastic for kids who can't brush themselves and you don't wanna hurt them. Glad he's doing well!
Duncan saying (The Tangle Teezer) "it won't make any money" 😂. It's so cool to watch the dragons seem so confident when they rip these businesses apart and they end up being completely wrong!
It's bizarre watching 4 men and a jilted woman feeling so confident they knew how a hair dressing product would do in a market they had no experience in.
Shaun is incredibly impressive, not in his success in the business (although that is impressive in its own right) but in his humility. He didn't get remotely defensive or off-put from his experience in the den, and instead, took everything of value that they had to say and applied it. We can all learn from him
@@markkealy4417 most of it was rubbish but Peter basically told him how to conduct and present market research to show that his product had value, which was otherwise hard to determine for men with short hair or a woman with straight hair whom he offended. If that curly haired red head woman was there, it might have been a different story. Theo was also helpful in talking about how to talk to distributors. I also noticed how he even lost his lisp for the most part. He clearly has a strong penchant for self improvement
Tangle Teezer is an amazing product.. It looks so simple but it's totally different from a conventional hair brush. Most people I know own at least one. I had no idea it started here.
My son used a trunki as we travelled through huge south East Asian airports when he was 3 years old. We raced from terminal to boarding gates with him sitting on it and us towing him along. Without trunki, we would have missed flights and have had to find other sources of entertainment for our kid. From a dad with a young kid, to the trunki inventor, I’m so happy for you!
I had a trunki when I was a kid and absolutely loved it. It was really good when we moved from the UK to New Zealand when I was 7. I could fit everything I needed for carry on in it and when I got tired of walking I could just sit on it and my dad would pull me.
Absolutely love the patent lady going "Well even if you were to get a patent, it'd be meaningless because many other products may look slightly different while doing the same job". That's true of EVERY SINGLE PATENT in the world isn't it? What's the point in all her endless discussions about patents if that's the case then? LOL
Yea. It's a point that has little value. But it is true that it happens often. Big companies can just copy smaller ones. But that would also mean that every single person that comes to the Dragons can have that exact thing happen to them. So it's worthless to point out.
That's not true. And, in order to get a patent, for example when you upgrade an existing patent, there has to be enough of a material difference to actually change the use of the product.
Deborah:" I dont want to invest in this because there are others like it that do the same job." Right ok thats why there's only 1 car company??? 1 clothing brand???? Right ok sure
Same can be said about literally any product. We don't get all our cheese from the same farm, we don't get all our TVs from the same manufacturer. Let's face it there's hundreds of brands of toilet paper for goodness sake 😂

He actually wasn't the one who pointed it out. One of the other dragons pointed it out, and he reacted to that. Then she got offended.
Pointing out that it wasn't he himself who said that but actually it was one of the other dragons would've only made the situation worse, though, considering the inflated egos of the dragons.
Idk, the way he was brushing the hair at first was slightly terrifying
ops
His presentation was not good at all
He got set up by the guy next to Deborah too! He was the one who pointed at her. But I also thought it was funny how she said "it's not colored!" & everyone doing that "oh ok, right" look 😂
The tangle teaser really is living proof of being told you aren’t good enough to succeed and going ahead and doing it. They treated him awfully for a good idea, that has really gone far. I bet he’s laughing now 🤣 their loss
They don’t put in the money apparently anyway, they offer loans 🤣
Good for him
Also proof to listen to everyone though
lol.. he deserved his criticism. he couldnt back up anything he was saying and sounded so silly and unsure of himself. it may have turned out to be a great idea but he didnt seem competent. hes asking for other peoples money and not having much to say.
To be fair, they all raised valid criticisms.
Tangle Teezer is now worth £200M. Deborah is still sharing her brushes with her horses.
pmsl
where did you get that £200M figure from?
I wouldn't invest in that guy, such poor presentation, is his fault they didn't invest.
@@carpii google lol
Yeah a few sources say between £60-200M - either way more than Debra
I like how they called the first guy “aggressive towards the investors”. He was never aggressive at all, it’s the investors that got their own nickers in a twist about minor things.
He was only aggressively brushing the hair lol

Tangle Teezer was an absolute revelation when I discovered it. My daughter (3 yrs old then) wouldn’t let us brush her hair until this came out. No knots, no pain wet or dry. She 18yrs old now and still only uses this first. My 6 yr old niece presently is the same. Well done to the company 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼.
yes!! i have a similar story, when my mum started using the tangle geezer to brush my hair it changed my life, now i’m 18 myself, and i don’t use anything else
If you hold the hair, between the brush site and the root, and take your time, there won't be any pain.
Same
Same! Honestly, I was very skeptical at first and it took me years to try it out but the product is AMAZING!
This is the brush I always recommend to parents asking for hair care tips for their kids. A normal comb or even a wet brush will rip out their hair if you aren't careful, but the tangle teezer is flexible enough that it's virtually impossible to damage your hair or hurt yourself using it.

