The dragons always have a meltdown when there’s other investors involved

Deborah to Elon Musk “why should I pay $1000 per Tesla share when people bought 6 years ago at $100?”

They're pissed off about a 10-20x increase in price of a rapidly growing business, yet I'm expected to pay £400k for a house that cost £4k new and has accumulated 50 years of wear and tear.

The entire point of early investors getting a bigger chunk at a lesser price, is because they take a risk higher than later investors.
Later investors come in when the business starts showing potential ,and take a lower risk.

This isn't a new concept at all, the entire series A,B,c funding works exactly like this.
The fact that the Dragons "felt" insulted at being asked to offer more for less, is hilarious

8:10 Deborah is so annoyed by the entrepreneur, she subtly gives him the middle finger.

You don’t invest in a business at previous valuations. It’s like being angry that you can’t invest in Bitcoin for the price it was before it exploded

I couldn’t understand the hostility of two of the dragons. They felt insulted? Really? I don’t think so! It’s business! He gave an excellent pitch and stood his ground! Good for him. The Dragons are there to give applicants a rough time, but I can’t abide their faux outrage and wounded feelings nonsense!

I'm surprised Theo gave away so much of his children's inheritance

No point in Jenny getting involved with dvds and indoor entertainment as she's constantly out

The deal fell through after the show, Zapper is still in buisness though and has a revenue of $2 million annually. Go them

@shadaba.qureshi4367 4 years ago

Debra's logic is crazy (5:10), the value of share depends upon company's balance-sheet as the time goes by... 1 unit share price could be either 1 $ or 100 $ at the start, during raising the same value could be 100 $ or 1 $... the hidden logic is Risk...initial raising is always lucrative for the investor...

The example books are written by the dragons, nice touch.

@jakecooper5855 4 years ago

I'm surprised there was no discussion about how it can scale. The technology is the easy part, the expensive part is the manual labour required to process the incoming stock and outgoing orders. That massive pile on the table only generates 20 pounds of net profit.. That is a lot of work for 20 quid! Maybe they did discuss it and that didn't make the edit

Didn't even notice all the Dragon's autobiographies he bought with him until just now

@Jay-in6dl 4 years ago

It’s mad that the dragons don’t seem to understand that the business has grown since those initial investments.

PLEASE DONT RUIN THE OUTCOMES IN THE TITLE. THANK YOU 🙂

@Jordothecat98 4 years ago

I often think dragons get offended for no reason but those shareholders didn’t put in 50k years ago, it was recent. So I get the irritation at being asked to do 250k for 7.5%
