Touker has pound signs in his eyes after realising he can sell his office spaces to 200 million people in the UK
Was looking for this comment 😂
Where does this joke come from?

@@smackham4683 Joe
EVEN THE CHANNEL LIKED THIS COMMENT HAHAHHAHAHAH
I was cringing so bad when she said the UKs population was 200 million. Like seriously, how can you expect people to take any of your numbers seriously after that?
Thats about the population of Pakistan. Indians are so obsessed with Pakistan
@@sasnad3 mate, I'm pretty sure that's not what was going through her head when she spat out those numbers. Now you on the other hand, seem extremely bothered by Indians and Pakistanis. I wonder why that is.
@@rohilthomson i watched a lot of barkha dutt during the covid devastation in India
@@sasnad3 I'm Indian and I don't even know what tf that is lol.
You HAVE to agree with her since she is using the LGBDFGDFG group card
Never tell Peter you have another job or that you already own a successful company that's not included in the investment opportunity.
He's just gonna try to make you give up your job or include the established company in his investment.
And never tell him you have a wife. He's just gonna tell you he will only invest if he can have your wife on Tuesdays and Thursdays..
I just don't understand how he expects people to just give up their day job. If the business fails he loses a small fraction of his wealth, while the business owner literally loses everything. Why is it so unreasonable to keep your day job until the business is somewhat sucessful.
@@AScaryOrange123 because you're asking for his money and you clearly don't care about it. Your attitude is exactly what they don't want. "if i fail, it doesn't really hurt you, so it's fine for me to deprioritize your investment if I change my mind"
@@AScaryOrange123 also this is the UK, they don't lose literally everything. They have a social safety net.
@@kevinbissinger but most of these people on this show and definitely most people who own there own business do this exact thing. You test the water while working and then when you can afford to you quit your job.
@@MSquaredRecords unless you have some revolutionary idea, a business is not ready for investment if it cannot support you financially because you havn't got a proven business model

@@OakApplegardens London must be the bulk of the 35 million beauty enthusiasts.
I think it would have been more graceful to admit she didn’t know the market size rather than fumble over the numbers that were obvious guesses and ruin her credibility like that…
@Travel Crawl Yeah, she should have just got indignified and huffy like any good boomer would
I'm wondering if she was mixing up her stats given that she's already in 2 other European countries. Maybe, she was using population numbers from all of western Europe?? She came across as confident and savvy, but ended up sounding like a ditz.
@Travel Crawl ok boomer
@Travel Crawl Utter rot, have you seen the show? Plenty of older people have BSed their way through their presentations. Not every individuals failings are a symptom of their generation.
You think that saying "I don't know what the market is" wouldn't have equally ruined her credibility!? The armchair commentators on these videos are ridiculous.
She's trying to hit every hot button social issue all in one product pitch, no surprise from a digital marketer
Right. She failed badly to know the UK population especially for someone with her background expertise.
She could get a job with the BBC, they love box-tickers
She's targeting people who have difficulty or inexperience with makeup. That's precisely two markets, made up of a diverse background of consumers.
Rule #1: Don't ever guess the numbers in front of the dragons.
Yes, honestly will get you much farther
Rule 1 would be do some homework and have a reasonable level of number sense.. or if you don't, bring your accountant along

What does the stretchy-ness of the product have to do with Cancer/ Trans community. I feel she had a product which didn't sell and gave it a shot to sell the emotion.
@@RoyRudraPrasad she should’ve said it’s for gays and minorities too.

The UK population isn’t something you should learn as part of market research. It’s just something you should know.

She is not from UK though

@@Khonnell66 😂😂😂 that was so accurate
This pitch was just a cringe-fest from start to finish. By her calculations, these islands should be rapidly sinking into the sea under the weight of all these bodies!!!
Also, the whole “I don’t see gender, colour, race, I just see people” thing....well, okay, perhaps that’s a nice sentiment in some kind of utopian paradise and before anyone jumps on me, this doesn’t mean I don’t believe in equality for all. But in reality we are all individuals and it’s things like race, colour, gender, sexuality, nationality which will affect the experiences you have in life and therefore make you the person you are. These aren’t things which can be simply swept aside- however good her brushes are! 🤣
yeah, but those experiences are all still 100% unique to each individual, and making assumptions based on race will be wrong 90% of the time. The number of times someone in my state has talked to a native african about african american culture and slavery as though all black people in america mustve been descended from American slaves would blow your mind.
The other point about this is that all these things (race, gender, sexuality, etc.) affect the nature of the market. Different products are pitched to different demographic groups. Men's suits, for example, are targeted at men not women. Nationality affects cultural attitudes, which have a huge influence on what people want to buy. That's why you can't ignore demographics in creating products, doing market research etc.
This woman's idea about uniformity - everybody being the same - is probably what led her to mess up her numbers. The population of the UK probably felt irrelevant to her, if she sees demographics as unimportant. When she came out of the den, she said she wasn't expecting to be asked questions about the market. She clearly hadn't done any market research; rather, she thought her ethos of equality would propel her to success.
@@xkimxangelx Couldn’t agree more Kimberley
This is why people should feel less and think more, this pitch was solely based on how she felt.
Typically the people saying "i DoNt SeE cOlOuR" are the ones who benefit greatly from their own skin tone.
To be honest, her pitch in the lift was more powerful than what she said in front of them.
No wonder UK voted for Brexit. 200 mil people clearly is too much. ;)

