I love how they showed how those particular businesses are or were doing. Oh, nope, they missed that part.
Init why not tell us
Yer would of made a lot better video -_-
Pointless having the video unless we have the complete thing, from start to finish, or is it that something has gone drastically wrong and investments pulled?

Duncan: Technology is not my area but I'll invest in a wand
This was wand deal he couldn't cast away.
Tecno'ogee is no'h ma'h a'ea bo'h oill invest in a wond*
@@1yearago491 you should be the narrator.
The wand company went on to do very well. It took them much longer to get to 1.2 million than they predicted. Currently they are turning over 1.5 million. So Duncan did ok.
That wand was pure magic to him. And quite magical it was for him indeed.
when Peter says: "If you were pitching for a job I'd offer you a job... "
I know what the guy was thinking.. even if he didn't say it...
"If I was looking for a job, I'd go with Philips or Sony, or Samsung" :D
then why did i exce[t the job offer
@@bensmith5581 Because the job offer came with massive equity in the new product line he'd be in control of.
Karuma Innovations is a Singapore based company but is no longer selling the Tablet PC's pitched in the den. The investment never went through and Karuma has since developed into a consultancy business.
Where did you find this information?
You know you’re good when all dragons stand up to shake your hand after a sealed deal.
I respect all their achievements and acumen but I'll never understand why so many stroll in there like the Grand old Duke of York saying ''PaTenT'' when it's really 'Patent Pending'
That's a standing ovation if ever there was one
Those two guys had everything. Love it when the dragons went silent. Entrepreneurs stayed cool and negotiated like bosses.
Two? He's just one guy.
@@BenjaminGoosedid you even watch the full video?
We don’t need an antibacterial tablet. Just an antibacterial screen sheet and such a case would be fine.
Exactly
Applicable to other devices, widening target market. Apply to literally anything that is touchscreen, commercial or domestic.
That discussion between Peter and the first entrepreneur was pretty tense, it felt like he was selling his soul to the devil...
He got a fantastic deal, gets 150000 to prove a concept, if it works he gets 1/4 ownership of one of Peters development companies, if it doesn't work he still got the 150000
Ur just sensitive.
Not the first time Indians get employed on high value 🤷🏻♂️imo he should not have accepted
@@Shabarattii_007 He is British. Working with Peter Jones would be a dream come true for anyone.
@@IAmTheJayster I'd like to understand the deal better. Who will cover the further cost in 12 months (e.g. development and operations)? Also if the existing conversations with the retailers he mentioned turn into actual sales, who will get the revenue out of it? I am just confused as this is not the usual structure of the final deal in dragons den. Normally, the dragon only gets certain % for a certain period, then would reduce it once they get their money back
Why did he say " Hagrid " I'm crying
Because he is the tallest of the dragons, 6'5" or something like that.
He doesn't know Harry Potter so said a name he had heard of?
hahahahhahaahah
The magic wand literally had me like "shut up and take my money"
I'll bet it's not selling many wands any more and they didn't hit those targets ... Is the business even still going ???
It's something that would have been an insane business before the mobile phone
They are still around, did 1 million their first year after investment, and they're introduced more products to their line. It appears they're doing pretty decent.
@@Jester-Riddle yeah they’re still going, doing pretty well too
Their doing well, AND they turned down Duncan's offer in the end

The first one was reallyyyy cool to watch!! Its nice how respectful the dragons are of each other and how open minded they are! Their silence and dedicated attention while peter was negotiating was impressive. Theyve interrupted each other before, but they could all tell he was cooking up something amazing in his brain and *wanted* to listen to him kill it. Respect off the charts, they all learned something. Very cool
they were all out by that point so why would they argue?
@@orangewarm1 9

Loved how Duncan handled that wand deal you could tell by his tone of voice he was the right dragon
Age of Empires is full of magic and wizardry indeed.
Are you saying that siege units moving by themselves isn't magic and wizardry my friend? :P
I just say Wololo
Wand company is going strong still... I've bought a couple of the fallout fusion flea replicas recently.. amazing stuff.. really realistic
Age of Empires really makes me want to buy a wand to control the TV I don't own
You don't have a TV in your house ?
I mean your parents surely do! ( Which technically is also your home, if you live separately from them).

Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Instead of trying to predict and prognosticate the stability of the market and precisely when the change is going to happen, a better strategy is simply having a portfolio that’s well prepared for any eventually, that’s how some folks' been averaging 150K every 7week these past 4months according to Bloomberg
That’s crazy, I’m just doing everything wrong with my portfolio.
The US-Stock Mrkt had been on it’s longest bull-run in history, so the mass hysteria and panic is relatable considering we’re not accustomed to such troubled mrkts, but there are avenues lurking around if you know where to look. My wife and I are retiring this year with over $7,000,000 in tax deferred investments. up until 3 years ago we were 100% in the S&P. During bear markets we had a perfect plan. We got an investment manager in our corner and didn’t look at our portfolio for nearly a year.
Same here, 75% of my portfolio is in the red and I really don’t know how long I can stomach the losses. I’m beginning to reach a breaking point.
Patience patience patience. It's a cycle.... a sucky point in the cycle, but a cycle nonetheless.
Hello, I am new when it comes to investing and i would really appreciate if I could get some tips about where it is worth to invest in (ETFs, Stocks, Growth stocks, Dividend stock etc.)
20% of 600k is 120k and 10% of 1200k is 120k so he doesn't lose anything either way 🤣 smart smart man
I absolutely love what Peter was doing in the first pitch. He did it because he wanted to help. Well done!
24:20 Not so 'tense' when you have 5 Dragons falling over each other for a piece of your pie

I'm addicted to watching these dragons den videos on youtube, one of the best shows with shark tank
Duncan on the 2nd - let's just say I've never seen him move so fast on the deal haha
I am surprised by the Wand Company ... especially Peter's interest. They even explained that it is just a universal remote control chip (and the downside that you have to learn it the relevant code, hardly magic!) - so although it is novel, I thought at least Peter would know how the PCB was able to determine gestures and orientation. But all credit to them, they have managed to make it sell well. I presume primarily as it isn't a large rectangular remote.
A niche market and clear longevity of the product are good reasons to buy.
this is an old dragns den, this is from over 12 years ago, so at the time, it was something novel. Its not JUST a universal remote chip, there are accelerometers and other stuff going on. Fairly normal for today, but if you think this was pretty much at the same time as the iphone 3, which was game changing tech, then its more understandable
You know your pitch is tight when it gets quiet.
debra: im out sorry :(
ashley: i have earned 800,000 profit
debra: IM BACK IN IM BACK IN
ashely: well glad you could join us back in!
Duncan shakes his head as he loses the deal on the last clip, I always thought he was a greedy bar steward!
This was the best dragon line up to date, there been other great dragons but in terms of all 5 , this was the best.
-James, I thought we were friends
-No, Duncan, this is business
ruthless XD
Now I’m starting to believe Jenny is there solely for that free glass of water
This programme needs somebody bigger than Peter Jones to bring him down a peg or two
Imagine a special episode with like Elon musk or something, that’d be great
It already has Duncan bannatyne who is well over 50% Peters size.
@@po-qo7vd he’s too scared to spend lmao
@@po-qo7vd yeah in net worth because he owns a lot of property but Peter Jones has more free capital because he sells his businesses so has more cash
@@po-qo7vd I don't think Duncan is as wealthy post divorce
Jenny: "I've got a new Wig and for that reason I'm out" 😂😂
James coming in like a total G on the last presentation. It’s why he’s one of my favourite dragons
It's a shame he's such a terrible person.
@@BenjaminGoose how
@@amzofficial8868 You can google Sharon Wright case. One of the most briliant ones to be in the DD, and he constructed the deal in a way that she lost part of her company for a loan from him.
Is that G for Goon?
That product was highly investable & for that reason I'm out
😂
😂 😂 😂 😂
🙄🙄
Peter's downright a savage genuis to have concocted that deal with Ashley! Giving him the sense of security of a pseudo job, and the incentive of 25% ownership if he delivers 👏
If he doesn't end up delivering Peter's requirements he still gets the 150000 and owns 100% of his business, really good deal for the guy
There was no job security though. Peter made it clear that Ashley would get fired the first moment Peter doesn't feel like the profits are sufficient. That couldn't be any more far from "job security"
@@Ev3rmoving he still owns all his ideas so could continue with then should he wish, just because they potentially don't end up meeting Peters sales targets doesn't mean they are worthless. He essentially getting the investment money for no equity in that scenario
For the magic wand one, if you were wondering what the top secret next project was, they wanted to make a Doctor who themed version with the sonic screwdriver, but due to lack of funding from sales in the second year, they cancelled the idea. They made 2 mil in the first year, but the next year was an absolute disaster.
What happened that It made It a disaster? Has the Company failed?
@@francescomento3120 The second year of sales, practically no money was made, and the original product was taken off the shelf.
@@francescomento3120 well clearly the company has bounced back and is worth a few million now. Still going!
@@_Davepocalypse where do you get the few million? I only see 1.23 if I google them
@@ShinseiX my mistake, a couple of years ago, the US side was showing a value of over $3m but it seems to be in falling apart now. It's come down from £2m in 2019 to £975k in 2021. Partly down to a 13 fold increase in liabilities!
Interesting first offer from Peter. If it makes money, I own 75% of the Business, if it doesn't we walk away
The incredible thing was the magic wand company did gross £1 million of sales in the first year 2011, still going strong to this day...
You could tell that they were going to make it. Two intelligent guys, presented well with a fully developed product and good margins
I just looked it up and it only has a net worth of 500k
I just watched Shark Tank Australia and the vibe literally changed with this show. Dang
How do you mean?
@@michaeltuffin5002 It is a literal tank with literal sharks and they attempt to eat the entrepreneurs.
@@DrMcMoist damm that sounds cool
@@tiago3275 Yeah. My only hope is that our future is a dystopian one and such inhumane television shows will be beamed out for the entertainment of the masses.
Anyone else noticed it’s always Peter who waits quietly and goes last, allowing the rest to play their cards while he keeps his up his sleeve? Maestro.
The video does not explain each companies profit and where they are now?
Duncan “this is ludicrous it’s ridiculous”Bannatyne
After watching over 30-35 DD episodes this is the first one I saw Duncan actually make an offer. And Jenny gets stick lol...
More like this, please.
I personally think it would make a more interesting show if the dragons submitted their offers in secret to the inventors, so that the other dragons don't know what, if anything, is already on the table.
That's how tenders actually work (at least, in my country) and breaching the confidentiality is actually illegal.
The person: I has patent.
The dragon: You have not got a patent.
The person: I has patent pending. Anyone can do.
I dont entirely understand the link between AoE and a funny wizard remote unless the guy is willing to just stand there and shout "WOLOLOLOLO" everytime he turns on the TV
lol that's what I was thinking. dude probably just listed all the games his kid plays and hoped none of the Dragons had heard of them
That's exactly what you do
Peter Jones is brilliant with his 1st offer. I like him.
I bought one of their blue backlit universal remotes back in the day & that thing ate through batteries faster than any device I've ever seen.
Did I get the first one right, Peter put in £150,000 for 75% of that guys business.
Yes and no, he incorporates that guys business into one of his already existing larger ones and launches it across his own product line because he now has access to that technology, and then that guy owns 25%of that bigger business department
@@jamesdurowse7445 Right gotcha, Thx man
The deal didn't even go through in the end.
@@wildnfree101 no worries mate
Karuma Innovations (first clip) was dissolved in 2014 after only selling 10k worth of products from Peter's investment.
Lol, well Apple have the tablet market wrapped up.

