- Linus Gorpe is seeking an investment of £72,000 in return for a 5% equity stake in his business 'Raw Chocolate Company'. The Raw Chocolate Company manufacturer and retail their 'healthy' raw chocolate bars that use unrefined sugars “which won't raise blood pressure levels”. All of the Dragons want a chunk of Linus' raw chocolate, but who has more to offer?
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.

This guy missed out. Could’ve stored a tonne of chocolate bars in Touker’s office space.
Ready made warehouse facility.
Hahah
Because HE LOVES WOMEN
😂😂😂😂
More then a tonne, I would say about 100 Tonnes 😂😂
That guys definitly doesn't need a plane to fly to peru...
Where are you from KK?
He can fly anywhere 😂
Your handle reminds me of the show _Löwenzahn._ 😍
Yeah because hes already high as a kite
Kekskopf Keks *guy *definitely *Peru 😎 ✌
"I love women, boy I love women"
"I will pick the right dragon, quite drawn to Sarah at the moment"
Commentary for this episode have been pure class 😅
😂😂😂😂😂
Liiiiiterally what I came to the comments to say 😂😂😂
He is drawn to Sarah? He can get in bloody line. She's mine.
@@OakApplegardens That's not fair, I saw her first.
Laughed so hard at infinity foods brighton when Toukar wanted him to say Marks and Spencers.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
If this guy was born in the sixties he would have been a religious cult leader
he LOVES the women
The spiel at the start reminded me of that creepy hot yoga guy.
@@Staplegunner Who doesn't?
Totally. He's like some creepy, arrogant, controlling sociopath and he could have loads of women.
He can make more money as a leader but can have more women as a follower.
That guy reminds me of our yoga teacher who spends too much time with my wife
Hahahaha😂😂😂
I know right
Hahahahhaha
The guy from GTA 5
Somebody say yoga?
I feel like poor Touker offers to invest in like 70% of the pitches but no one ever picks him. He's got free office space too in case you didn't know . 😉
Also dude he usually wants like half the company every time.
That's mostly because he always tries to get a huge chunk of the company, frequently more than double of what the contestants are willing to give away. You have Peter Jones there, that always asks for a higher percentage but mostly to allow for some wiggle room during negotations, while Touker frequently asks for 35, 40 or even 50% of the company, just based off who he is, as if bringing him on board is in any way a guarantee of success. Any reasonable entrepreneur would frown upon his demands, since such high percentages completely destroy their current valuation of the company and give him too much power in decision making, plus a big slice of the potential profits. And if contestants try to negociate more reasonable terms he immediately declares himself out.
I don't dislike the guy, but his negotiating style is the definition of greed.
@@sorrenblitz805 I think he's just gauging the entrepreneurs. If they try to negotiate down, they have good spirit and might be worth investing. If they just straight up turn him down, he dodged a bullet.
That’s so true. The Deb’s n Peter show isn’t it
Touker is really awkward. You can tell in this episode by his controversial talk, first saying that he has more to offer than anyone else, and then saying he would split with nick.
I think that is quite offputting to most people and definitely to this guy who is all about feeling things. But that's not right in business specifically. Business is about evaluating the best opportunity and definitely Touker, made the best arguments.
Its good to see Floki in a new profession
😂 Nice!
Lol
Hahaha😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Top comment 😂
Entrepreneur: Marks and Spencer’s Cameraman: Zooms to Touker
Update on this company. He should've made the deal with Peter or Touker because the deal with Deborah fell through. Three years later (in 2018), the company stopped trading due to heavy losses. It then merged with another chocolate company, "Conscious Chocolate." It still trades/sells today as of May 2021.
Thank you
Touker’s deal is the best fit here. Sad though
Thank you. I hate that I always have to scroll down so far to see legit responses. Again, thank you
@@jane111608 yep, him and Peter seemed especially interested and could offer legitimate help which they clarified. He probably just went for the one that charged the least or didn’t like their aggression
Quite surprised he didn't choose Touker or Peter offer. Yes, both asked for a quite high value, but he could at least ask for a counter offer once the money paid back. But, what could I say? He loves women.
He reminds me too much of middle-aged "spiritual" guys in Rishikesh trying to get lucky with younger backpacker girls.