Well, she's still going strong with Kohl Kreatives. It appears the set of 5 brushes is the only thing available via retail purchase (currently $63.00 for the set). She has set the company up as a nonprofit -- that has definitely changed since her time in DD. She was born to Indian parents but raised in Hong Kong. Given that she needed a Dragon's investment in order to have inventory to sell and based upon her back stories available online and changing to a non-profit, I'm getting the impression that she may have had family resources to get her company off and running.
Thanks for the info
I thought you were going to say she's from the US - she sounds like she couldve been raised in Cali like me lol. I'm glad the business was able to continue I'm so happy for her
"I agree with you"
*you agree*
"Yes"
*Ok well then I'm out* 🙈🤣🤣
Oh, boy. She was throwing the numbers out more randomly than the lady in my local Bingo hall. 🤣
But overall a good product with a great purpose. Hope she does great in the future. 👊🏼
Yea she seemed like a very nice women but she just wasn't really fully prepared
My mum taught me how to use make up 😢😢 and it's made me the person I am today 😭😭
💯 was also worried about this comment too🤔🤐
yes, logic AF
I didn’t really find my identity until my dad taught me how to shave. Now I punch Somalian pirates in the balls for dabloons.
Wow. Itnis amazing how shity people can be with somebody else who is obviously...........
@@Carlos-Vallejo. she is obviously a series of dots?
Debrah: there’s just north of 63 million people in the UK… so how many of that is beauty industy?
Entrepreneur: around 35 million….
Half. Half?! 🤦🏻♂️
Perfect combination of appeal to emotion and virtue signaling to compensate a mediocre product that doesn't really solve any problem: recycled plastic, crying, mentions bullying, invokes obviously unrelated social justice issues.
I feel she could have brought up animal rights too, given her brushes aren't made of animal hair, but hey, can't tick all the boxes I guess.
If we really strech out things to a hardline, plastic is mainly made by oil. Recycled plastic is still an oil-product. Oil is old dead rotten dinosaurs. Ticking the box for abding to animalrights would be hard to do.
She's Indian. Really good at this sort of drama lol.

@@alexturlais8558 something only Indians can relate. Even if it tell, it would go over your head.
Telemarketers never lie though 🤪
She wasnt expecting the market size question? Has she never seen dragons den?
It’s a bendy brush, lol
Question: Do these people ever watch episodes of this show before going on it? 🤔 If they did, they might figure out that you have to have the numbers down cold. She was ridiculous.
She came out of the Den saying that she wasn't expecting questions about the market. Yet these questions are standard - they come up on almost every pitch.
Dude I think the same thing every time I watch Grand Designs. Kevin asks them how much is this house going to cost and how long will it take to build.
Every single one without fail grossly underestimates the cost by a good 50%. The 8 month time line they always have, invariably ends up over 2 years, sometimes longer.
I just think, who are these people. They applied to go on this show, don't they watch it at all? How can they think their build is going to be any different to the 20 year history of builders that have already been on the show. It's kind of infuriating, but also funny.
@@youtubevanced4900 Now ask a programmer how long it will take to write the program
The making up of numbers and getting caught out was really uncomfortable to watch
Haha I see what you did there ...
"making up of numbers"
Ha!
What I heard was "I was bullied for my looks so my mother told me to start looking better", what a shitty and frankly disgusting "inspirational" background story.
Sociopaths can't gauge what they say as accurately as others. They think they have a solid grasp on emotions.
Being a brown man, I couldn't agree more
I get the feeling she has got through life on bullshit and her smile. She tells the story of “ her struggles” being a cute petite little girl. 😭😭😭😭 she has no clue about her numbers and she is basically F.O.S.
Agree!
Yup.. I know bimbo like these a little too well.
@@strengthoverweakness i think that is a tab harsh to say . she is having a go, spoke very well under pressure unlike a typical bimbo? what ever that is ?

