He couldn't see past the end of his nose on this one. "Why is it better than a normal chess set?" Because you can fold it up instantly and take it with you mid-game, doofus. And it's actually a completely different way to sell MULTIPLE types of board games. But even worse, the guy insisted that it had no value and kept going on about it.

He killed that negotiation
Steven was knocking on this man's credentials by saying he didn't know how to run a business, only knew how to create products, thinking everyone else would think and do the same, and when it didn't happen, and to his surprise, not only did the others make great offers but came in under the asking amount he wanted.

Yes, to be honest i think Sara alone would be the best option since crafting could be part of the business but if Peter will get the other company to he could take it really far with all the productions. Tucker can also take it really far to the baby's world and that's why he fought for this. I love Deborah but on this one I can't see how she will push it 😅

I LOVE how Sarah is the only one that is not money hungry if he wanted both he would've said but ge said only one Peter is money hungry everytime he finds out theres another business makin money he ALWAYS wants that also n makes it seem like they have to put them better
Even if I lost all 5/6 dragons, I’d still ask Tuker for office space. In fact, I may do it now even though my startup is in Singapore.
"Try it" - Same guy who was too nervous to talk in the beginning
This is a great example of talent over messing a pitch up and getting a offer, well done to the dude!
I think this is where they realized Seven Bartlett is not a businessman and is not an "entrepreneur". He's an instagram joke.
5 times a dragon has helped/encouraged someone to finish their pitch
Indeed a rare one walks in and bags a brilliant deal🎯💯‼️

Not sure why he wouldn't ask Peter and Sarah to combine. Those would have brought different things to the table. Now het gets two pretty much in the same area.
“And it’s completely recyclable”
I mean, top 3 in the world This guy could be inventing the next holograms we use to detect counterfeit cash notes
I came for the video and stayed for the comments, honestly
He might have stumbled on the pitch but his product is just so good that he got so many great offers.
I saw this pitch years ago on Sky Paperview
This is probably the best performance I've ever seen in the den
Absolutely brilliant. If I saw it in a store I would buy it without a doubt
This is a ridiculously good product, bordering on “the best thing since sliced bread”! Steven’s comment “there is a difference between a great product and a business” is just nonsensical; there are plenty of one product companies that have had stellar success!
What an absolute legend, a master of his craft.
"Some things that are cool aren't necessarily better" but in this case it literally is!
I love how the pitches on dragons den arent all phony and over the top like sharks tank. Editing is much better too.
I saw the queen's gambit shirt and fell in love
His shirt is the queen's gambit just fyi

Bro doesn't play chess this is a great project
I can't complain, I have actually frozen like that in front of groups of people too. I have been watching a lot of chess players, and I have never seen them even talk about fold up chess boards.
Sara would have the better choice
Currently retailing at £18.99 offer price £9.99. Reviews are mixed with complaints mainly being based on strength
I didn’t know Occy had an English accent and paper engineering skills
I haven't seen this business pop up yet.
One of the most interesting socio-economicaly .
I have never seen Steven invest. I don’t know what he is here for
My parents had a paper shop … until it blew away in the wind. Mr Toad? I can’t …
From a shaky start to getting more than anyone here thought he would. Good on him
He did really well here ! Well done
this business pops
Both of those board would fit nicely in the back of my rucksack
Poor Deborah - got out-manoeurved without any right or reply. The look on her face at the end was priceless!
Intrepernuer: " Thank you. Hhmmmm. Thank you. Hhhmmm. That's great. Hhhmm."
He did a great job with his decision.
Do that many people play chess? Is there a big enough market for this? I know he said he'd do other popular games but still.
the Dragons know this guy gets a steady stream of commissions, taking a % of those makes this much more low risk. The only question is how much will he need help to run the business side, when the big ticket commissions come in.
