@Jessica7318

This is a great comment, so to answer this, I think one of the things we have to keep in mind is that it's very easy to look at this like a judging competition. Someone does a good pitch, or has a good product, and we don't understand why they don't get an investment. We think they did great and when the dragons give a reason for not investing, we scrutinize that reason, as we should. I think it's easy to look at this show from the Entrepreneur's point of view. We can say: "The entrepreneur nailed it, and as such, they deserve an investment." Meanwhile, from the dragon's point of view, a very real reason for why they may not invest is just that it doesn't 'feel' right. That is to say, they can think someone else would do better. They can also think their capital is better spent on another business that gives them a better return. The reason we don't hear this deal often (though Kevin O'leary is very honest about it) is that it doesn't seem fair to the entrepreneur. Let's take this guy for instance. He's got a decent business with fairly nice numbers. However it's nothing mind boggling. I may look at this pitch and think: "This entrepreneur does deserve investment, but... I'm not the one to do it.". I may feel like my capital can get me a better return on another pitch. I may feel like I can make 20% or 10% from investing in this guy, putting in some time and work with him, or... do I have a better chance of another pitch being something that's right in my wheelhouse. Do I feel like there's a better chance to come across a deal that will give me 30% or 40% or numbers that are twice as good as this guy's. Do I feel like a better opportunity will surface that I can feel more excited by? If I feel that way... this guy will not get an investment simply because I'm not as excited about his idea as another. It also means I will not give him money because I want that money on hand to use if I find something else I like. This is very unfair to this guy because he may hit it out of the park. He may do the best he can, and still not get a deal simply because I can think someone else will do better than him, or someone else will pitch a business that I'm more excited by. Someone else may give me more return for my money if I put it in with them instead of him. So this is why a lot of entrepreneurs can get squeezed for bigger percentage gains. It's not just what's 'fair' to them. It's the fact that I can leverage my money to give someone else the chance. If I wanted to be very ruthless as a dragon, I could say: "I'll invest in you, and I'll take 30%." And if the entrepreneur finds that unreasonable or unfair and doesn't want to do it, asking why they should... I can respond with: "Because if you don't take the offer, I'll intentionally enter the market and compete with you. I'll squeeze your margins, I'll use my contacts in the industry to edge you out and put you out of business. Its a contact sport and now that you have my attention, you'll either take my deal, or I'll crush you." - This sounds like bullying and very unfair to the entrepreneur, but it's a reason a dragon could put a high price on their involvement. It is simply a play of: "You are paying me to support you, and not oppose you. That's why you'll give me what I want." etc. So all in all... when you see a business where the dragons seem to have a silly reason not to invest, it might help us to look at it from the other side. The dragon may feel like the prize of this investment is not worth it compared to the chance of something else. If this guy was making millions in net profit, and came to the dragons to get them involved, they might make him an offer even if the idea didn't excite them too much simply because it's a great chance to partake in that net profit. They don't have to put in much work and they can leverage their connections and image, etc. What's more, other ideas are not likely to be this good by the numbers. So passing up this deal is harder for them to do. If the deal is a 130,000 net profit business with a bit more risk, they may feel their odds of finding a better business justify not using the money on this one, etc. We can always think the dragons have a bottomless pit of money. I watch pitch after pitch and there could be a tonne I love. But it's unrealistic for me to think the dragons will give money to all these 'deserving' ideas. Kevin O'Leary is quoted as saying in one of the pitches: "You can take my money and my offer, or you can walk out that door. But if you walk out that door, you're dead to me. The next guy can come in, he'll get my money, he'll be incredibly successful, but not you." - And this is very harsh, but it's the mindset of why dragons can treat deals like something for them to manipulate to their liking. If you agree to the terms, you can get their backing, if you don't, they don't 'need' you. They are reasonably capable of assessing that someone else can get investment from them and make them a better return than you could. Of course there could also be a case where you hit it out of the park and they regret turning you down, or other ideas just frustrate them and they don't hear one that they liked as much as yours, then they missed out. But that often depends on how good your deal is relatively. Very high profit businesses often get offers from the dragons, even if the entrepreneur turns it down or is looking more for exposure. So that's pretty much it hehe. Dragons may turn down a 'decent business' because they're looking for a good business. Dragons can turn down a good business because they're looking to hawk a 'great' business'. And sometimes dragons will invest in a 'decent' business to 'take a punt' (if you've heard this term used to justify their good deal by the numbers) if they feel like it on a given day hehe.

