Entrepreneur's Slammed With 'Facts' By Peter Over Sofa Revolution Idea | Dragons' Den

- Опубліковано 22 сер 2024
- Tracie Herrtage is asking for a £54,000 investment in return for a 30% equity stake in 'Le Beanok'. Le Beanok combines the unique experience of the weightlessness of a hammock with the comfort of a beanbag/bed but Peter isn't interested in the off-putting retail price.
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.

Students? €995?
As a student, I once bought a packet of bin bags and sellotape because blinds were too expensive.
At least you bought cellotape I had to pinch drawing pins from the uni notice board
@@kingfisher9072 LOL
I stole toilet roll from my uni if it there was a spare one... I don't now, but I only had £250 to last for 3 months. I was completely desperate.
Event Horizon I did that with toast
£995*
€995 is about £834, still a crazy amount though, especially for students
Also, nice idea with the bin bags and tape
Back when I was a student, I totally had 1000 dollars to spend on a hammock. Lmfao.
It's actually British Pounds which is roughly $1,376 USD.
Me too... until i got drunk 🤣😂
Yeah I never would have had the money for that. BUT, I did end up staying with two separate friends who had just bought a hammock and strung it up to their ceiling.
They'd have never spent more money than they did on one though.
Lol.
Did you have parents? This is def a Christmas present idea hahaha
my first year at college, I bartered three packet noodles for a pot to boil water for the noodles.
that sums up my financial state.
Holy crap , I would have lent you the pit for one packet of noodles and for that reason I am out 😂
That is one hell of a deal tbh. Noodles cost less than 1 pound haha
'Tracey's having the last laugh' He says whilst Duncans hysterically laughing in the background.
Well Duncan had the last laugh actually considering the deal never went through.
Students would never buy this product, and neither would anyone replace a sofa with that thing. She may sell to those with big houses here and abroad who have plenty of space and like the quirkiness of it, but the market is very limited and she certainly won’t retire early with this business.
Duncan's*
Pretty sure he's laughing because the entrepreneur got screwed. I can totally see the investor's easy profit.
No body would ever buy this daft product not even rich people there are so many other quirky sofas which look better than this hideous beanik whatever you call it. She ain’t gonna be successful with this business she should’ve just gone back to her day job
I seriously doubt Tracey will have the last laugh. 😄
Imagine them after 6 months. White canvas??? They will look like giant filthy overpriced disposable nappies hanging from the roof.
😂😂😂
This idea is a total disaster.
empty emptiness - and the gigantic holes in the ceiling!!! 😮
You say that, but unlike most sofas, you could very easily take the covers off and put them in the washing machine. You could also buy new covers and change the colour... not so easy with a settee.
With a bit of work, this product will do fine. The biggest issue, which isn't product related will be the safety aspect when hanging it up. It has very specific requirements. This will be on the buyer though, not her so long as she covers legal issues with warnings and disclaimers.
Price point shouldn't be pitched against sofas though, because they only cost so much because they are usually made in multiple countries and have to be shipped around on containers during the construction process. Very expensive!
If made in a single country, they'd be way more environmentally friendly.
It isn't a million dollar product, but it'll do fine. The key thing would be to suspend it on 2 chains rather than 4... smaller imprint, more likely to fit in most rooms with strong enough beams. Disaster it isn't. Hope she has a bit of luck. Someone with a good business head involved can make a world of difference.
