Can we all just forgot about the valuations of the offers and the dragons’ experience in a field and acknowledge the fact that Jenny Campbell actually made an offer. This will honestly go down on Dragons’ Den history.
@@Jerard715 While I see what you mean, I wouldnt compare Jenny to Barbara. Jenny doesnt come off as a sad old predatory woman who tries to jump exclusively on pitches made my well built young guys showing off their abs.

Queen Of Cards yeah same, my UA-cam newsfeed is filled with their videos now. I love watching the worst pitches such as the Light signs to alert drivers.
They did blow it. The hypocrites. They could have had them all in on it helping. Instead the greedy little shysters haggled over a few meaningless percentage points
Totally wasted the positive vibe. Peter and not a few others will be sure to destroy their empire ambitions, for their waste of disclosure there. It's as if some people have not heard the word China and think they can just fake the morality
The first offer is where the negotiations start, you'll never get that. I like that they started with 1%. That's what more people should do, not offering 20%. Behind their human faces it are real business sharks, that will eat you alive.
Good point, he comes off as a man of integrity which is refreshing. The bottom line is that he may also have been right when he said that the guys will regret rejecting the offer. With his technical background, there's absolutely nothing stopping him from investigating this idea himself and if it's viable, providing the service through his own operations. Personally, I think the whole thing might come undone due to privacy rules and authorisations. There is also going to have to be a lot of legal work surrounding this, not just in relation to authorities but their legal obligations as a third party in the provision of the energy services.
He looked totally bemused haha - but ultimately if anyone told me Peter's going anywhere near a deal for less than 8-10% Equity they can swivel. The man's so well connected, he "doesn't get out of bed for 10%"

If you were that wealthy or successful, why would you? It requires a lot of effort to make a startup successful, and you want to be appropriately rewarded.
Something else you have to remember, they will go deeper once the cameras are turned off. You may strike a deal in the den and still walk away without an investment. Something could crop up scuppering the deal.

Peter said "naivety in business" and this guys where the best I saw so far in negotiating the deal on this show, the dragons where talking of percentages about 5% and 20% and they left with more money than they asked for originally and with a 3%, I think they prove him wrong
@@khimaros the issue is when Peter is so obviously wrong it just makes Peter look like a tool, who was just projecting his own insecurity. 2% of the business that is already worth 9 million is 180,000 and they are giving it him for 120,000. I think it's just because it was a low percentage he couldn't get his head around it which genuinely does show some blind spot for him.

TheUrszulat oh I’d love such help! I still had to do the leg work when I contacted u switch. Not impressed at all. It’s a real headache dealing with the energy companies. Too big for their boots by far. They need knocking off their pedestal
The fact that the contestants actually managed to get the dragons to agree on a mere 3% of their company is odd and unusual, but the most staggering thing is that JENNY MADE AN OFFER AND EVEN GOT THE DEAL!!! What is happening???
These kinds of businesses can end up being worth a fortune, especially when they work with particular energy suppliers to ensure they offer the best deal for the website. Can easily end up with millions of captive customers.
I used a switch company like this and all i had to do was give my meter readings!! so yes as they do it for you it is worth it, I am now on the lowest rate on both gas and electric.
But how much does this switch service cost? Considering if you had time you could research for the best gas deals yourself, I feel like this is a convenience service i.e. wasting money for laziness. But seeing as most people don't want to put the time and effort into these kind of things it would obviously be a good business to invest in
It costs NOTHING to switch, also not lazy as you go onto a compare site and check the prices, who is ever the cheapest you go with them! so very simple to do, I went with a company called BULB and they have a very good high rating, Cheapest on the market which is good, I have a saving of 189.00 per year compared to my last provider, As for price rises all companies at some point have to do a price rise, However BULB have had three price rises since they started, But compared to others who have had 7 rises....Bulb cuts the cost by buying when gas is cheaper and store this so the savings come back to the consumer! The dearest one on the market is good old BRITISH GAS who have many price rises! Just take a look at their profits!!! enough said!!