Hahahahahaha
Do they have any success? *checks flights to India*
@@nickpellatt I've definitely seen two people vibing, talking nonsense about a future with free energy an no need for money when meditation will be the only worthwhile pastime. You can't get any tourist visa before summer though.
@@ladulaser I met a woman in Ubud, Bali a few years ago and she told me she'd gone two years without food and lived off the Earth's energy.
Hippy-esque lifestyles are great. Without the hippies
@@nickpellatt Did she seem genuine in the words she spoke to you and do/did you believe her statement?
he should've obviously picked Suleiman's offer: -10% extra but he gets the perfect expertise to make his business a super success.
Why Touker?
Deborah clearly has more to offer as a dragon with her background in retailing and leisure industries and she was offering a smaller equity like this guy obviously wanted.
The best offer here would've been Nicks and Touker's joint offer. But Touker got too eager and tried to one-up Peter which screwed that up.
@@bakersmileyface his company fell through and got bought by a rival company so she clearly didnt do a good job
@@way2375 damn
My exact thoughts. I wouldn't be surprised if Linus was high before he came into the den :P
@@way2375 the investment deal wasn't ever completed
“I love women, oh I love women”
What?
Exactly what I was thinking ahahaha
Dont we all?
Love the vag
He loves women alright!!!

0:00 - 0:10 - And on that basis, I'm out.
🤣🤣🤣

LOOOOOOOL AMAZING
"He's just spot on..."
"Rawrrr, rarr, the viking, rawrr"
More like some Wehrwolf

he looks a bit like Floki from Vikings lmao
@@senyamii He looks more like tumble dryer floss than Floki.
Techno viking would eat him raw 🤣
For anyone wondering he sells produce in:Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Iceland, Ireland, Japan, Portugal, Slovenia, Sweden, Australia, Canada and Netherlands
8:43 - "bet you didn't expect this" "yes"
"You did expect this?" "Yes"
"Do you want an offer?" "Yes"
"I'm concerned" *nods*
Should have been yes please, guy has zero manners.
He's the ultimate yes man.
@@Hi-kq1vi sometimes in business, politeness isn't everything.
@@Hi-kq1vi He is extremely arrogant.
What did Peter mean when he said, "I'm up against it?" I presumed he meant "I'm up against a wall," but I don't see how that makes sense in that context.
The zoom into the visible pain in touker's face at 12:05-12:-07 is probably the best shot ever filmed in DD. Cameraman deserves an award
I feel bad for suleman. He rarely gets picked and yet he seems like a genuine guy
I like Touker too but I think he's quite greedy in most episodes, usually always wants a lot more more equity than what's being offered and/or what the other Dragons are offering.
David Mcloughlin I think it’s cuz he wants to be more involved in the business as opposed to a passive investor, and so he probably feels he deserves more as he will be putting in work (which I understand)
He’s richer and more successfull than Deborah. This guy should’ve went with Tourker as he’s experienced in this field.
@@davidmcloughlin6547 Not as greedy as Peter who gets picked a lot. Even if there is a "better" offer on the table, people often choose Peter. I guess it's his confidence.
@@JIKittylet's not forget touker had a good deal going on for himself first with his 6%, until Peter comes along and tricked his mind to reconsider, Rly Peter gave the lowest offer among all, but it was enough for touker to make up his mind it's good. Peter has good confidence.
I would've taken Toukers offer, he by far seems the most enthusiastic and willing, giving great tips off the bat, and willing to spend time helping in growing the business. - Clearly that's why the "Raw Chocolate Company" was sold off. - Chose the wrong investor for the type of business he had.
He just didn’t care as soon as Sarah went out 😂😂
Not one question about his business figure. Linus used mind powers right there 🐉
I'm a chocolate lover. I had his chocolate long time ago. It's out of this world. Even if he did not make a penny, they knew if they got it in front of the right people it was going to sell like crazy.
Blah Weary.
Or the chocolate was spiked with mind-altering ingredients.
He's really skinny and when he introduced himself, the auto-captions said "I'm leanness".
😂🤣😂
This is my brothers friends dad and he is exactly like this in person, he's such a character
Hyperion MTG that’s amazing. How’s the company doing now. What’s the chocolate called
@@jimmybaldwin737 The same thing lol, just look it up, I couldn't find financial details. It looks like they were bought by another company "a "friendly competitor" which is very rare in business.." so it depends on how much they offered and still hand down to him...