Two pieces of advice for the first person, 1. look into the antibacterial and antimicrobial differences of sharks, 2. Switched to making that a case, exclusively.
Do you know if he’s still working with him
Comments section filled with people typing about how people of colour aren't British. Full-grown adults with a lack of open-mind. Now that's scarier than any Dragon's Den pitch.
if anyone was wondering how the last two deals went. They didn't go through.
The wandcompany is doing fine in the last years on their own.
But planit products did not do well. The took a loan from the bank, but sales didn't go up.
Thanks for the uploads! These long-form videos are great, keep 'em coming please!
Crazy that I use 2 off those products,
Just goes to show that dreams can come true ❤️
You have to wonder if these people watch Dragin's Den. For example i have no business experience but being an avid viewer even I, the laymen, know that patent pending

Wow 180 quid for a small tablet for kids is really expensive and how many parents can afford that sort of money nowadays, especially when there's cheaper ones on the market already.
But when was this put to “air”? Prices of tech has come down over all . We don’t know the specs of the tablet so saying it’s expensive is a bit of a reach.
I love watching these videos on my lunch break, I’d be very interested in a follow up compilation on how these company’s are doing now …. and if I don’t get one I’m out!! 😉
The wand is truly magic!
It was nice to reminded of the days when Summerfields and Woolworths were around❤

I was a bit surprised James Cann offered to invest in the magic wand. He refuses the alcohol investments on religious grounds, and I would have thought he would stay away from fantasy/magic for the same reason.
Absolutely correct

I think you won't be able to track the movement they way it is tracked with the crystal UV system.
First entrepreneur Ashley is impressive.
It's interesting how everyone likes to reference Steve Jobs starting out in a garage. While that's true, no one mentions the 1000s of others tech wannabes who failed. And Steve Jobs never had to compete with a huge company like... Apple ... when he started either.
Sure, it’s called survivor bias. It’s so well understood/documented that it doesn’t even bare mentioning. The only people unfamiliar with the concepts are the people trying to compare themselves to Steve Jobs or similar individuals.
The first deal never happened and now the company stopped working on tablets