I've worked in furniture... people are weird and buy almost anything. Something different sells, you might be suprised.
@Tai Chi Tube i saw websites but couldnt tell how successful its been.
Nice single whip hand by the way.
Bought one 15 years ago, still stuck in it. If anyone can help me down that'd be great.
I don't know if it's still worth it after such a long time, your muscles are probably completely gone by now
🤣🤣🤣
Mad lad
hilarious!!!
You have just made me cry with laughter, bloody brilliant comment, fantastic x
"Why would a student buy this?"
"Why wouldn't they?!"
"You're right, I'm going to make you an offer"
Why wouldn’t they, indeed? Students are wealthy.
@@MrJamberee except that they're broke
"Why wouldn't they" must be the the most heard comeback on this show, makes me cringe every time Haha
@@TheNoobPube except that was sarcasm
For the couple who are REALLY into BDSM in the living room but want to explain away those hooks in the ceiling when people come over.
Hahaha
Hahahahaha
Probably a better marketing direction lol
You've given this some thought.
Man I haven't laughed this much in my life😂😂😂😂
She should sell these to Zoos, it's the kind of things Orangutans would love lazing about on.
Jedi Mantis touché. Zoos should all be closed tho
Not very many zoo's around though so the marketplace would be tiny.
@@vegantina6565 So you can read animal minds and know that no animal could ever appreciate not having to worry about predators or finding food?
Jedi Mantis they use firefighter hoses to make hammocks for them - the orangutans would tear those to pieces in minutes unless they went with much sturdier materials
@@DocBree13 but they'd have fun doing it.
An advantage of sofas is that you don't have to cause permanent damage to your building's structure each time you want to move the furniture around or change room layout. Her design is also ugly, labour-intensive, spacially inefficient, impractical, and expensive so there's that too.
So basically, it's a terrible product. Yeah, I completely agree.
Another advantage of a sofa is they're often not one thousand pounds, no idea where she gets the idea they're double that. I can go online and get a second hand one in good condition for 200 max
But the vacuuming would definitely be worth it 😂
And for that reason Jenny is out!
We know dear.
the lady is on some thing strong.
Peter said exactly what I was thinking. Renting, can't screw holes in the walls and would go for a second hand couch instead of that.
i think a big disadvantage that i haven't heard mentioned is the social aspect. when someone comes over to hang out and we sit on the couch we're actually able to look at each other, eat together or drink a glass of wine. in this product, you're just able to full-on lounge, like it's way too intimate and awkward for people you're not intimate with
Really good point, I can imagine lounging in one with my wife or maybe my brother but I wouldn’t feel comfortable being that close to most people so it would quickly turn into a one seater.
Trueeee
Not to mention, you have to face one way. You can easily rearrange a sofa, you can't do anything with this!
*_Hangout._* Literally.
I just had a visual of someone casually coming around for a coffee, cut to the both of lolling around in a hammock together looking incredibly awkward 😅
Crazed lady with giant bean bag runs out of breath trying get an investment.
This show is just so tacky in the way they start the presentations. They make these entrepreneurs lug their crap up the stairs, looking like they are setting up a garage sale.
You should apply for a job with 'The Daily Mail' with your apparent aptitude for spin. Crazed and running out of breath? She was merely nervous -- both natural and common under the circumstances. Afterwards, her relaxation and poise clearly come back to the fore. "Trying to get an investment" implies a negative outcome, which wasn't the case. Actually the majority of dragons thought it was a good idea (3 out of 5).