I believe he struggled with financials after the deal he was offered on the show fell through due to issues with the company name. He then sold the business to one of his friends who also owned a similar chocolate company. That’s all I know, I very rarely see him.
Good for this fella. Hows the company doing. Is it in Marks and Spencers and if so is it ok for diabetics to eat as diabetic chocolate is not all that from what i gather and im type 2 diabetic. Be intrested to know. If he needs an ex Ceo and the best salesman on this Earthly World then let me know i will smash his chocolates every where. He sold out i gather he did not have the right good Human Beings within the company and k just hope he got the best deal for him
@@hyperionmtg4650 Ah, that's bit of a shame. Hope he's doing alright as it seemed a great product.
Interesting that they didn't ask for anything about profit, turnover, projections.
I’m sure they did, but it’s on the editors floor
yeah they found another Levi Roots
This video is severely edited
guess the product was too good!
Personally I would have gone for Touker. He wanted it and was passionate. Also he had a good vision
And he can give you free office space! :D
That's the joker dance, I'm not sure i want to buy his chocolates.
It’s entertainment and it’s better than greedy capitalist corporations
@@HeatSeekingMouse No, it's drugs.
Yankis shut up
@@ZiasRainbos90 it is tho u can easily tell
🤣😂💀💀
This guy has definitely eaten a lot of psychedelics
Some people act that way without drugs
Rare to see Touker to bee so excited even without anybody needing his office space. So this chocolate must be really good.
The dragons wanted him so badly, he had so much negotiation power in this.
Such a shame.
Update, for anyone who is interested! The deal didn't go through because of disagreements. Later his company (he still owned 100%) was bought by another company due to faillissement. He still works for them.
I dont understand why 80% of the deals on this show always get cancelled after broadcasting
..??
Is faillissement the same as bankruptcy?
@@mainaccount4049 probably because people second guess themselves. It’s a big decision giving away a precentage of your company on the spot
Parking my comment here to learn what faillissement mean.
@@zellustar2756 fail assessment
Touker's face lit up with excitement when the guy mentioned M&S in passing!
Peter: What's the towel on the side? Because it make you feel like a cross between a viking and a window cleaner. LOL !!!
Peter trying his best to break the guys confidence and realising it won't work so he goes on the charm offensive and calls it the greatest chocolate ever lol
@Bapple I think it's all geared towards lowering their confidence so he can swoop in and get a piece of their business for less...
@@williamking1905 Agreed. Peter loves to manipulate and play mind games with the entrepreneurs and the other dragons too. He'll rip a product to shreds to put off the others and then he makes an offer. Very underhanded tactics that's why he's my least favourite dragon.
🤣😁
@@irishemogirl6720 thats how business works and capitalism in general... he just does it in a diffrent way! just look how he always starts an offer with high percentage.... when the enterpreneur wants to lower a very high percentage it only lowers a bit so its still high and peter than always agrees with the "lower" high offer! thats also a known trading technique!
Shortly after this episode Deborah went missing and was never seen again
Lol
Lol
Deborah still look good for her age very nice he pick right dragons go with can't wait try choltlate myself .
@@georgeschofield6099 What is even going on with this comment George
@@georgeschofield6099she looks terrible for her age mate, especially considering her wealth. Clearly hasn’t used spf in her life.
Hair line loading: 50%
Hahahahaha 😂😂😂
Lololol 😂😂
Omg LOOOOOOL
🤣
He got the wrong deal. When a dragon shows that much interest you go with him.
100%, many people are so stubborn when it comes to equity %…like think about the other things you’re getting, a dragon will invest more time when they have 20% than 5/10%
Remember an episode where a guy declined 2 offers because they were 4 and 5% more than he asked for
Cross between a viking and a window cleaner!!!!!!! ROFL. Peter has the best sense of humour. Hes not wrong
0:01 I don’t remember this part in Joker
Its a deleted scene
Friendly Neighbourhood Spidey ah that makes sense. Arthur looks a little different tho
+Jasmine Chea - You need to see the *RAW* version!
