- Опубліковано 6 лют 2022
- Jess Ratcliffe has spotted an opportunity in the gaming market, she's pitching 'GaBoom'. It's an online user-to-user video game exchange. Jess developed this concept when she was 15. With only her pocket money to invest, the idea has been on hold until now. Will she be able to convince the Dragons to play along? Jess is seeking an investment of £60,000 in exchange for 11% of her business.
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.

She did this while in university, I just sit here all day watching Dragons Den.
Yeah, but you're successful at it.
😁
😂
@@johnsmithe4656 🤣🤣
She left university. I hope she took Duncan's advice and went back.
I think she's incredibly brave to do what she did at such a young age. Life is about learning from lessons
Even if she’d gotten investment, this business wouldn’t have had much chance. Gaming’s going more and more digital by the day. I would’ve definitely used it myself, but even when this was pitched over a decade ago, this would’ve been an ever-shrinking market.
It's also logistically easier to just sell the game you don't want on eBay or a second hand shop like CEX.
Companies like G2A manage just fine by selling digital keys
Discs are obsolete. This isn't 2010
@@PhilosophyofElivagar but those keys aren’t second hand, so its a different principle really.
@@PhilosophyofElivagar Selling digital keys is a lot different than selling used physical copies of games.
I wasn't this good at 20! Props to her! Good business idea for the time too! This could have been big given the meetings with IGN and Gamespot. That's a really good start.
she was so good. every single figure was on point and to create something like this at 20 while in university is very impressive

Funny how serious the dragons are in the older episodes. In the latest season, they're cracking jokes left right and centre
Great pitch , and praises to Peter spotting a great employee.
The only way I can tell how old these episodes are is by looking at Deborah’s hairstyle
Hahaha same!
Its more accurate if you just count her wrinkles
I'm something of a dragons den video watcher myself.
Was that before you gave Spiderman hands?
Forty thousand years of evolution and we've barely even tapped the vastness of Dragons den upload potential.
Pizza time!
You will get your Dragons den when you fix this damn door!
I was an avid watcher especially at the beginning of the pandemic but all of the best clips have been uploaded and so many are now re uploads.
My only criticism of these DD episodes is they seldom show the post Den interviews which I always find very interesting.
This was previously uploaded on the 3rd Jan but they've deleted and re-uploaded it now for some reason! Surely not running out of content?
Background audio was at normal levels in the last upload, so they re-uploaded it and went with their more standard practice of cranking the background audio up so that you can barely even hear the talking.
OMG no
Duncan gave her a good advice of finishing her education first before starting a business full time
He also said she'd have 80 to 100 years left working in business...
@L P You should go back to school first and learn grammar.
But of course get a degree in a good field like finance, computing etc, not art / history.
i think that was the worst advice ever given,
Go to college if youre really passionate. If not then youre just wasting your time.
Gonna start paying my bills in admiration
Seems she has what it will takes, look forward to seeing her again
Duncan gave her the best advice.
She was great considering she was only 20 at the time
When was this episode aired?
@@YudA295 I assume 2010
So she is 30 now and I hope that she is either running another business or is one of Peter's executives!
She's currently a product manager at Big Health
She probably even older than that to be fair
@@Mogamishu your mom sure isn't
@@gideonMorrison HAHAHHAHAHAHAAHHAHA im crying
@@ARROWCR154 are you crying because you have no money for food and you are still living in your mom's basement?
9:06 Yes Theo, Amazon suffered so badly with that 😂
peter jones trying to jingle his hotel room keys at the end to her! ugh!
He's chatting her up
She's known them for 10 minutes but has a "20 year admiration" for them lol.
When I was 20 I was living in my overdraft due to splurging all my measly income on parties every weekend and borrowing money for mid week pub sessions in the meantime. This lady makes me feel bad haha but absolute respect to her for this!
Hope everyone is enjoying lunch
Here for food and dragons den, anyone else?
🥓 🍳 ☕️ 👌🏻
@@k_8231 you know the drill!
Of course.
Great pitch. She open with her background, following up with market figures.
This is genius it's like getting paid to play video games for free to make sure their condition is good.
Peter - If you want a job send me an email.
Girl - wow thank you that's great!
Peter - because we need a cleaner for the Web dev office. (Drops the mic)
Well done good for you!
Who else has watched every episode on here 💯💥💥💥💥💥
I wonder if she ever sent that email!
Respect to Peter Jones for that!
when the max price of games was £80 and we're edging towards that for the standard editions today :')
I’ve seen this before. She answered their questions with a plum.
wow, amazing entrepreneur, wish her lots of success
'20 Year Old Receives Admiration from All Five Dragons Dragons’ Den' but not one admired her enough to invest
Aww bless her
Fantastic advice from Duncan at the end , hope she heeds him .
The clearest pitch well done.
I love James .
So smart and elegant .
Issue with this is more and more people are downloading games rather than the physical copy. Some consoles are digital downloading only too.
Damn it the website doesnt work
Wow she is great!
The business idea would work better if the seller ships and the buyer inspects the product. The buyer pays upon placing the order and the company holds the money until the buyer has received and inspected the game.
Does anyone know if this project worked???
What year this was ? Before cloud ?
When was this recorded?
