I've seen loads of seasons and Richard is probably the classiest of them all. Kinda sad that they screwed him over and didn't bring him back... (he thought he was gonna be back for the new season and then they kicked him off)

Misleading and unfair title. He originally valued his company at £2M overall. He reduced that overall valuation to £0.33M. He said another company with a similar product was valued at £63M. Sort it out Dragon’s Den, there’s really no need for misrepresenting in this way.

The problem it solves is losing someone overboard at some point during the trip without knowledge of this happening. The entrepreneur noted at 6:18, that the RNLI and the US Coast Guard agree that if you know the location someone entered the water you’re 95% more likely to find them - that’s massive. I believe it’s pretty objective that this product solves a significant part of the problem it attempts to solve.

A cheap RF proximity detector could signal the overboard and cheap GPS would give continual coordinates (antenna needs to be above water).

I've no idea just how much of this may have been edited out but found it strange that nobody asked for details on production costs and retail price, the retail price especially would affect the numbers sold... would each crew member be able to carry one while on board, or would the costs dictate that the boat had just one or two that would be carried by anyone alone on watch on deck ?

having something like that attached to people on scuba diving tourist tours would have already saved multiple lives in Australia

Very well made pitch.

I can tell this episode is old. What year was it screened? The negotiation was very interesting.

Fantastic idea

My maths must be a bit out. According to the title the entrepreneur thinks his company is worth GBP63m. He wants 100k for 5%, I don't think that makes GBP63m but maybe the rules have changed since I went to school. A pity the title writer did not watch the video, the 63m was for a rival company floated in Australia. And finally surely he should not have welcomed someone 'on board' but rather 'off board'!

Very cool idea

Click bait title. This guy was actually very nice and respectful

I can think of severally potential flaws, number 1 being would the clip not fall off on impact with the water? It's not held on very well from what I can see here.

4:25 A glass of water won't work because sonar travels through water, with the massive air gap between that and the receiver the signal won't get back to it
