If you watch the one from BBC channel you mostly get Sara Davies episodes. But if you watch it from Dragon's Den own channel you only get the old episodes.
I started my nursing career in aged care. I’ve seen the elderly trip and fall on furniture, and no nurse ever forgets the sound of an elderly person, or any person really, who’s skull hits the ground from a fall, **smack**, it’s gut wrenching. If I could invest in this product, I would, it will save lives in a number of ways, ie trip hazard, infection risks, etc. I wish you both all the best.
Everyone had become acquainted with the same gut wrenching sound when a policeman pushed over that unarmed elderly protestor and cracked his skull on the concrete pavement, causing his ears canals to bleed. You could hear the cringing sound of the skull cracking over the commotion from across the street. I admire anyone nobly working in any age care facility. If we don't die prematurely or don't have family support, our last years are reliant on their expertise and quality care.
They know they have to basically build the business from the ground up . 75% of a business and have someone with links is a pretty good thing for basically a start up with zero sales .
I agree, I think they could also make them for people who are living at home, both in the U.K. and internationally. The world has an ageing population and I think they do have quite a big potential market
I can’t believe 3 dragons thought it would not be a profitable business. Peter asked ( where do you go when you’ve sold to all the care homes ) since it’s so well made. Peter was only thinking of the UK market. I live in Japan and worked for a company that has HUGE care homes. The type of care homes that charge thousands per month to have your loved ones in. This product would be so welcomed here. Not only in the care homes, these people here would buy 2 sets per person, one for the care homes and one for their private homes for when their elderly loved ones came to visit.
I doubt that very much, why would you put this in your home just for the rare times your elderly ones come to visit, it's ugly and unappealing, also that doesn't happen in the UK, once you're in a care home you don't 'go to visit' anywhere.
I live in Japan, and have worked with one of the leading age care companies in the country. Sometimes the dragons only look at their local markets. Here, care for the elderly is a HUGE business, since we have the oldest population on the planet.
This isn't the first time Peter has complained about lack of built-in obsolescence in a product. It really says something about his values and what his businesses sell.
When in business, unfortunately, you are required to leave your morals, ethics, and compassion at home if you want to succeed in capitalism. #SadButTrue
There was no bidding war. It was three dragons pulling a Jenny and were out, and two kinda crappy offers. 10k and 25% they values the business at 40k? Almost insulting.
to be honest I dont think thats insulting the dragons are buying into a concept that hasn't even been fully proven on the market, theres no POs so far and no financial history showing that this item will sell the dragon is going to have to do a whole lot of work to get the cost down and to find a manufacturer to produce the product, bring it to market etc.
I gaurantee if you were giving 10,000 of your own money to someone you didnt know for something that was a potential risk you wouldnt make a statement like that. Which explains why they are successful business people and youre commenting on youtube videos.
You discussed that, that isn't about the money, it's the contacts they were looking for ; 1 cheap manufacturer, 2 get it to every care home and plus. They even said they have extra money to Put in their business.
Where is the bidding WAR? They made 1 offer each, and the couple accepted the lowest equaty offer on the table. Another click bait and once again I fall for it
Great experience. It’s incredibly nerve wracking to pitch in front of those dragons. Sara is lovely and was a good choice. She is genuinely a caring person.
Could this be attached to a regular modern chair and be used as a computer/tablet desk in small spaces like college dorms I wonder? The design could itself be used for other environments not just care homes.
I'm sure desks like this have been around for ages-I've seen variations on them at my uni and workplace. Pretty crap tbh. If you don't have enough weight on the tray or lean on it wrong, it falls back to the side. I'm not in the UK though.
A very clever pitch. Low investment ask but in return gets priceless manufacturing and marketing expertise. Great foresight in taking that approach. One of the best pitches in terms of realism and restraint by owners and their respect for the abilities of the apex entrepreneurs in the Den.
Debra is so sneaky. She knows she can't make money out of this but cannot be frank like Peter. So she squirms out of it by saying she doesn't know how to add value.
I can see there could be quite a few upgrade-add on they could sell for this amazing care equipment. For starter, a telescopic/foldable tube to hang IV bags. Or a wireless “bell” kit that help the patients notify the care givers when they need help. So many things you can slap on to the base of this equipment
True, I think some dragons high ball them just to make sure they’re not suckers and actually have negotiating skill, which can be as valuable as any idea/product.
@J B Dragons nearly always go for a reasonable price, because they don't want the entrepreneur to back out or another investor to outdo them. That's capitalism.
79 pounds to build them. What's the retail? How do they attach? Will homes buy them for every chair? Can they be made in different sizes to accommodate different chairs? *note how the end rests on the left arm just a wee bit? Prefer an extra two inches (●THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID●) for more security. If the user leans onto the table or falls forward onto it, prefer it be stabilized by the left arm. Shit, I'd buy one for my moms chair at home. And one for me...biscuits and tea while watching Tele would be nice.
Very refreshing on the value of the 'idea', I have not seen all DDs but I gone through quite a few on UA-cam and I think that is about the most realistic valuation I have seen. (There was one on Australian Shark Tank who offered a stake in his business for a crate of beer and another wanted AUD10.) I think I would have tried to do a deal with both of the dragons who showed an interest.
This appears to be the same idea that I've used for years at training venues...a 'table' that swings up from the side of a chair. I'm not sure this a new idea.
HELLO Peter - wear and tear, in 3 years many will need replacing 🙄 and it’s not just care homes. Both sets of my grandparents would want one of these - each (4). My mum would too. Peter is being too narrow minded
Really nice design. Would honestly buy myself xD. Also love that these guys are so caring, never know when something like this can happen to you so its reassuring to see people like this who actually care for people in need
Flimsy table, no edge strips stopping people with poor eye sight knocking their hot tea on themselves. Release is ontop is it? When people rest their hand on top as they lean over to get up they release the table with hot tea ontop?
Just interested to know your solution for stopping people with poor eyesight knocking hot tea on themselves. What kind of edge strips could possibly stop that from happenning? (I guess you're not planning on them reaching the ceiling)
@@albo181they show a typical example in the video. It stops the drink sliding off the edge. The lip has a tasctile feed back, if it is over the lip it is on the table. If no edge a blind person could put it down with one hand only putting one half on the table without realisingm ore easily than with a lip. With a lip spilt liquid doesnt go everywhere. Plates dont slip off the edge so easily
No that’s not how it works. These are designed for the care industry. You’d have to run a pretty awful care home if you allow a blind person unsupervised with a hot cup of tea. Especially if they have dementia. The same risk applies to normal tables. They have no lip either. Are blind people not allowed to use them.
I’m pretty sure Sara would have given the 10k for a 20% stake, either right away or scaling back to 20% after she’d had her money back if they’d simply asked her politely...I always cringe when I see equity given away so easily and without a fight like that 🙄
Yeah but don't forget the business hasn't even started trading yet so she is only investing in an idea. Also if she makes it happen and gets the price of the manufacturing right down then she's wrll worth her shares
We use this in our care home. The metal top is rounded and very smooth. Hasn’t hurt anyone. It’s quite safe. Actually the other tables are quite dangerous simply because they can’t be put away and clients trip over them.
I dunno if my granddad made one for my nan but she had one just like this, and that was 30 years ago. Im sure I saw these around back then, but she most certainly had one, I remember it well because I liked using it when she wasnt in her chair and pretending I needed it lol. I saw these often though elsewhere too, im sure of it.