Her website has a bad mobile design but has that and at the bottom it says 2020, which a lot of other websites i searched for from the show doesnt bother updating their website. Like that foldable bottle that people say "they mocked it but sold 100k bottles in 2 years" and changed its name to Ohyo(you can still buy them on Amazon) but i am not sure if anyone takes care of the website because it has 2013 in the page

Did she just say: "I'd like to get it off the ground...."

Objectively a hilarious sentence
This was before Duncan's extremely traumatic divorce. The divorce without the pre-nup.

She even argued with dragons when they were agreeing with her! I'd bet you the price of one of her bean bags that she's divorced.

True for most stuff that appears on here tbh
No wonder. She retained only 51%, which means that she could not dilute herself for additional investors. She doomed her business when she accepted an offer for a crazy, almost unbelievable share giveway.

Seriously, that's putting it too mildly. I thought they are perpetually broke!!! At least the normal ones are.

Wow.. shocked that she got an offer. She is “uninvestable” as a person. She is super confrontational. Her pitch was all over the place and made no sense. She kept contradicting herself. She didn’t even say how much equity she was going to give for the investment until right at the end.
She has to be one of the most unpleasant, abrasive people to go into the den. She’s not even selling anything worth having, just a ropey old bag hanging from the ceiling

"Targeting STUDENTS!"
It's £1000 for about £100 worth of materials they could get themselves.
A student isn't going to spend that sort of money on furniture, maybe £100-200 on something cheap or second hand. Not to mention it looks utterly hideous, will be a nightmare to clean, and can potentially cause damage, something you do not want at the best of times, let alone when renting.
Right?? It certainly doesn't look like a thousand pound piece of furniture, it looks quite cheap, if I'm being honest. And how do you lie down in one without falling right out? You can't even relax in it, cuz you have to constantly work your leg muscles to stop from wobbling all over. And on top of all that, you can't even move the thing! What if you wanted to redo the layout of the room? You can't, not without going through all that effort of drilling even more holes in the ceiling.
£100 worth of materials is VERY generous, you can bulk buy chain and canvas very cheap, especially as the chain doesn't have to be particularly high quality as they're bearing quite a small load for the size of such chains.
When I was student, I would only dream about spending 200 on furnitures. I reached out to relatives for old furnitures they didn't want/need and I was surprised how much nice stuff I got from just asking around, and how happy they were that someone would actually need em.
Shhhhhhhhhh....................you can t say that.
She is a business person/ woman what ever the latest expression is .
You have to politely look the other way, remember??
Don't forget that no landlord, especially not a student landlord would let them drill holes in the ceiling to install it
She's the one stuck on the notion of a "3 piece suite". There are many sofa combinations and sizes.
This product is trash - can't even be moved around the room, looks uncomfortable, chains from the ceiling, awkward installation.
Bafflingly, she tried to market this as a gaming chair and a sofa for special needs. Lady, I'm not special needs and even I can't use that thing. It looks miserable to clamber in and out of, and you can't even have a coffee table with it!
Can you imagine trying to host company with those things? "Welcome everyone! Please, have a seat. Oh it's easy to get in, here, you just swing your leg over and...yes, that's it, now the other one...oh, be careful! Are you hurt? Here, let me help...hold on, stop kicking...ok, now you gotta sort of twist your body the other way...no no, the OTHER way....give me your foot, you're a bit tangled...no, your butt's supposed to be facing the other direction...now just put your arm over that side and pull yourself up...ah! There we go. Comfy, right? By the way, I hope you all ate and drank before coming over, cuz there isn't really any way to hold a cup or set a plate down in here. Now, isn't this fun?"
@@WobblesandBeanany gamer worth their salt would NEVER want these things. When the game gets serious you can’t get up and do the “focused” pose (if you know you know). Relaxing doesn’t always lend well to tough challenges in gaming.

That'll be £1000 cheers?
I know a lot of people that live in warehouses, and we've made these for 50 quid that look much better. Her attitude stinks.
Bean bags are all one needs :>
How many's a lot?
@@sammmm87 on estimate, maybe about 100. I used to live on in a warehouse district with about 15 homes on the strip. In mine alone I lived with 29 other people, and that was just my church, so yeah. A fair few.. And as you can imagine in that sort of environment, people move to other warehouses and you go and visit, etc etc. I've peobably seen hanging bean bags over 15 times for a fraction of the price is all I was saying.
@@Anti_everything_and_everyone Well if you've seen so many maybe it's a better idea that it seems
£1000 for a bean bag?? is it made of unicorn leather???
Yes, and stuffed with pegasus down feathers.
She took a long time to get to “yes.” Should not have taken more than a nanosecond.
Duncan’s face says more than peter did 😂
Is this the worst pitch that has managed to get backing?
It didn't get backing like a lot of other businesses. Company is dissolved, website still up and selling em at 350 instead of 995

