This is the official channel for Dragons' Den Canada. An international sensation, which features entrepreneurs pitching for investment in the Den from our Dragons, five venture capitalists willing to invest their own money in exchange for equity.
Kevin was actually pretty nice here. This is obviously one of the worst pitches in dragons den history, and one of the worst ideas. Alot more mean stuff could have been said here.
Worse than barracuda security devices?

My neighbour built a shed out of straw. Within 2 years, it was thoroughly infested with mice.
Good to know.
Gasoline, oil, liquor and smokers… and straw?!?! … that’s probably not a fire hazard!
A good afternoon honestly best comment up here 1 billion percent! 😂 I didn't see what happened at the end yet I saw your comment started 😂😂😂 have a good evening God bless stay safe yours sincerely Susan 🙏
Ya think??
I love how Arlene turns away from Kevin once he draws his sword, knowing it's about to be a bloodbath.
Good thing staw is fireproof. Nothing could go wrong.
And it's stronger than steel when acting as a guardrail
SEE THE POWER JIM HAS, THE RESPECT OFF KEVIN, HE DOESN'T EVEN MESS AROUND WITH JIM
Are you in love with Jim or something?
Worlds biggest Jim fan???
2:02 - you may be able to build a house out of straw, however you're not normally driving combustible engines inside them! This is a huge liability disaster waiting to happen. Either a major fire, or the snow is too heavy for the straw roof, and there's an avalanche, and people are basically buried alive.
Not to mention if lightning strikes the structure.
i thought this was a parody pitch
I've never wanted a bad idea succeed as much as I have now, after hearing Kevin will eat straw like a cow.
Hahaha 😂😂😂
What a poignant rhyme. 😅
I can just hear her after approaching some contractor with this: " I want to build a castle out of straw!!.....Zoning? What do you mean? What's that?.......... Electrical and plumbing? Can't you just run all that through straw!!! ..........I just want to build a castle out of straw!!!........ What do you mean by Safety and Building codes?...... I just want to build a castle out of straw........" LMAO
Just blows my mind at some of the ideas people come up with and they actually think it'll work
The roasting from Kevin wasn't even that bad lol
he had mercy after seeing that she was willing to stay. He is also kinder to people who seems to are neurodivergent or something like that
@@marc-antoinemarcoux697true
That's Methed up 😂
I like the wholesomeness of the Canadians on this show! And I think they are much funnier than Shark Tank 😂
the British version is TOUGH, they are super serious and the Dragons on the British one esp. make it known they HATE losing and wasting money on STUPID ideas, and they will call you OUT on dumb concepts too, lol. They are TOUGH on the British version.
@@MrMaddox57I’ve noticed that 😬
The music they play when Kevin speaks is so calm but I'm dead💀
I’m hung up on it being the size of an MLB stadium but only has 8 suites, how does she plan to make a profit?????
Why was she allowed on the show
Entertainment value. It good for viewers sticking around for the next episode to see what other goofy ideas people present.
Dragons Den and Shark Tank are still reality shows. They’re still directed and scripted for entertainment.
Honestly when you go on these shows, the main purpose is marketing rather than getting investment. Hell most of the investments done on camera fall apart when when actual negotiations start.
@@AlmightyDoge665 100% agree with you. I've seen so many episodes where the "investors" invest in a sob story but at the time of closing, it never comes to fruition. It was just done on camera to create a good image for the Dragon/Shark investing.
I like that Dragon's Den shows the valuation.
As opposed to having to do maths? 😆🧮
@@Cypher791it’s math not maths
@@garbygarb31 it’s maths… ☝️😊🧮
So childish, walking out and not even listening. They get paid for that. Even when ideas are crap.
You're an idiot if you think this is a good idea and deserves to be listened to.
Honestly it's her own fault, a motocross straw castle/resort..... come on
One has to love Mr. Kevin, real business men get to the bottom line in a rush and are straight forward.
How did this ‘make the cut’ to get on TV
Did she say she bought 200 acres for a thousand dollars an acre
Yeah bcoz it’s not farm land it’s just a jungle that’s why it’s worth that much and far from residential too
This was probably aired in 2016 or something 😮💨
He missed a spot, one of her arteries was still left un-eviscerated and intact. Nearly complete kill. 9/10
You might be able to build a house of straw, but I doubt it would have more than one level.
Damn Kevin is more ruthless on Dragons Den then he is on Shark Tank lol. Guess producers told him to be more blunt than cruel haha
I'm not an 'English-speaking' guy but i sometimes confused the way they use the words 'then' and 'than'
Kevin is the star on Dragons' Den
because this is much younger Kevin before he going through anger management 😅
@@faizkamenrider-x1j more likely not anger management but what Kevin said he now needs to behave and couldn't be his old wild Mr. Wonderful
@@faizkamenrider-x1jHa! Yes
Does anyone want to invest in my indoor, leapfrog track made of hemp?
