BBC Dragons Den Ben Pearson the owner and found of big clothing for you, who is known for having Autism and several other disabilities smashed it! Under intense grilling from the Dragons, he never missed a beat….The Dragons Love him and Steven Barlett said it was one of the best pitches he had ever heard in the Den! From homeless to pitching his business to the Dragons and winning an investment...
Insolvent and wrapping up...I doubt Tuka would have invested after doing due diligence. New operating company by an old director.
Absolute scammer, should be arrested for the practices he does now, no returns to refunds, disgusting.
He’s a thief and a scammer.
What do you mean😱
@@Nope-NotToday He was accepting returns but not reimbursing the money. Did it to numerous people.
@@warbseven8613 I would never had thought he would be like this. That's disgusting
Top man
Guys, for anyone writing good stuff about his company I gotta disappoint you. His company is just a big scam. People are ordering and getting their stuff after months or returning stuff and never getting a refund even after months while ignoring all the mails and calls. If I could spit in their face I would. I've been waiting 2 weeks and the order hasen't even been shipped yet.
Absolutely right, he’s stealing customer’s money.
You are correct, obviously went back to he 'offending' days, hope the dragon knows we're his money is going.
Then Touker cant be with him more, right?
Im absolutly shocked to hear he is a scammer. Then i hope Touker is not a part of it, anymore
@@Nope-NotToday Turns out he never went with him. Smart cookie Touker.
Considering that this is probably one of the best and confident pitches I have ever seen across the Canadian, Aussie, US , UK and Indian versions of the show, I was very surprised to see him getting only 1 offer. At some point you have to trust your instincts on the character and grit of a person rather than financial metrics, every time, and the sharks failed to do that, having acknowledged and admired Ben as a person.
Absolutely loved Ben ! what a role model for anybody wanting inspiration ! Total respect my friend total respect.
Wow what an amazing guy I’m inspired and I hope he’s doin well 👍
He's a thief, keeping money when goods are returned.
They really are a bunch of thieves and con artists...zero risk mindset for max gain....the guy is screaming for help and they rip him off 35% gave him a fully secured loan against stock...this is why UK is dying.
No UK is dying cause you elect people that bring in thousands and thousands of parasites every day across your border.. You have been invaded and you should be in a state of emergency, but you aint.
@@hoenircanute being shite and blaming the migrants for it - here we go again 😂😂😂😂😂 clown
Blame those ppl you elect, not the migrants! Sure ppl come here, they are escaping a shitty poor existance to live a better future. You'd probably do the exact same thing! But the real problem isn't them, it's the rich who fucking rip us off and steal our money! And they laugh at us on the TV. Direct your rage at the bigger crooks here mate! You know i'm right!@@hoenircanute
Lol, you've clearly never run or invested in a business in your life.l, it's almost laughable what you have said as it proves you not a single ounce of experience or knowledge in business/investing. That's why you're a viewer and they're sitting in their chairs mate. You'll never be there with this attitude. Business and investing isn't a game it's serious shit and either you're a big boy or you won't survive.
@@hoenircanuteThe fact you don't even live here yet think you're qualified to speak on our immigration is fucking hilarious. Mong.
Toukers face at the end was like..'omg what have i done??!!!' 😅😅😅
he did a guy whos had to battle all his life a SOLID! Probably the most decent thing i've seen a Dragon do yet
He sounds like Tom Hardy
My therapist told us that there is diffability - different ability. I'm an autistic author - the highest form of entrepreneurship.
That man is literally the coolest looking mf to ever exist… he would play such an awesome Villain
Well done Ben! With Tucca's backing I hope that your business is a success and continues to do so for many more years to come.
What an amazing young man... I hope he is doing well.
He should have bartered him down a bit, I feel he got ripped off without even realizing it.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
The way he snapped his hand off and didn’t barter was simply because he knew exactly how much equity he wanted to give away and clearly it was more than 10%… he would’ve probably gone to 40
Head and shoulders above any other pitch I’ve seen and I’ve been watching Dragons Den since Noggin the Nog!
Well done good luck to him.😊😊😊
Brilliant, really happy for him. Faiplay Tucca for investing.
Well done!!!!!
Inspiring well done!!!
Well done so happy for you
Well done! 👏 It’s interesting that after watching this, I have gained respect for Peter Jones. His questions were specific and the fact that he mentioned “I know you like honesty” made me realise that he has some knowledge about autism and understanding of challenges autistic people face when communicating with neurotypicals.
Inspiring
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Sarah Davies is so beautiful...
Isn’t she great!
@@jimmydonnycosgrove2639 Yup. And such a sweetheart.