If thats how "clean, healthy living" makes you look, I'm good with my unhealthy lifestyle
It dosent, that’s the large amounts of ahyuasca
I’ve seen this pitch at least a dozen times. Love it! Just love his confidence.
"I'd like to have all three of you"
Bet he's said that before...
9:05 Touker was like chocking on his chocolate or what 😂
Ermm i think you meant choking🤔
That guy goes to Peru he may end up trying the marching powder.
Me: "This guy reminds me so much about all the weirdos in my home town."
*Looking him up* : He's one of the weirdos from my home town. 😂😂😂

@@rosielinsey7849 ;)
When he said "I love women" so creepy I just assume one day we'll see him in the paper proving such
Or you just have a delusional over active mind
@@nyakwarObat Wow, relax.
@@nyakwarObat seriously though, why did he even have to say that ? That felt so out of place in a show like this, it’s understandable some would find him creepy.
so they didnt talk about margins or net proficts or projections?
That puzzled me too. Maybe the producers wanted to focus on his peculiar personality, so they edited out all the hard-headed discussion.
Yeah I was trying to search for the comment that pointed this out too. Seemed very strange like he hardly had to sell it to them at all and they were instantly in.
agreed so annoying, if we dont hear the sales, profits and other financial details, it's so hard to contextualise anything. This episode makes it sound like he's getting big offers just cause his chocolate tastes good.
He has stated that his model is doing well, restricted by available financial capital, has a middle man, that can be cut out with a flight to Peru further improving an already successful business. Nuff said.
Id blame the editor though. 😉
Look at the pic they are using- makes Peter look like a giggling disciple following his guru - very strange
So Peter isn't going to tell this guy he should have worn a suit?
Should he have? He got the offers and it was in part because they thought he was authentic.
@@ballswan No, but Peter has a track record of taking people to task for less than formal clothing choices. It does seem a bit arbitrary.
@@ballswan You cannot predict how these guys respond to the contestants They are so random
Yeh I’ve never understood it. Sometimes he’s angry others times he says nothing.. I assumed it just depends whether he likes the business on offer or not
@@retcon1991 I agree!
I'd have gone with Touker on this one. Actually I'd have taken him and Nick, knocked Touker down from 6% to 5% and brought Nick up from 4% to 5% to to make it fair. Also, why am I getting RoboCop 2's Cain vibes off this guy?
Flyboy lol good one! He was definitely high on nuke.
I got the same vibe immediately when I saw the bloke.. ;)
He should have taken Touker down to 10% for 70k. That value chain he was gonna create for this hippy would have been madness.
@@realestatewithlusanda4549 the nick and touqer deal was the best
Touka initally offered £6000 per %1 and then offered £5000 per %1.
I’m surprised he didn’t take Toukar’s offer I would’ve myself with what he was offering with sourcing, manufacturing and being a mentor
5:40 why did Sarah Willingham say she doesn't know supermarkets, when every other episode she has amazing contacts with tesco?
She wouldn’t leave Tesco alone with this man. 👀
@@cleopatraonlyfans spat out my drink 🤣
You could see Sarah's beaming smile quickly fade when she realized the guy was flat out ogling her. That tactic might work in hippy communes, but this is Dragon's Den!
One of the best Dragons den in a long time.
Man touker really wanted that. But 20% was too much
Deborah- £7200 for 1%, Touker- £5000 for 1%, Peter- £4500 for 1%.
When you scale to percentages, the difference is even bigger.
Not really-he has all the experience & logistical ability the guy needs in various areas, he has a top contact in the store he wants/needs to get into, can offer him lots of time & the guy has 100% of next to nothing as opposed to 80% of something huge.
@@Hi-kq1vi And he has office space in London. And lots of 'Touker time'.
Hi youre assuming that deborah has none of those things
@Anwar Darkazanli the fattest one
Peter: I bet you didnt expect that today did you?
Entrepreneur: Um, yes.
Peter: You did expect this today?
Entrepreneur: Yeah
Peter: Wow.
WOW! He should have gone with 100k for 20% that dragon was the most excited about your product! He wanted to mentor you!! The others wouldn't do that, they're far too busy. This guy had all the time in the world for THIS product that's how much he believes in it. Crazy to go Debora!