These 2 guys were greedy trying to get a 3% bid down to 2%, getting pete down to 5% was a miracle in itself, I can understand the original low ball % to get the dragons in low, but they were barely budging on negotiation. I think they were originally just interested in the air time, but then were shocked the dragons were willing to play ball so did eventually take an offer.
This is NOT a gimmicky gadget company like half the businesses on dragons den...the growth potential is huge and they are negotiating on future potential; they valued their company at £9m, Peter originally valued it at £900,000 which is silliness. Companies like moneysupermarket and gocompare have revenue in the 100s of millions, when they negotiate 1% they are negotiating over the very real potential the company will be worth up to 1bn+ in the future. The artist David Choe for example took $60k of fb stock rather than being paid cash for artwork he did in their offices back in the day and his stock was worth $200m+ in 2012. Touker Suleyman is an absolute clown for saying he wouldnt get out of bed for 2%, 2% of a LOT of silicon valley tech companies is more than his worth.
greedy are energy companies where people pay bilions to greedy managers and corupted politicians, they are transparent and offer solution for normal people to save money, they will be bilionairs cause everybody will use them and companies who will not play fair who cares buncrupt or make same or cheaper offer to pay bills, great job, with one percentage investor will return milions gbp
if no one in the room was greedy and did not negotiate hard - none of them would have got as much money as they have - that is how the game is played..
Greedy? It's their business that is already worth 9 million, 2% for 120,000 was generous to these vultures, that 180,000 meaning you make 60,000 by just signing your name. Their investment was worth the evaluation on the date they went in, unlike any other business that normally comes in.
I've worked for EDF, and trust me when I say this, the amount of meter mix ups that we received in regards to someone changing over their tariffs to another supplier without being contacted is ridiculous and a nightmare to sort out
i have not seen this show in many years.peter jones used to look pretty smart.now he looks like i do first thing in the morning after a heavy nights drinking
My guess is that they have a MASSIVE investor offering Millions, however, they're going to ask for the same %per £100,000 that they got in the den. If that's £5mill, then at £120k/3%, that investor is going to want 50% more of the business than they would have if they had gotten the £120k/2% deal
Great point. exactly. Now that they have been valued very high by these dragon den DRAGONs, they will be able to raise money quickly at even higher valuations if they show traction in their business.
Touker, as always shows himself as clueless with the "I don't get out of bed for 2%" crap. What if 2% is of billions ? This sector is really not his bag and I know the sort he is because I'm Turkish Cypriot and can read him like a book.
no.. it looks like they were very keen on the deal - but i suspect editing must have cut out some revelation about other big shareholders and the drop in equity that they were willing to live with..
That smile at 6.11 says it all. Like we came in with a low percentage and the dragons are interested, we We ain't giving away much today. They probably would've been happy to give away 15 even 20% but came in with some risky tactics but obviously paid off
Insane. There will be other, better switchers and this company will be just another one of many. The valuation is WAY ridiculous, how did the Dragons' not see that?!
New Thought They’re breaking the wave, and they are the first in as far as automatic switching. There are now other price comparison websites yet Money-supermarket and Go-compare are still huge because they were first. This company will be worth 100s of millions you muppet.
Tej helped this company and it is now acquired by a German company for. 7 figure sum. He made 3 times return of investment in 2-3 years. Those guys are lucky.
Just because you can't work out the reasoning doesn't mean there wasn't any. It wasn't brazen bargaining, they were getting a valuation price for their business. 1% @ £90k = £9million valuation that they can slap onto the business using the Dragons as a "guarantor" to that value. 2% @ £120k = £6million valuation....that's a staggering loss in valuation for that business. 3% @ £120 = £4 million valuation. That's under half of what they deemed the "value" of their business was when they first went into the den. With a valuation of £4 million, though, they can instantly go in for a much higher value investor with a benchmark of £40k per 1% of the company as the MINIMUM value. When you look at the percentages and the up scaling of valuation, there is clear reasoning behind their amounts and percentage. Laugh all you want but they just made a £4 million business deal through hard negotiation tactics while opening up the market of TWO experienced and well connected partners that give them strong credibility and negotiating power with other investors and businesses they want to entice onto their platform.
