Depends on the individual in both cases. Engineering is an exact discipline, finance isn't. It is practically impossible to come up with a truly accurate valuation, estimation and guesswork are inevitable parts of the process. Imagine a much younger Jeff Bezos pitching his new online bookshop to the dragons. Would they have negotiated a deal? There's a lot of risk there, nobody knew it was going to be worth billions.

I agree .... but they got the finances wrong even so . 10 subs at 600 costing 350 to make means 2.5 million potential total assets post investment . A 1.5 investment at 45% which creates assets worth 1.2 means it would lose money until year 5 . If at year 5 they sold a further 4 the dragon would have all their cash back and a further 400 grand . This is without a further reconsideration of what they are selling . If its a viable purchase with bispoke fitting to boats theres yet more money to be had from this . Not only this but if the product is better than the comp and yet 25% cheaper it would take nothing to pitch it higher not lower which would not impact on the sales figures but could or would return the investment within year 3 . All of these people are in a position to know personnaly there customer base ..... I think they made a mistake .

I’d expect that their demo craft isn’t the most reliable version that they could make. I’d bet that it’s the first time craft they have put together fully and the money from the dragons would likely go towards extensive testing and revision to create a more reliable craft for tours or selling. If someone sold tours in a prototype car that has been designed from the ground up from a company that hasn’t made a full production car before I’m sure that car would be breaking down every tour. I wouldn’t want to be 300m down if something bad happens.

These two engineers were right to be cautious about making promises to the dragons. They were totally honest. They came into the den wanting financial and business expertise to take their company forward. Instead they were ridiculed for their lack of business acumen, but they never claimed they were smart business people! James Caan’s brutal comment that they ‘didn’t know what they were talking about ‘was not only unjustified but wrong. From an engineering point of view they did know what they were talking about! Their concept is brilliant! They were also honest and transparent with their figures! That’s the problem with this show. It sometimes doesn’t capitalise on really good idea. I believe that these two engineers gave a good account of themselves but the dragons sadly misjudged them and hence missed a great opportunity to invest in an exciting and innovative new product!

£3 million is a hell of a lot of money even for them. That's supposing it doesn't sell higher. Along with the fees involved in buying them out. £3 million on an industry they know nothing about with a product they know nothing about, a lack of customers and business plan and on top of all of that they likely don't have the time to be putting on such a large purchase. Even if they put their managers into the company, the money they asked for and for only 45% is just not going to happen. The only way I could see the dragons making this investment is if these two guys nailed their pitch. But that pitch was terrible. So so bad.

I do think the person who writes the blurbs for these videos is an under appreciated genius.

My first question as an investor would be asking them if there is even a regulations field for privately owned submersibles. I'd ask for full documentation on this machine having passed safety regulations for submersibles and then inquire as to whether it's even possible to just simply own a small sub and use it the same way as you'd do with a small plane or a small boat. There may be a field of regulations for this but I never heard of such.

The submarine reminded me of that sub in star wars with quigonjin and obiwan and quoted " there's always a bigger fish"

I just have a strange feeling the private submarine business is going to implode on itself someday and for that reason I'm out

Duncan:What assets? (5 Times) I think Theo needs to explain what assests.

Jenny isn't in this pitch. For that reason, I'm out.

Great show and the dragons really know how to make this show a nice catch

Such a classic episode. From Theo's money dance to what assets x5

Certainly one of the coolest things to come into the den. That submarine looks awesome I would love to sit in it. It's a big project for the dragons to invest in, in cash and equity. I don't really understand what specifically the buisness is about and does

Priceless. Best video so far 👍🏻👍🏻🤣

It might be that their competition Ocean Gate might be out of business soon

James Caan would invest £900 for 100% equity of that inner child

The whole argument ended the moment Peter solidly stepped up with a brief example of financial accounting literacy.

I love that people from the UK are so honest, and straight forward...

They are offering up 45 percent of their company. They aren’t looking for an investment they are looking for a business partner.

The problem is that they're looking for a business partner when they should be looking for a baby sitter. The dragons have no knowledge of the industry, they don't have to time to be baby sitting some clueless idiots and they definitely aren't going to do it for 45% while risking a significant amount of their money on that. If these guys had a solid pitch, they could have gotten an investment. But these guys are too much work. They don't have the right personality for business and they have no knowledge or experience in it. No chance.

Dragon’s Den is primarily a place where entrepreneurs go to get investment for businesses they will themselves run. What these guys were after, and which was strongly implied by their willingness to make a dragon the largest shareholder, is a CEO. I get the feeling they don’t want to run the company, which is totally respectable but not really what the den is about. They want be the CTO and COO, handling the engineering and operations management, while the CEO does the financials and plans the strategy, etc. Nothing wrong with such a setup, but DD wasn’t the place to sort it. Hopefully someone watching realized this was an opportunity for them and got involved.

Little did they anticipate the great fall in demand mid 2023

This was the best Dragons Den episode I have seen.

This was amazing

What I wanna know is, how the heck did they get that thing inside that room? Did they assemble the whole thing there or is that room lacking a wall somewhere?

I love Duncan so much ahhhh finally I see him again in this tv show yay

one of the best episodes.

All of them arguing at the same time was so funny, I was crying from all of the laughing I was doing.

I'm surprised no dragons asked if they could build more than the project number if more confirmed orders came in.

9:18 .... James Caan ..."regressively, I'm out" ....

Theo: Its in assets. Duncan: WOT ASSES WOT ASSES WOT ASSES WOT ASSES