Deborah getting offended because she's thinks she can fool us into thinking she doesn't dye her hair 🤣 She used a technicality - SHE doesn't dye her hair because she pays someone else to haha. The ego on these guys 😂
I didn't get her point, the guy clearly meant he's a hair colourist by trade, which is distinct from being a hairdresser and that's fair enough. Maybe Debra told one of those jokes she does sometimes, but you need well over a million in your bank account to actually laugh at it :)
Well DUNCAN doesn't know everything! I seen him on here twice go crawling into these business wanting to make a n investment in their businesses after he turned them down on shark tank ! They both told him NO ! So then he goed outside and tells the world thesez will lose money! POOMPOUS OLD MAN !

Deborah choice to wear that turquoise shirt and striped blazer was awful decision. Because it just doesn't look right!
@@riverdeep399 her hair wouldn't be that colour from just bleaching grey hair, she would've needed colour in it to get to that colour. Toner at the very least, and she also had highlights.

Ya either your hair color is so naturally good that it looks like it’s died or (in deborahs case) he’s so good at his job he knows if your hair is died from across the room

The problem with the dragons is that they're looking for a business that has already been set up and already in profit/has confirmed orders that will allow them to be in profit right away. They almost never take a bigger risk and invest in a product/idea
That's what I used to think Dragon's Den was when I was a child. A show where anyone can go on with a new product/service and get funding. Whenever someone is successful with the dragons, it's because they're basically already making 5 figure profits and are 90% of the way there.
Yeah, and then they complain that the company founder wants his privately invested money back.
That’s just hypocrisy because the dragon’s want the same and (considerably) more for their investment. If that’s such a big deal to the dragons, then negotiate preferential payback, but don’t weasel the founder out of his invested money!
The dragons only make their money back once the founder sells it. And thats the agenda they push through, they push the inventor in selling their business.
It depends. For instance the second guy came in asking for a quarter million, without even having a patent yet. Peter even said “If you came in asking for a lot less, I would’ve invested, but it’s too much”
I agree...they are a greedy lot..

@Horatio D 1) Judging by the success of TT brush, obviously a comb for the horse never made it through as a useful and credible alternative. Or perhaps, no one has yet dared to try it out as an alternative, per DM's suggestion lol
2) You can see Shaun very correctly in my view started to answer this Q by pointing out to technology and how it's made and designed, to which DM interrupted him... That interruption was pretty rude of course, but more importantly an attempt to silence a very relevant point from the entrepreneur in defence of his invention.

Simple answer, accelerated growth of the business. To facilitate expansion sure they could wait years and save the capital to facilitate expansion themselves, getting an investor on board means they can do it alot quicker, and upon expanding the business generate more profit. You obviously dont have much of a grasp on how business works
Not exacly true. They want to see business that is up and running, no need for big profits or amazing amount of sold items - just a proof of concept.

It was probably intended to be "don't come here with serious problem that should've been sussed beforehand", and in Theo's mind, the broken hook was an issue which shouldn't have been an issue in the first place. Admittedly, in Theo's defence, it's not great if the product breaks rather easily during the pitch, and playing Devil's advocate here, the designer probably should have made an allowance for a parent pulling on the product, such as, say, if a child gets it stuck down in a gap and a parent tries to pull it up.

The dragons are so rude, calling peoples ideas “worthless” making bets that they won’t succeed. They are so sure of themselves and consistently proven wrong. You can let people down gently if you’re not interested. You don’t have to belittle them
basically the dragons wount invest into the idea, they need an allready established business that has guaranteed sales and profits... might aswell call them loan givers than investors..
*Want their investment back in one year + keep the stake in business*

True that!
Yeah. Those inventors don't need them. They can get the money from a bank. But the tv appearance though! A commercial for their product at a good spot where a lot of people watch it and at this length - that would surely cost 100.000 €.

Tbh i get the impression they just don’t like this guy because of his speech which is a bit unusual. They didn’t warm to hin as a person and couldn’t seem to look beyond him
I feel like he hasn't really demonstrated the effectiveness of the product during the pitch. He took their advice and cracked on and was successful.
@@barrymaguire5849 and any of the other professionals challenges they put up
His speech is exactly like a lad I work with, who is deaf. He is hard of hearing and possibly even registered deaf (you can see his hearing aid). His nervousness; speed of delivery and lack of preparation, when answering questions, all contributed to his failure and yes, investors have to 'warm to' the people they're investing in. They missed a golden opportunity.
He's deaf. I hope he becomes a future Dragon.
I think he is hearing impaired. I think i saw a hearing aid

Cool to see the guy who created the only brush that will go through my hair. Should have been some curly headed dragons, maybe they wouldn't have effed up on this one.