The dragons should have asked them about the portion of the company they own, because usually when the entrepreneurs are willing to sell only 1% - 5% of their company (and these guys seemed quite desperate in terms of what they can offer), they own only a marginal amount of the shares, meaning there are already other owners/investors in the play.
Funny how normally when someone comes in with a ludicrous valuation the Dragons especially Peter gets all riled up but these guys come in with a 9 million dollar valuation and they are beside themselves trying to make a deal!!
Mannnnnnn, i've been watching this for 3 weeks now and I'm still not showing signs of quitting still. Come on, guys, quit making us all addicted here!! Mercy!!!! Christmas celebrations and New years are not making me skip them, sometimes i fall asleep watching even!! Thanks for the upload really!
Could've handled the negotiations with Deborah and Peter better, but by claiming 2% is lowest it makes the dragons more likely to undercut their offers. If they walked in saying they want 3%, they'd end up walking off losing 5%. By coming in at 1%, they're able to negotiate more without losing a large portion of equity.
@@ZygimantasA but the issue becomes when a customer requests a SAR or have their data deleted. Right now it won't be so bad as a customer will have only been with an energy company or 2 however if they're gonna make a single customer swap between 6-7 providers over 8 or 10 years then they run the risk of a £20 million fine if they don't comply with these requests across every provider. The man hours a SAR consumes is staggering having done them myself for a year now. GDPR will kill this deal/company.
Does anybody realize the ramifications of such technology....automatic transfer to a cheaper tariff...so soon as 1 provider becomes 1 pence cheaper several million customers instantly jump...I don't think so.
Definitely. Price can mean many things because electricity etc companies don't all offer the same things. They will have to build complex algorithms. Still, this will bring some much needed movement into the market!!
It cannot happen unless the entire industry is forced to by legislation. There are too many different factors at present and the sites which currently exist, plus the latest reforms in terms of making the energy companies communicate their cheapest tariff to the customer, mean their market is flakey, at best. £9m wouldn't even get you past the start line. This is a dead company walking.
@Sen484 Im guessing you are a paid shill here. If a service costs 50 dollars, and your realistic overall gas savings are 30 dollars by switching, you end up losing 20 dollars more by paying this "automatic switching" service. Honestly sometimes am surprised how 3rd world country people are more aware of money management and basic budgeting math than 1st world countries holy shit.
@@josephsonmichaelson7824 The service doesn't cost the consumer anything! They get their commission from the energy companies, for bringing them new customers. But I'm not surprised Mr 3rd World didn't understand this lol.
@Amadeus190890 About 15 years ago there was a massive fight at King College London between Turkish and Greek students. Upon inquiry It turned out they were fighting over who invented baklava.
didn't realise i was watching "the twilight zone" It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. it's an area which we call "JENNY MAKES AN OFFER" cue the twilight zone theme....
I think someone needs to number all the Dragon Dens UA-cam clips, as it takes me ages searching for the clips I haven't yet watched! Anyone...anyone...
4:20 "A groundbreaking website that's also first to market. It looks the the entrepreneurs have all the elements for success. But Jenny Campbell..." I genuinely laughed out loud there.
Its absolutely crazy. I live in the UK and worked in Energy industry for few years now and had the exact same idea. We brainstormed this idea for few days with my girlfriend and few days down the road seen an Facebook advertising of 'Look after my bills'. I began my research and ended up here 😂😂😂. Its really painful when you come up with ideas like that and they already been put forward.
It's a good deal if they're not going for branding and only care about the equity. The free advertising off of all the dragons making an offer on Dragon's Den alone will make a big difference. And perhaps turning down Peter shows that they value their company highly
No Einstein, it's a 1pp (percentage point) difference which in this case equals 50%. I hope you're not in engineering or any other math related line of business.
