    Bit of a scammer on their hands here. When someone pre-pitch says "I'm going to be completely transparent and honest" you know very well they're going to try and pull a fast one. You don't have to be a dragon to see through this gentleman's hustle.

      That's actually false. It could be true if you are talking to random stranger. But if someone is doing a PITCH in front of potential INVESTORS - they check videos on how to speak.
      So the expression actually comes from tutorials.

      I think the main thing you have to understand is most of these business are people who have spent years building it up from £100 a month to 200, 500, 1000 and so on. So they’ve put in all the effort and I think when they say they want 50k for 25% it’s not necessarily the value they’re taking into consideration. It’s the fact they’ve done everything and they can’t just give up a massive chunk for nothing because then what’s the point

    These “Dragons” are pretty arrogant and almost act like bullies on some of these episodes. They have the right to decline, but beating down entrepreneurs thats also just striving for a dream, is something else.
    God forbid they should ever lose their money and come back down to earth, they wont fit back in with those attitudes

      Um no, they asked for evidence, and he failed to provide it, then they threw him out. They didn't "all change" at all.
