Seems as amateurish as usual compared to BBC version

Once Chuck is out your idea is done.

Loved the cognikids pitch. Great product

Think that Gavin Duffy is the only remaining dragon from the original series. Strange that they didn't try to bargain between 25% and 30%.

Sorry for the negativity but what another totally crap product

Atlantic Dawn

Your realistically only going to have one colour as no kid 10 or over will be at the colouring books. Colouring in all in one colour isn't much of the art side of things.

Atlantic Dawn

The name might work.

Paddys Day candles would be a better idea.

jmcc

Interesting idea but it is defensible from competition?

Duffy only put on a bid to look good for the telly! Wants 3 n a half times what's offered for a product that is already flying... spoofer!

This Lady looks competent and has a good business

jmcc

Bet Gavin Duffy will make an offer. Remember the suntan product he in which he
invested and advertised himself.

Yeah I know a bit thanks, if u believe in your business n products u are not going to give 3n a half times the equity away that u offered. He knew that when putting in his bid.

Investors almost always see things differently to business owners and those trying to raise investment. Negotiation is a key part of the process.

Wonder why Gavin Duffy didn't make an offer? He seemed to go for that kind of business in past series.

I've seen those baby-gro's before on the continent so it's not a new idea.

What continually annoys me about the Irish Dragons is that they want a product that is already up and running, they're not prepared to help develop it.

Barry OSullivan has a company that works in online business, surely he would be the ideal candidate to go in with the beauty products lady and use his experience to develop her online section. Instead he just says she has no online presence and pulls out.

I just don't get it.

Haven't seen that pitch as was putting the kids to bed, but have to correct you on the no kid 10 or over will be at the colouring books. Lots of kids of all ages enjoy colouring. My own 11 year old spends hours on them, true they're a more grown up difficult & intricate version, but she loves them as do many others of much older ages.

They're generally filled with this type of image (at least my eldest's is):

A lot of the other dragons used to try get up to 50% of the business.

There's a lot more to marketing a product online than just providing hardware and hosting. It still has to be delivered so there's a distribution chain that has to be set up then there's operating in different markets and either going for distributors or having the business doing it itself.

Those Surf Seeds did well, think it was Bobby Kerr who invested in them.

Thought it was Sean Gallagher? There may have been more than one nut product though.