Aarnie, since you're that good at searching I would recommend you look up the term "percentage". Once you do that you'll hopefully understand what an uneducated fool you were.
z00h Pretentious...it's made to air on TV, no need to confuse people who could probably star on Jeremy Kyle. He did say 'difference' which is vague, I mean heck, you even put 'percentage point' in brackets. We all know what he means.s
At first I was willing them to calm down and get real. But the best offer they had previously was £90,000 for 3% and one dragon, and in the end they got £120,000 for 3% and two dragons. I say they were close to the edge, but they did pretty well all things considered.
Sounds a great idea... only problem is, it comes over a data protection paradise for hackers who I can see exploit this for personal details of those who sign up. How secure is their website? Is there protocols in place to make sure people's details are indeed secure? That's going to be the biggest thing... The other problem here is the competition, there is already price comparison sites working on the same idea, however with new data protection laws in place... it will be an issue.... I think it's an idea that could work, but I think they just come into the game a bit late.
Tej Lalwani: How many competitors have you got at this stage? Duo: Only one, we have a time bomb planted in there headquarters and the explosion should decimate the whole building. So we have devised a way of killing off competition. Tej: Impressive, I'am gonna make you an offer.

TheUrszulat oh I’d love such help! I still had to do the leg work when I contacted u switch. Not impressed at all. It’s a real headache dealing with the energy companies. Too big for their boots by far. They need knocking off their pedestal
I'm Deborah and I've been trying to get this bit of snot off my nail for years.
Hahaha, that made me laugh so much!
The fact that the contestants actually managed to get the dragons to agree on a mere 3% of their company is odd and unusual, but the most staggering thing is that JENNY MADE AN OFFER AND EVEN GOT THE DEAL!!!
What is happening???
These kinds of businesses can end up being worth a fortune, especially when they work with particular energy suppliers to ensure they offer the best deal for the website. Can easily end up with millions of captive customers.
Peter is raging
Deborah was madder. She offered 3% in the first place.
radiance65 But for 90 K, not 120.
I used a switch company like this and all i had to do was give my meter readings!! so yes as they do it for you it is worth it, I am now on the lowest rate on both gas and electric.
There are switch companies out there. I've successfully used one myself but these plan to switch for you every year which I think is fantastic!
But how much does this switch service cost? Considering if you had time you could research for the best gas deals yourself, I feel like this is a convenience service i.e. wasting money for laziness. But seeing as most people don't want to put the time and effort into these kind of things it would obviously be a good business to invest in
It costs NOTHING to switch, also not lazy as you go onto a compare site and check the prices, who is ever the cheapest you go with them! so very simple to do, I went with a company called BULB and they have a very good high rating, Cheapest on the market which is good, I have a saving of 189.00 per year compared to my last provider, As for price rises all companies at some point have to do a price rise, However BULB have had three price rises since they started, But compared to others who have had 7 rises....Bulb cuts the cost by buying when gas is cheaper and store this so the savings come back to the consumer! The dearest one on the market is good old BRITISH GAS who have many price rises! Just take a look at their profits!!! enough said!!
Go compare automatically do it now too
Lottie Love interestingly they gave you 4% for this comment
These 2 guys were greedy trying to get a 3% bid down to 2%, getting pete down to 5% was a miracle in itself, I can understand the original low ball % to get the dragons in low, but they were barely budging on negotiation.
I think they were originally just interested in the air time, but then were shocked the dragons were willing to play ball so did eventually take an offer.