That tangle teezer is a life changer, I never went back to a conventional hairbrush, got three of them now, one for traveling, one at home, one at my parents house. Makes me so happy knowing that dude is rich now and none of them bitching dragons got any profits because of their own foolishness
I’m sitting on my trunkie brushing my hair with my tangle tweezers while pissed up on disposable wine cups! Laughing my ass off!.
🤣
That cracked me up haha
😂😂
You mean I’m not the only one?
I worked as a courtesy coach driver in Cairns, picking people up from the airport. At a rough estimate I would say that 1 in 5 kids had a trunk in.
It feels a bit rich for the dragons to go on ranting about how it makes them mad that their time is wasted when they're literally getting paid to listen. That's even forgetting the fact they were so aggressively wrong and rude.
Do you realize they get paid peanuts? Its they are there to invest they aren't paid to listen... £15k for 12episodes is nothing for them, considering some of hem are worth half billion - this about this for a seconond before splitting bs.
If you think they are rude, then never start a busines.

Anyone know if these plastic cups are actually recyclable?
Dragon's don't go to festivals / concerts / raves / .... They have never had the expierence of walking you and your m8's drinks trough a croud, only to end up with 70% of the liquid. The moment he combined the word plastic with wineglass it was over for them. But afterall... i wouldn't be able to drink my wine out of something worth less then 50 pounds either
I am a bit worried about the trash...
Nobody talking about the trunki? a HUGE success, damn even me and my brother used to have them. Seriously, so much fun for little kids to ride around the airport on a fun, colourful trunki- rather than having to walk for ages, or be in a pram, etc.
He didn’t acuse her of dying her hair, Duncan did...
He inferred by pointing directly at her as he talked about colouring as opposed to dyeing. And he then admitted to his inferrence by apologising for it. I've seen this before - women who do not dye their hair, especially when they are older, take offence at the assumption they do. It's a compliment but I can understand why you would be at pains to let someone know it is natural[ly beautiful].
It is fooking coloured though so she's just bitter

Lol I'm literally using the tangle teezer. I didn't know it was rejected here. He had a bad pitch and didn't even see the potential himself I think. Its fantastic for kids who can't brush themselves and you don't wanna hurt them. Glad he's doing well!
Duncan saying (The Tangle Teezer) "it won't make any money" 😂. It's so cool to watch the dragons seem so confident when they rip these businesses apart and they end up being completely wrong!
100% should show that the opinion of ANYONE at all should never be taken as fact no matter how high up they are
It's bizarre watching 4 men and a jilted woman feeling so confident they knew how a hair dressing product would do in a market they had no experience in.
Shaun is incredibly impressive, not in his success in the business (although that is impressive in its own right) but in his humility. He didn't get remotely defensive or off-put from his experience in the den, and instead, took everything of value that they had to say and applied it. We can all learn from him
That makes it sound like they said anything of value
And they said he was aggressive towards them 😂
@@markkealy4417 most of it was rubbish but Peter basically told him how to conduct and present market research to show that his product had value, which was otherwise hard to determine for men with short hair or a woman with straight hair whom he offended.

Deborah: Why would I invest in you when I have a perfectly good slave in stable?
My son used a trunki as we travelled through huge south East Asian airports when he was 3 years old. We raced from terminal to boarding gates with him sitting on it and us towing him along. Without trunki, we would have missed flights and have had to find other sources of entertainment for our kid.
From a dad with a young kid, to the trunki inventor, I’m so happy for you!
I love the mindset of the first guy!
They criticised him and he took on that advice and became so successful! We love to see that!! So happy for him!
I had a trunki when I was a kid and absolutely loved it. It was really good when we moved from the UK to New Zealand when I was 7. I could fit everything I needed for carry on in it and when I got tired of walking I could just sit on it and my dad would pull me.
I wish I had a trunkie when I was a kid, or hell, even now. Airport's exhaust the legs.
Absolutely love the patent lady going "Well even if you were to get a patent, it'd be meaningless because many other products may look slightly different while doing the same job". That's true of EVERY SINGLE PATENT in the world isn't it? What's the point in all her endless discussions about patents if that's the case then? LOL
Yea. It's a point that has little value. But it is true that it happens often. Big companies can just copy smaller ones. But that would also mean that every single person that comes to the Dragons can have that exact thing happen to them. So it's worthless to point out.
Well, not all parents are created equal. Some can be designed around, others cannot.
That's not true. And, in order to get a patent, for example when you upgrade an existing patent, there has to be enough of a material difference to actually change the use of the product.
I don’t think the average person will want to use a horse brush deborah