I always hear Steve from Shark Tank AUS saying “noice” when people say where they’re from
Best. Idea. Ever.
Please tell me someone else invested after the show.
Straw castle? More like 'money printing machine'.
Dang MrWonderful made her run to the car like Red in the movie Friday...lol!!
I miss brutal Kevin, but he went easy on her tbh
One of the reasons I watch Dragon's Den and Shark Tank is to see other people's business ideas and how they are selling their product line. I discover how valuation is determined. And what it takes to secure a deal with a Dragon (or shark). I wonder if those who come on this show truly understands the working behind all of this. And I question how Dragon's Den even allowed an individual to appear on the show without provable sales. Yes, we all have dreams...and maybe this kind of episode helps others. I just find it sad to watch when something is obviously not going to attract an investor.
Dragon’s Den was more like a comedy show of bad ideas. Shark Tank is for actual businesses.
I really want to be there when they decide to put the pool in, just to see the pool contractor's faces.
its a massive success though, they even built one in england.
@@billyjesus5442link ?
"Racing competitively" or in English: Not having a job.
5:44 AN TIC I PATION..................is making me wait
Welcome to the den. How can we humiliate you
They just be picking people with the most outlandish ideas for ratings. Just like that ear surgery guy from the American version 😂😂😂
Why Norma? Why? Why?
200k for 200 acres? What a fucking lie that would be millions
Kevin behaved lol
lol straw castle 😂😂😂😂
I'm not a native English speaker so I was very confused about this "straw" castle. Was thinking what it really is (not a straw which you can use for drinking) in my language and searched it.
Hay bales
She's better off with drinking straws
As a farmer, straw is the residue from a harvested grain crop. It's not edible, and is usually used for fodder. This plan uses straw bales for a building material, but it is not ideal.
Kevin was one of the older dragons?! 😮
Kevin and Robert.
@@Mikael2492 And Robert?! I thought he was one of the younger ones.
I believe Robert is 53 and Kevin is 68. Big difference.
@@stellarocquie7957 Barbara is the oldest, she's 74. Kevin is 68, Mark is 64, Robert is 60, Daymond is 54, and Lori is 53.
PLEASE DON'T POST THE ORIGINAL AIR DATES!!
Don't let the UK govern your dental care, Canadians.
We have a whole fairy tale outlining why structures built of straw and other weak materials are a bad idea
1k for an acre. Damn that's cheap
My thoughts exactly
The other dragons just wanted an early lunch
What exactly is this woman going to do herself? Just ask the Sharks to pay for and build everything while she just owns it?
I wish someone would angel invest 5 mil just so we can watch Kevin eat hay like a cow
No, Kevin's term is it has to MAKE MONEY, not just built it. Else I am sure Cuban would happily do it. He said sometime he invests on Shark Tank not for money making but for the right reason and I am sure seeing Kevin eating straws like a cow is one of the right reasons.
All of us has had an idea that we think will make us millionaires at some point. Sane people realize how difficult this is
There are countless bad ideas/pitches but were the pitchers haven't invested much money to make it worthwhile. If your idea is good but you don't put enough in yourself, why would a dragon invest in you than just do it themselves.
All it takes is for a big bad wolf to huff and puff and blow the castle down!
Look into just the subscription per year in Australia to go ride on a track for motoX
At least in dragons den UK, you have the illusion that it is not fake.
Respect to Kevin, she badly needed a reality check. The other dragons were cowardly.
Kevin always tells the truth . And probably saves these people a lot of money by quashing their ideas on the show
I just started watching the Canadian version of the show and what is it with these Canadian people trying to promote their business ideas ??? they are all crazy I haven’t seen one good one yet and everyone has been rejected
dragons den Canada would always let a few nutty ones on to make entertaining tv , especially in their early years .
A classic case of asking for 100% of the required capital and yet only offering 50% of the equity. The only the way there could be any fairness in that is if she draws no salary AND brings CAD 2m in sweat equity, which is clearly not the case. Valuing the company by reference to the money she needs (and how much equity she is willing to part with) rather than by what it’s worth.
🌾 😊
The concept is great. And will make millions look into it. Subscription for motoX riders for somewhere to ride is huge world wide.
Kevin and Jim - Season Pros
The others - Discount Dragons 😂
May god be with you? 😬
I dont care, how do I make money
This is cringeeeee
So unnecessarily rude.
The lady dragon was just as cringeworthy as this pitch was
That was so rude how they walked out. Even if they don’t like the idea they should have respected the courage of the woman to present her idea to the dragons.
To be fair, she’s almost certainly mentally ill.
It may not actually be a bad business, but this woman would never succeed. She’s far too slow and has terrible presentation and communication skills.
you think building a castle of straw is a small fit? try building it out ..... frozen semen
😛
hahaha first time kevin make make lol