She really is, amazing smile
@BLMeredith87 p0000po0p0ppp000p00p00p9p8o888
Touker you great Muppet. That backfired old son didnt it.
What do you mean, why did it back fire, Toukers got over a third of a profitable business?
Having seen many episodes I believe the Dragons have a weakness for disabilities
I don’t think so somehow maybe they have to show a little bit more patience towards the entrepreneur but a business is still a business you don’t want to lose an investment.
Having a child one the spectrum, This story really touched my heart & soul.❤
That blonde red dressed woman really impressed me; with that dress code and make up i would never believe she could utter such reason and logic. Ye, my fault; i know. Ill be better.
what are you talking about and how is this relevant
So inspiring, first DD I’ve sat fingers crossed for an investment
TOUKER FACE AT THE END, HE WAS NOT EXPECTING A YES!
true.. 🤣🤣 he thought it would automatically be rejected.. his money is on the chopping board, that’s why he didn’t fist bump sarah 🤣🤣
He did not look happy did he at the end.
I’m autistic. This is the best representation of our kind ❤
I’m an autistic adult never use it as an excuse or a reason not to do something and I cringe at “our kind”.
Okay. That's one interpretation. Thanks for the note. Also, ironically autistic of you to be so literal, as if I was delineating human kind and people who are autistic. And out of interest, what has excuse or reason got to do with my comment? Relax :)@@jonathanshaw8123
Top Man Ben.
Nice to see his making his "disability" a major feature of his pitch!
Good luck Ben, you deserve it !!
Very polite young man n one of the best pitch on this show wishing him all the best
He earned that trust money before and after he got it. For me this highlights why inheritance is so much better being released when the person is older rather than straight away. Ben went through the hard yards that made him humble but also developed him and gave him drive. He was able to make the most of the money if he got it when was younger it very well may have made his problems worse.
This is good, but calling this the best pitch ever on the show is nonsense. It's not even top3 and showcases a lack of knowledge about other Dragon's Den episodes from your part. And then, I noticed that this video was published by you and not the official Dragons' Den or BBC YT channels. That makes much more sense as the reason for that overly confident title. I mean, who other than yourself is going to call this the best pitch ever on the show?
There’s no need to be so savage to somebody who is extremely inspiring and refreshingly straight & honest with the Dragons. The balance sheet was, of course, of great concern; however he remained confident, trustworthy and solid when it came to answering the questions. Let the company rejoice and enjoy the moment. Well done - may you go from strength to strength.
@@brunaskarting116 I would never argue against this being a good human being and who has achieved something that not many do. That is undeniable. I am just completely against what the title represents. As I find it not only clickbait, (which I don't really mind too much, I usually just dislike the video and keep doing what I'm doing) but also the sense of superiority and arrogance that somebody must have to make such a statement after a tv show that has been active for shy of 20 years. And to be clear I am not talking about balance sheet or any of that. I am purely talking about his whole pitch, how he presented the company when he got the opportunity to have all those 5 important people shut up and listen to him for x amount of time.
I'm glad he got left that money, some people really deserve it 🙂
Top company and very well done.
Of Course, Katy Gets Trolled By those who are jealous of her spirit of making a life for herself and the Kids, even when she reaches rot bottom she still climbs right back up got to admire that, and well done Ben with your achievements my daughter is autistic and was not diagnosed until she was an adult had no help growing up
what a great guy !
Peter Levy♡
Brilliant entrepreneur!
'promosm'
Ive seen the dragons fight over much lesser deals by people with zero correct numbers and stories that don't come close to his - but this eloquent hardworking dude is somehow not investable for 4 of them? 🙄 I don't buy it. feels like it was decided to be Touker's deal from the beginning.
Upstanding guy and Smart,Articulate and it’s possible They tried to bury me but they didn't know i was seed!!! 😤peace turn your woes into wows your wounds into Wisdom your pain into power!! Smash it and don't let anyone dull your sparkle peace🕊
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
What a guy. Truly inspirational.
Being a father of autistic kids and having a lots of challenges worries for my kid future, This young man journey is inspiring me and give me hope. Well done 👌🙏
How was he homless if had alot money inherited
Your comment makes no sense...homeless son for example still inherits from wealthy father...inheritance is not a choice.
@@doctorsocrates4413 he went to a junvenial place too. Somthing of his story dont make sense just like his stock figures
sob story, pr
His trust fund wasn’t released to him until he become of age and he said there was a gap in the care system so for example I imagine he became homeless between 16 and 18 for him to end up in young offenders. Some trust funds are released at 18 and others at 21 depending on what way things are left so that’s probably how he ended up in the vulnerable position before he was able to have access to the money