This is NOT a gimmicky gadget company like half the businesses on dragons den...the growth potential is huge and they are negotiating on future potential; they valued their company at £9m, Peter originally valued it at £900,000 which is silliness. Companies like moneysupermarket and gocompare have revenue in the 100s of millions, when they negotiate 1% they are negotiating over the very real potential the company will be worth up to 1bn+ in the future. The artist David Choe for example took $60k of fb stock rather than being paid cash for artwork he did in their offices back in the day and his stock was worth $200m+ in 2012. Touker Suleyman is an absolute clown for saying he wouldnt get out of bed for 2%, 2% of a LOT of silicon valley tech companies is more than his worth.
greedy are energy companies where people pay bilions to greedy managers and corupted politicians, they are transparent and offer solution for normal people to save money, they will be bilionairs cause everybody will use them and companies who will not play fair who cares buncrupt or make same or cheaper offer to pay bills, great job, with one percentage investor will return milions gbp
if no one in the room was greedy and did not negotiate hard - none of them would have got as much money as they have - that is how the game is played..
Greedy? It's their business that is already worth 9 million, 2% for 120,000 was generous to these vultures, that 180,000 meaning you make 60,000 by just signing your name. Their investment was worth the evaluation on the date they went in, unlike any other business that normally comes in.
@@Alex-cw3rz How is it worth 9 million, dont know. I would expect a turnover of millions or a valuable patent for that valuation.
Jenny campbell is shaking and worried that they will accept her offer
True
🤣😩💀
Can they not use their own business model and automatically switch between dragons year on year LMAO
IKR?!
@Tom R Go back to upbeat mate
hahaha!
In yo face Peter, coming in with that ridiculous 10% offer trying to rip them off!
Hardly ridiculous, dragons have been known to make offers in excess of 50%. 10% is an amazing deal, these guys were just greedy.
@Paul Lambert WORD!
Peter probably adds more value in the technology business than all the other dragons combined, so no, that was not a ridiculous offer.
Unethical on an ethical idea 💡 pmsl
He always do that thats why he got loads of money
14:29, Peter was beyond shocked when the entrepreneurs accepted the deal with Tej and Jenny
"Toucker Suleiman... stays in bed" 😂😂
The way tej smiled when jenny made her offer 😂😂😂😂
I've worked for EDF, and trust me when I say this, the amount of meter mix ups that we received in regards to someone changing over their tariffs to another supplier without being contacted is ridiculous and a nightmare to sort out
@14:31 and look at Peter Jones's face when they accept the offer lol
Debra offers 3% they say bugger off
In the end settle for 3% wtf!!!
Debra offered 3% for 90k, but the final deals was 3% for 120k
i have not seen this show in many years.peter jones used to look pretty smart.now he looks like i do first thing in the morning after a heavy nights drinking
Lol I was thinking he's definitely had better days
😂😂😂😂
What do you expect when you own dozens of businesses? It's exhausting sometimes.
monkefoahead He can afford to, lol.
Deborah has aged so much.
Jenny : I’ll offer you £500 and a week in my timeshare in Tenerife in mid March
Hahahahaha this could actually happen LOLLL
My guess is that they have a MASSIVE investor offering Millions, however, they're going to ask for the same %per £100,000 that they got in the den.
If that's £5mill, then at £120k/3%, that investor is going to want 50% more of the business than they would have if they had gotten the £120k/2% deal
Great point. exactly. Now that they have been valued very high by these dragon den DRAGONs, they will be able to raise money quickly at even higher valuations if they show traction in their business.
thats exactly what I thought. They had several investors on standby that were waiting for a way to properly evaluate the potential.
They did a blog post where they explained the reason they were so fixed on equity was to protect their existing investors. (i.e. not undercut them)
Hatts of to the entrepreneurs ... i think they trapped the dragons and came out as clear winners...One of the best negotiations !!
jenny: I think your business is a great idea and worths millions and for that reason I'm out.
Touker, as always shows himself as clueless with the "I don't get out of bed for 2%" crap. What if 2% is of billions ? This sector is really not his bag and I know the sort he is because I'm Turkish Cypriot and can read him like a book.