@@zeeshanhabib5879 at first i agreed w the top comment but u convinced me tbh he defo did make the right choice
bro he is a simp thats why did you not hear him in the begining
@@Momo-mc6pv it sure does seem this way :D
In business its not always best money that is best investment, debora wont focus as much as touker would, he was very excited and he specializes in retail too
@@zeeshanhabib5879 arguably he made the wrong choice as the investment with Deborah fell through due to disagreements over the company name.
Touker would’ve helped massively with sourcing, inventory, retail channels etc. which might have prevented the company from being taken over in 2018 after falling into administration.
00:00 "can you introduce me as the joker"
****0:01*
The way he says I love woman tells me he is hiding some dark thoughts
JEALOUS EH?
Why would he be jealous of a creepy hipster...
He's being transparent in his thoughts, like he wanted to fly with his hands
@@10wanderer Yes Peter I'm very jealous of a man saying on tv randomly that he loves woman.
@@10wanderer I can't see it being jealousy about his appeal to women, possibly the fact he's rich... Sarah couldn't wait to declare herself as out
What a lovely way to offer a service and with such lovely people 👊👍🙂
This is by far one of the best clips
"I love women, God I love women"
OK. But do women love you?
Most likely...they love chocolate and he makes good chocolate.. there for plenty of hole time
The laid back man who will make a lot of money and has access the high quality chocolate, yes they do
Definitely not...he's a gross creep on so many levels.
The way he had his hands on Debbie’s hips makes me think his intentions aren’t all business related
Exactly + his weirdo constant comments about how he "absolutely loves women especially Sarah" lol. Then he picks Deborah just to touch her by the looks of it, when clearly it was the worst offer...Proper creep.
awesome to see people doing well
Mans has 3 dragons going in for the offer without even speaking about his company’s financial position.
It's very honest of Sarah to admit she's not the best Dragon for him. Usually the tendency is more for people like Touker to push themselves as the answer to all prayers, like his excellent contact in M&S when the guy never once said M&S was his ideal store.
However he did say he bought his healthy lunches from M & S so I can see exactly where Touker was coming from with his comment....
Nicks face when he heard 6%, he couldn’t believe that hocuspocus
Well done mate good pitch hope the future brings u happiness
Title should be "The Creepiest Entrepreneur That Has Ever Come Into The Den”
Yes, he definitely is the creepiest! I couldn't believe it when all the Dragons said how much they liked him! I wouldn't trust him at all! He's far too weird.
Toukers face 12:06 had me dying 😂😂😂😂
Touker makes the best faces - he's always pouting at a good deal LMAO
😃😁
Peter is like the Simon Cowell of this program 🤣
Nice guy! Fantastic raw products.
Instantly gave me the creeps... he's well worth keeping an eye on.

Well done mate.... great Guy great Pitch!!
I love women, I am feeling drawn to Sarah-oh yes, wonder why?
Can't blame him
@@kelvinmathew6076 She was looking lustfully-but only at his chocolate stash.
Can't believe the dragons warmed to this guy. The business must have been performing quite well then and they were informed beforehand. Sarah was the only one that picked up on his off attitude and was out from the get go.
There’s so much left out here, such as, on top of the money, how much expertise and energy a dragon is willing to provide, along with a variety of other considerations.
This pitch is 100% unique. I like the idea.
"i think you will be super successful... for those reason, I'm out"
lmao 😂😂😂
"oh I love women."
> Sarah first one out
> Deborah's the chosen among the three.
That's a big GG.
A very good pitch by Guru Linus and one of the most interesting Dragon show .Quite puzzling that the panel did not question him on turnover & profit margin.Must be Linus Charm.
We get the edited version which is a lot shorter than the entire conversation. They for sure asked, so it must mean the editors found his personality more interesting than the numbers. And I agree
Finally a guy thats so chill
“Im more drawn to Sarah at the moment”
Yeah me too, and im not pitching anything 😂
Touker’s face at the end!
4:09 I love how he had to think about that, what a guy :D
I have had this stuff. It's delightful
OMG, he called Peter cheeky 😂 this guy
Gotta say Deborah is always fair with her valuations.
I've got to get some of this chocolate. This guy was hypnotic 🥺
Don't know why, but I'm really happy for this guy :)