@@pauljones4763 Neighbour: Excuse me my dear, I've just popped down for a cuppa.
Funny how the only dragon who invested also went bankrupt because of a business that failed.
That Peter Jones then bought..
With that attitude I expected her to say:"What do you mean you're not investing? Can I speak to your manager."
Getting on and off would be difficult. Dangerous for children. You couldn’t see anything much laying in a bean bag facing the ceiling. It would be a nightmare trying to have a snack or a drink on it because of reaching a table . Who would attach it to the joists. Etc etc bThere is was no market for it at all.
And if anyone ever actually bought one, imagine the personal injury lawsuits when people start dropping out of these things
Debbie Sunlight actually there is a market for this. this item is obviously a resort & luxury product not a diy project. 8 out of 10 luxury resorts ive visited or even those i’ve just seen pictures of have some sort of hanging bedframe / sofa / hammock contraption. it would also fit into an avant garde / minimalist luxury home where it hangs in a corner as a statement piece not really to sit on. however i have to say seeing that she isnt a known designer 1000£ is quite a bit for this design. 300-400£ would probably be more reasonable. if she was famous at 1000£ people would buy it. if she isnt know then for 1000£ it would need to come with a frame, or a different design that incorporates a frame, either in metal or wood.

She should sell them for a 10th of the price, especially considering nothing about that is protected by IP laws (nor is even original) and uses materials and labour about 1/50th the £995 ticket price.

I thought she was carrying a giant down comforter upstairs when it started lol
What pitchers often don't understand is that they don't need to worry about having the money to be able to fulfill a big order; if she gets an order signed the banks will throw money at her. She doesn't need a dragon, she just needs to make a sale.
We had an old table we found by a skip and brown taped a mattress to it. That was our sofa when we were students.
I quite like the concept. They look like they'd be very cosy and comfortable to sit in.
My two main reservations would be that once they're in place, they're not easily moved. One of the advantages of a sofa is that it's easy to rearrange them if you want a change. Not so easy to do, when moving a Le Beanok requires you to dismantle the attachments, fill in the holes in the ceiling and drill new holes.
My second issue is the aesthetic of the chains. They look a bit too S&M. I see those chains and half expect to see Pinhead swinging in the Le Beanok attached to them.
@Cee Dub619cameraman True, true. (Chain) swings and roundabouts.
I swear to God this has to be the best Dragons Den one iv ever seen :)) Amazing.. How unexpected was that..

I couldn't imagine my 74 year old Mom and 93 year old uncle coming over and trying to sit on this and trying to get get off them.
'And tonights main headlines'
Health & Safety officials in Leicester are investigating how 3 students were seriously injured by a falling ceiling in their student residence.
Duncans smile made me laugh 9:35-9:39
Rachel provided great amusement for the other dragons - their smirks almost hid their mirth when Rachel said she'd make her an offer and stated she likes Tracie..... why?....on both counts 🤣🤣Duncan's reaction "You mad?" Love Duncan
Women sticking together
9:57 "I need help"...never a truer word spoken.
I can not believe this company is still up and running, they're £450 now too
Agree with Peter Jones.... daft idea... she also said she wanted 54,000 but didn’t say how much equity...

she did. 30%
Wouldn't use this as a sofa in the living room. Maybe for something to lounge in in my bedroom but definitely not as a sofa 🤷
To "lounge" in 😏
@@DarkChasmGamers I mean you could only "lounge" in it. I mean how would you sit three people on it to watch TV? All you could do is lie on them I reckon.
@@littleboots9800 well if it's in your bedroom like they said then maybe there's more you can do 😏
@@DarkChasmGamers it looks like it would be a terrible sex swing too.
Imagine climbing in and out of that thing every time you want to sit down for a minute? Ridiculous.
The logistics of tapping into a beam (+ the costs) & making sure the damn thing hangs correctly & doesn’t fall down?! give me a sofa any day 😂
Jenny is sitting in one swinging away from the ceiling pondering all those deals she passed on...
54 grand straight down the pan .
The investment was never made. According to the Mail Online (OK, not the best source but...), Le Beanock Woman wanted to change the terms and Rachel pulled out.