@@legzz187 no, culture, he was raised in it
These guys are savage! They have Jenny doing online adverts now 😂😂🤣
Think they wanted to go it alone but just wanted to free public state of being on Dragons Den which is basically 3 TV advertising
true
You could've just said "seems they came for free advertising or airtime not a deal"
Buk Lau so??
no..
it looks like they were very keen on the deal - but i suspect editing must have cut out some revelation about other big shareholders and the drop in equity that they were willing to live with..
Peter Jones the legend. The confidence is incomparable 🔥
But do they offer 2 for 1 cinema tickets 😏
Yeah, where’s my bloody toy ?
*Cough* Torrents *Cough*
Furry toys and restaurant discounts too.
Amazon vouchers 😉😌
Love how all the dragons laugh when Jenny offers a fifth of the money.
That smile at 6.11 says it all. Like we came in with a low percentage and the dragons are interested, we We ain't giving away much today. They probably would've been happy to give away 15 even 20% but came in with some risky tactics but obviously paid off
Narrator: "Jenny Campell.. can also be very comptetive"
Me: "For what? The attention and the free water?"
The look that peter gave at the end. 14:39
Insane. There will be other, better switchers and this company will be just another one of many. The valuation is WAY ridiculous, how did the Dragons' not see that?!
New Thought hhi
New Thought They’re breaking the wave, and they are the first in as far as automatic switching. There are now other price comparison websites yet Money-supermarket and Go-compare are still huge because they were first. This company will be worth 100s of millions you muppet.
for some reason that makes them a hell of a lot richer than you or me..
New Thought have you ever heard of first to market advantage in disruptive economies?
Lol you must not reladie how tech startups work. They just need funding and growth to last until ipo. They don't even need to turn a profit
Tej helped this company and it is now acquired by a German company for. 7 figure sum. He made 3 times return of investment in 2-3 years. Those guys are lucky.
Blimey, I was screaming “TAKE THE BLOODY MONEY”
me nerves can’t cope...
Next pitch please 🤣🤣
Peter: "I like you. No, I *really* like you. Actually...I don't like you"
lol they had no proper reasoning for why they were asking them that amount... just brazen bargaining
Supply and Demand.
ALL 5 competitive Dragons wanted to be in so they had a strong position which they nearly blew due to their intransigence.
It's called negotiations. And you can tell the guys believed in their product so every % counts. It was risky but paid off.
Just because you can't work out the reasoning doesn't mean there wasn't any. It wasn't brazen bargaining, they were getting a valuation price for their business. 1% @ £90k = £9million valuation that they can slap onto the business using the Dragons as a "guarantor" to that value. 2% @ £120k = £6million valuation....that's a staggering loss in valuation for that business. 3% @ £120 = £4 million valuation. That's under half of what they deemed the "value" of their business was when they first went into the den.
With a valuation of £4 million, though, they can instantly go in for a much higher value investor with a benchmark of £40k per 1% of the company as the MINIMUM value.
When you look at the percentages and the up scaling of valuation, there is clear reasoning behind their amounts and percentage. Laugh all you want but they just made a £4 million business deal through hard negotiation tactics while opening up the market of TWO experienced and well connected partners that give them strong credibility and negotiating power with other investors and businesses they want to entice onto their platform.
@@RidleeFox correct !
Ridlee there is no 4 million or 9 million in this equation. They will waste the 120k on beer and cocaine and hookers. And desolve the company
im jenny campbell and this time im not out
Glad I watched this episode. I've starting using the company and have been saving about £70 a month. Great company
Jenny's bid was a creative way of saying "I'm out", but managed to stay in regardless.
Peter as always: "I will offer you all of the money for 130%".
hah :p
“Tuca sullimon...stays in bed” my autobiography
The dragons should have asked them about the portion of the company they own, because usually when the entrepreneurs are willing to sell only 1% - 5% of their company (and these guys seemed quite desperate in terms of what they can offer), they own only a marginal amount of the shares, meaning there are already other owners/investors in the play.