2011/12
@@markswift3084 thanks mate 👍
Gosh she's bare old now
WAIT SO DID SHE EVER EMAIL PETER?
You haven't ran out of clips have you? 😳
Wow she was great ...Her idea is great.
Ahh the videoshop-era.
I would say don't go back to university but look at another idea. She's clearly got that "special something", and university will only quash that out or mould her into another lemming. This is coming from someone who went to university, and very much regrets it. I don't think Duncan would be where he is today if he had gone down that route either.
Peter: when you want work in the online space,send me an email.
Jess: ok
3 years later....
Peter: So much damn spam! (Delete delete delete)
This program is addictive mweee...
This would’ve been a good idea when physical games are more popular Now PlayStation and Xbox have monthly fees for like 5-$7 you get access to eventually every game
She was very bright.
Did her business pull through?
Game companies look at this in 2022 and hate it
Hope she did well.
You think after all this time Rory is still out there catching his seaweed?
He might have taken a wrong turn which is why we need some flow signals.
He'll be hunting seaweed until the day he dies
If this launched in late 2000s it could have worked
Yh but now they'd have a declining market
website doesnt work, i put in mario and tony hawk and it came up 404 error.
Okay!
Just brilliant and beautiful
Do you think she is shaved?
It's a below-average idea and wasn't anything new.
@@ouroborostechnologies696 yeah but she had the cojones to get up there and present her idea. And she was so impressive that Peter offered her a job. That has only happened three or four times and the Den...so she is brilliant, maybe not the idea products so much
All I heard from Jess was “okay!”,
Simple solution is create profiles with reviews for users.. same thing happens with Facebook marketplace.. some people get scammed but not if you do business with good sellers
Royal Holloway reppin’
She is amazing, what a sweet girl
Only 20 but speaks like an older woman..very impressive.
She was good, would be nice ti see where she is now................im sure she will be very successful.
the website looks very old style
Wise advice from Duncan. The website is still up but not functional lol
It closed in 2012 10 years ago this is an old episode
Back when I had a NES and SNES, a local shop offered this game swap service. They had games ranked by desirability, and a fee for swapping another game for those games.
It started off quite well, with a few nice titles, but went downhill. And didn't last. Nobody traded down, so the range of games available got continually worse.
Yes she's good
Steam and online only knocks the door
currently she is on a mission to inspire ambitious amateurs to achieve their golf goals...
Why did she abandon the business?
I hear the website is still up but non-functional.
It's useless nowadays, nearly everyone downloads games.
Anyone having lunch watching this lol
No, just you.
@@SpyroTek harsh..........but true
She is so beautiful.
How many times you guys gonna reupload videos proper fans have already seen
"proper fans" lmao 😂 what an absurd statement.
Saying to this girl go back university was the worst thing that could have bin said to her. Crushed her dreams firstly and secondly probably crushed her entrepreneurship. She will win regardless. This same website needs to be integrated in the crypto space. Would boom
This pitch is from 10 years ago. The site went bust.
The site went bust a decade ago and her going back to uni and finishing her degree would’ve been the smartest thing she could’ve ever done
Anyone else watching on their lunch?
Probably not
Possibly
The website doesn't work anymore so I assume the business plan wasn't a success
She went back to uni duh
nothing gets past you
I'm surprised IGN and Gamestop have that much pull. They're hardly reputable these days.
How haven't they heard of IGN or gamestop?
they dont have a time machine
Because they are old and don't play video games.
@@TheFameWiki So what? they should of at least heard of top companies in an enormous market.
@@Casey-Jones They don't need one dude
Nah this was literally uploaded not long ago at all come on
girl says she wants to become an entrepreneur, peter offers her a job instead...GOODNESS SAKE...let the girl get her dreams
Got a couplea slides here, a non working website that I probably got fleeced for while having developed, gimme 60 grand to get my flawed obsolete business idea off the ground.
404 if you try to access a search on the site. 🙏🏿🙏
Duncan is rich enough to go back to university at any time lol.
Yeah, but no amount of money can buy youth, sadly. Going to uni at the age most people do is a wonderful experience.
Some people are embarrassed to study with people a fraction of their age - especially if they are famous.
@@ahmedzakikhan7639 If you're rich enough you can just pay for private tutorage?
@@gamewithadam7235 idk about that
Anyone else run out of episodes
might just be the 2020 of it all, but did they always sit that close together?
They do seem abnormally close!
They're fire breathing dragons Ian, 2020 doesn't exist in mythology.
@@politismos3929 you have seen the current & previously series right?
@@ianlister7333 Fictionally speaking, yes.
Sus
I really wi$h could get my prototype product on dragons den! Been building this master piece in my garden shed / workshop & its neally finished help someone could turn this into a million pound business here seriously!
OK
She now has a rare blood disorder, but a very expensive NHS drug now allows her to live normally.
2:40 - she makes more money when people pay by credit card (rather than debit)?? 🤔
Yeah, she got that wrong. She almost managed to catch the error, but still ended up making it. Pity, good pitch otherwise.
SEND PETER THAT EMAIL.
I can just imagine Duncan in his sailor suit piping Peter and James aboard the good ship Meaden whilst Theo looks on from the deck of the good ship popadopolis moored adjacent 😅
Seek mental care
Ok
Deborah has lured this woman to her house and placed her in a STS
What is an sts?