@@strengthoverweakness yes I do understand
. highly skilled in those shoes as well , not that I have ever tried a pair, not easy..:)
"Peter Jones gives Trishna the brush off" 😂
I sincerely doubt she was bullied. She switched her sad emotions on like a robot while talking about it.
Right? It's like she'd even rehearsed the "oh, I'm getting emotional line" in the mirror with how seemlessly it came out, and then within a second she was fine again.
Sociopaths push the globalist agenda like she does. They fake emotion and emotional outrage.
I guess you've never been to the UK. For the most part the people there are generally decent but there are still large numbers of jingoistic xenophobes.

Tej lavani is such a gentleman and a really nice man.
8:40 so by her logic, about 90% of the population is in the beauty industry. 9:08 And even when Deborah tells how large the population really is, it just changes to just over 50%.😆
Yeah... she should have given percentages cuz Deborah gave her that option and she could hopefully probably roughly estimate a percentage. AND instead of saying 'beauty consumers', say 'people that buy makeup brushes'. Beauty is WAY too vague and it isn't helpful. That could include men that buy face moisturizer.
The number of women that nearly burst into tears in the Dragons' Den is ridiculous.
Yeah I know it's not good. It seemed deliberate too bit I don't know why they think it's a gud thing to do. As a man it just makes me feel awkward.
Life is so much harder for women.
Men too
What's the population of the UK?
Trish: "About 200 million"
Touker: 😝
This comment with the emoji I’m dying 😂
Her reply.
"I know,tragic."
What a child.
That was the best bit 😂
"I am not racist in any way"
"I care about people"
"I was mad ugly, got bullied and now I look like another person completely"
"I also do not even know the population of the country"
I see a pattern here
‘I was bullied at school for my appearance, and then I discovered makeup, and it helped me be the person I am today’
Wowwww, so you were bullied at school like 99% of people were, and you put makeup on, and THAT made you the person you are today??
*clap clap*
@@tinderella2386 I was never bullied to a state where someone literally just wants to harm me physically or emotionally but I was made fun A LOT, between friends that did not know how to stop or some non friend classmates. Jesus christ if everyone got bullied and had to do one thing to litetally evolve as a person then something is really wrong here.
She might look the same, it's often the decent looking people who get told their ugly to keep them off the top of the social hierarchy.
@@tinderella2386 bit of a silly assumption. There are people who suffer from facial disfigurements that use make up and who were bullied. If you think that's 99% of children you jackass then you're as good on your numbers as the entrepreneur who thinks 200m is the population of the UK.
I was thinking the same thing but you coined it better than I could 😂😂😂😂
So here is a marketing expert who guessed on the population of her market and missed by140 million. I think the young lady didn't want a deal and used the Den as a showcase to advertise her brushes.
"I know, tragic 👁👅👁"
Actually cringed when she said that
God me too
Rarely does someone have a business who’s seeking a loan who doesn’t know the basic information on their business
Actually they do. I've watched some absolutely horrendous entrepreneurs over the years. Sometimes even arguing with their own business partners.
I too hate it when I'm unsure whether I am in York or Cork.
She seems so nice!! And such a lovely idea. Such a shame. A shame she didn't include makeup classes for people with motor problems as that's who the brushes are more geared towards and they likely also have dexterity issues.
She named the transgender, lhbtg and people with motor disabilities in the same breath. It was like they were all the same. Why does a transgender needs a special brush? And lesbians are not handicapped!
...um...I don't think 'nice' is the number one quality needed for entrepreneurs. Also, because she kept changing her numbers, I have no faith that those brushes are actually eco-friendly or recycled or whatever. She would have to bring me to the factory they are made in and show me. There would be a higher unit cost than 20p if they were made from recycled materials because of the sorting that she mentioned and the sterilization and whatnot. I'm not saying she's lying, I'm just not convinced she's 100% accurate.

'Guys' can be genderless, especially in the state's. They always use guys to address groups of male and female.