Funny how normally when someone comes in with a ludicrous valuation the Dragons especially Peter gets all riled up but these guys come in with a 9 million dollar valuation and they are beside themselves trying to make a deal!!
Mannnnnnn, i've been watching this for 3 weeks now and I'm still not showing signs of quitting still. Come on, guys, quit making us all addicted here!! Mercy!!!! Christmas celebrations and New years are not making me skip them, sometimes i fall asleep watching even!! Thanks for the upload really!
The investment went through, and she frequently stars in commercials.
Nearly died when Jenny actually invested in something LOL
Why did they say 2% was their final offer when they gave away 3% they got the worst dragons and and went back on what they said
Could've handled the negotiations with Deborah and Peter better, but by claiming 2% is lowest it makes the dragons more likely to undercut their offers. If they walked in saying they want 3%, they'd end up walking off losing 5%. By coming in at 1%, they're able to negotiate more without losing a large portion of equity.
Dan........that's why they are in business. And you and me ain't. That is basically the answer mate. XD
@@theindiediary5950 well there's a difference between handling business professionally with integrity and hagling like at a Chinese knockoff market
🐍🐍
I like how you call them "the worst dragons" 😂
Jenny: i'm only here for the free water, so on that basis, i'm out
"Toukka Sullivan STAYS in bed"💀
I wonder if those two guys owned a tiny % of the company.
That answered nothing about GDPR haha just chatted donkeys
People would give their consent to use their data, so no problem with GDPR.
@@ZygimantasA but the issue becomes when a customer requests a SAR or have their data deleted. Right now it won't be so bad as a customer will have only been with an energy company or 2 however if they're gonna make a single customer swap between 6-7 providers over 8 or 10 years then they run the risk of a £20 million fine if they don't comply with these requests across every provider. The man hours a SAR consumes is staggering having done them myself for a year now. GDPR will kill this deal/company.
JustARTificial you mean a DSAR. A SAR is a suspicious activity report
this one is WILD. How razor thin are their margins if 1% would make or break a deal :/
There are loads of companies which do this already. I used Flipper 18 months ago and it's exactly the same thing.
Jenny: this valuation electrifies me - therefore I am out
I’ve been seeing ads from UA-cam with Jenny with this
These men have actually have succeeded cos i got an ad of them and now these guys actually worked
Does anybody realize the ramifications of such technology....automatic transfer to a cheaper tariff...so soon as 1 provider becomes 1 pence cheaper several million customers instantly jump...I don't think so.
Depends entirely WHAT the difference in price is for a customer.
Definitely. Price can mean many things because electricity etc companies don't all offer the same things. They will have to build complex algorithms. Still, this will bring some much needed movement into the market!!
It cannot happen unless the entire industry is forced to by legislation. There are too many different factors at present and the sites which currently exist, plus the latest reforms in terms of making the energy companies communicate their cheapest tariff to the customer, mean their market is flakey, at best. £9m wouldn't even get you past the start line. This is a dead company walking.
@Sen484 Im guessing you are a paid shill here. If a service costs 50 dollars, and your realistic overall gas savings are 30 dollars by switching, you end up losing 20 dollars more by paying this "automatic switching" service. Honestly sometimes am surprised how 3rd world country people are more aware of money management and basic budgeting math than 1st world countries holy shit.
@@josephsonmichaelson7824 The service doesn't cost the consumer anything! They get their commission from the energy companies, for bringing them new customers. But I'm not surprised Mr 3rd World didn't understand this lol.
Is that Touker Suleyman guy Theo Pathitas fat brother?
One's Greek, other a Turk.
Greeks and Turks really don't like to be mistaken for the other. But everyone knows they are basically the same thing, just different religion.

Tbh Peter Jones is the only Dragon in that building. He is an absolute savage. The rest are merely Whelps.
No Nonsense Johnson and Deborah
Thank you BBC for these great clips !
Who’s here from the ad?
mee!
The one liner puns that narrator comes out with are golden 😂😂
when this scales those percentage points are going to be a very big deal. They did good.