At least she's been honest.... something that lacks alot these days
@@NatalieCWilliams The problem is - she's not. She's just giving best possible answers to not antagonize anyone. And this is what ultimatelly brings this initally great pitch down.
If she just told she don't know the numbers instead of giving marketing answers, Dragons might have overlook it. But her background made her came up with ridiculous numbers that didn't made any sense and her whole credibility was put in question.
Forget the fact that we apparently have 200 million people living in the UK...What has a flexible brush got to do with transgenderism?
What has a rainbow flag got to do with people's sexuality lol? It's all tokenism anyway.
She lost me with accent and crocodile emotions. All Americans are actors with a camera in front of them.
Sarah is such a sweet soul !!
She held the young lady up.
So her solution to someone bullying another for their appearance is for the victim to wear makeup? rather than.. you know.. don't bully others
Perfect timing as always 👌
Trans people are trans, not disabled. I get why she's targeting the disabled community but why can't trans people just use any brushes? Seems like she's just exploiting what they go through and using them to virtue signal all the while claiming to see people as just people, not labels. The trans community in reality is also very small unlike what the media portrays so targeting them is not gonna make very much money. She should have just aimed it at the beauty world in general if it's really good enough INCLUDING the disabled community but not pacifically trans.
They have trans people in the Pacific now??
Sadly it's unreasonable not to know you're target market size. How can you project turnover and profit without that. And NEVER go to the Den unprepared for market depth questions.
12:40, Why would she openly admit her ignorance on TV? Lol
What do you mean? Its 200 MILLION
Why bash her for being honest? Smh
She came to Dragons Den UK and didn't know the market size, yet alone the population size. Whether she is honest or not, that deserves criticism.
Because she already demonstrated it
She had already shown she didn't know earlier in the video.
People that say "I do not see race,color, sex, age, I see people as people" and bs like that are usually racist af.
Yup
Exactly, there's nothing wrong with being genuinely colourblind and seeing people as people, but if you go around constantly preaching it, somethings up there.

200 million in american is 60 million in uk.......it’s the metric system!!

The day job stipulation from someone involved in multiple business ventures always irks me.
I think it's harsh that Peter expects people to give up their day job whilst working on their new business. Not everyone has his money that they can afford to go a few months without a regular paycheck, unless you have at least a year's worth of savings or a very supportive partner you'd be insane to give up your guaranteed money until your business started generating a sufficient income.
Not at all
It's testament to how devoted you are to the business
If you really believe in it
You will make it work
@@deepmystic5850 Please give me the names of all the supermarkets, landlords, and powre suppliers that allow you to pay them in belief?
Most of the business on dragons den fail even after an investment and even business that goes on to be succesful usually don't see any profit for 3-5 years
Doesn't matter how devoted you are or how hard you believe you'll be successful you still need to pay your bills until the business makes money.
I don't know about you but I don't know too many people that have 3 years' worth of savings.
Peter wants to invest in people that are putting everything into growing their business. Other investors might be happy to invest in people that are working full time jobs on the side, but just because they do doesn't mean it's unreasonable for Peter to not invest in them.
@@jacobthorpe4316 It is completely unreasonable to expect someone that isn't financially independent to give up employment to work in a business that might not see them make a penny for years.
“I totally wasn’t expecting the market size question, I don’t even know the population of the UK either.” So, she was pitching her products on a TV show produced in the UK, to UK based investors, and she wasn’t expecting them to ask her about the size of the UK market? Please stick to your day job where presumably you use your ability to sweet-talk business directors with more money than sense into forgetting about your business naïvety so you can spend their money.

And all the while Rory is hunting down seaweed
Of course an American comes to the Den with a sob story. Typical.
why are americans so prone to all this fake sob nonsense?

Know your numbers and know your audience!
Did she says her day job is a marketing consultant? 🤣😂...
No, she didn´t. She said she´s a rat catcher. Like all her forbears as far back as Elizabeth1.
Seen her type of before...! Imagine running a digital marketing company and know didley squat about what is an integral rule in advertising "know your market population". 😱 Knew she would cry at the end.
200m in the British Empire 🤣
At 2:11 I thought Touker was going to brush his teeth with it.
When you answer every question with a random number you've just made up 🤣
The whole pitch was cringe and the part that was the worst is when she said UK’s population is 200 million people
By the end of the video makes you kinda question everything else she said from the start lol
Peter smiled there because she actually asked the Dragon's for them to give her 20% shares of her own company, for £60k lmao
I can sympathize, I got into business without knowing a thing about my market and it was a disaster. Luckily I could just make more lemonade so the day turned out to be a success
This woman didn’t even realize that she was soooo ill prepared with information concerning the population target audience, information about each dragon’s background, but most importantly she did not know how to listen and adjust her answers to secure the deal. Foolish.
Did she say she runs a marketing consultancy, yet doesn't know the population of the nation she's operating in? Yikes.
200 million people in the UK.. I wonder I can’t walk anywhere and I live in a village! Over crowded 😂
This is the girl from the Millennial Interview video. She starts work at 10:45!
"wait so you work full ti..." ahh no, not this again Peter...
I like peters strategy.He does ask the right questions he is basically saying in a polite way please don't waste my time.
That vocal fry is really annoying.
Jeez, who did this woman's numbers, Diane Abbott?!