The comments under these dragons den pitches are HILARIOUS !!!
I love Peter's face the most when they accept a higher %
His face :'(
Especially after he explained to them they were being naive and stupid.
didn't realise i was watching "the twilight zone"
It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. it's an area which we call "JENNY MAKES AN OFFER" cue the twilight zone theme....
I think someone needs to number all the Dragon Dens UA-cam clips, as it takes me ages searching for the clips I haven't yet watched! Anyone...anyone...
4:20 "A groundbreaking website that's also first to market. It looks the the entrepreneurs have all the elements for success. But Jenny Campbell..." I genuinely laughed out loud there.
Hell, sign me up! - said 40 million people...
Its absolutely crazy. I live in the UK and worked in Energy industry for few years now and had the exact same idea. We brainstormed this idea for few days with my girlfriend and few days down the road seen an Facebook advertising of 'Look after my bills'. I began my research and ended up here 😂😂😂. Its really painful when you come up with ideas like that and they already been put forward.
It doesn’t work anymore tho
They got the shittest dragons. Both Debra and Peter are clued up in ecom and tech. Those two are brandless dragons
yeah but they got the lowest equity deal... cheapest is always best, right?
It's a good deal if they're not going for branding and only care about the equity. The free advertising off of all the dragons making an offer on Dragon's Den alone will make a big difference. And perhaps turning down Peter shows that they value their company highly
@Speciman But far less experienced
And both are in effect spending inherited money.
@Speciman Tej inherited his company from his dad though, so not built it himself
"Jenny Campbell can also be quite competitive".
He's joking right?
I nearly cried watching this, this service is too important to lose dragon's help over a couple of percent. Was on the edge of my seat for this one!
Peter pissed still lol. These 2 had one of the best pitches n outcomes i seen. Congrats
1%... wow. At any valuation that’s just so small. I think I would’ve walked out. What a waste of time.
Makes good tv though. Haha.
At any valuation? You do realize that a pitch like this has the potential and even probability of reaching billion pound sums?
It was probably that they wanted free advertising
@@simonburkeisable 1m
simonisable
Ehh... no.
Jenny Campbell, no offers for an extremely long time, does one offer, gets it, and it's one of the most successful ones ever
"2% vs 3% that's just 1% difference!" err no that's 50% difference. On that reason me be aut.
No it's a 1% difference, a 50% increase
No Einstein, it's a 1pp (percentage point) difference which in this case equals 50%. I hope you're not in engineering or any other math related line of business.
Aarnie, since you're that good at searching I would recommend you look up the term "percentage". Once you do that you'll hopefully understand what an uneducated fool you were.
Original poster is correct. It's like saying 100% vs 150%. There's a 50% increase.
z00h Pretentious...it's made to air on TV, no need to confuse people who could probably star on Jeremy Kyle. He did say 'difference' which is vague, I mean heck, you even put 'percentage point' in brackets. We all know what he means.s
Miss you ever so much Ned , just you remember we're all behind you, far too hiding behind your next man . Family first💖✊🤠🏴
JENNY MADE AN INVESTMENT... with tej BUT THAT'S BESIDES THE POINT.
At first I was willing them to calm down and get real. But the best offer they had previously was £90,000 for 3% and one dragon, and in the end they got £120,000 for 3% and two dragons. I say they were close to the edge, but they did pretty well all things considered.
Sounds a great idea... only problem is, it comes over a data protection paradise for hackers who I can see exploit this for personal details of those who sign up. How secure is their website? Is there protocols in place to make sure people's details are indeed secure? That's going to be the biggest thing...
The other problem here is the competition, there is already price comparison sites working on the same idea, however with new data protection laws in place... it will be an issue.... I think it's an idea that could work, but I think they just come into the game a bit late.
Tej Lalwani: How many competitors have you got at this stage?
Duo: Only one, we have a time bomb planted in there headquarters and the explosion should decimate the whole building. So we have devised a way of killing off competition.