It can be expensive to rebrand. Yes they are millionaire investors but the cost can put them off. Since they are stocked in asda I can imagine they have already manufactured a lot of packaging and labels in advance. Plus the manufacturer would have to change the stamp they use for labels which costs money as well as stop production in order to swap out the old with new, which can cause delays in orders if its not done smoothly, etc. Its probably the hassle as well. Since the food market is so competitive it just comes down to; do you want to invest in a company that needs more work or invest in a company thats perfect and good to go.

Not really, branding takes a lot of work, time and resources.

I've had soup by them before, it was really good! Not often I see brands I've personally purchased on here, nice

On Shark Tank in the US when there is an issue with packaging, the sharks point out exactly what's wrong and how it could be improved. Once the business person refused to change the packaging and lost making a deal. Just like people eat with their eyes first, packaging is almost everything.

I will keep a look out for this if they are still around next time I am in Asda! I dont remember seeing it...

I think they were wrong about the branding. It's extremely on point for a certain demographic at the moment.

Watmuff,Beckett and Jenkins, got quite a ring to it ! ..

I love this brand. It stands out from the rest of it boring contenders. It has a luxurious look of quality and taste. 🥰

@@ianlister7333 Sharks are also much more elite entrepreneurs than the Dragons, unfortunately the wealthiest Dragon is akin to the poorest Shark. Sharks have pretty inhumane ego levels.

It seems like ASDA no longer sell this product. It's no longer on ASDA's website, and you can't buy it in store. Has anyone else seen it in ASDA recently?

Good deal. Good man.

Jenny must be really sad she didn't get to eat any of those free samples

Whenever I hear the prices of things I think why don't they just sell it in the USA. $3 for a canned soup is basically the cheapest soup we have here.

£2.20 for a nice meal at work. Well worth the money.

Good luck to them.

Why does Touker take his glasses off to eat?

Wotmuff? Would be a great name for a...ahem, *rythm* magazine.

It handles well and uses only fresh ingredients, although it could be doing with a trim around the bikini-line area! Not my words, Carol, but the words of Wotmuff? magazine!

souper excited haha!

Touker really likes the word credible

Why are the dragons always so critical of the product when it's not perfect to their standard i.e. missing something on the label, the branding isn't the flashiest etc. A dragon working with the investor can recommend a graphic design update, get their team to come up with concepts and put the new and improved version back into market. What's pretentious of the dragons is they always want the product itself to be ready-to-go from day zero. So many supermarket brands change up their graphic design and introduce it as a flashy new product on a near 1-2 year basis. Just look at the likes of Pringles, Coca-Cola etc. to name a couple obvious big ones. If the product ticks all other boxes, which in this case, it did, then take the investment and improve where it lacks. The other dragons seem only interested in putting minimal effort in and saying they can open doors and have contacts to put these products on the shelves, and that's it. Nick Jenkins seems to be the most down to earth Dragon in this pitch, seeing that with just a few minor improvements the product's fine and ready to go to the marketplace. He's got a trick here for sure that the other dragons were too proud to see. Upon reading up on this the branding didn't even change and the business is still going and thriving. Kudos to Nick for not getting caught up in such a minute issue.

I love how much his voice cracks T_T

Now there's a woman who knows where the peas are grown.

I heard if you poured a pot of Watmuff and Becket's under the bonnet, it'll really soup up your engine.

Seems like a rather safe investment.

Damn how many pitches did they have that day?

Avocado Ressoto is how my Gran died, she was out on life support from the fresh flavor and didn't last a week in hospital

I think it is more to do with the amount of money and time to invest to mass market the product that put them off, the rebranding excuse is a cop out

He got a good deal, souper!!

Peter probably never has Fortnum and Madon's food, his wife probably orders it and he only sees F&M abbreviation on their bills. :-)))

Dragon's den: come for the show, stay for the dad jokes

Ive seen a soup pitch before and it was ridiculous in price compared to the 2 cups of soup you got (i think its called Soupergirl). This seems alot more reasonable.

10:20 - Deborah: "If it helps, I'm already regretting going out, Nick. But I have, and that's the rules of the den." I think my issue with this is that we've seen people go out and then come back in? I recall seeing several pitches where Dragons turn around and say: "Well I was out, but now, I may be back in." or they hear something that's changed or a piece of information is divulged that they like, and so they say: "Well I was out, but given this... yeah, okay, I'm going to make this offer." Maybe I'm cross-referencing shows as I often watch alot of Dragons Den UK... Australia, Canada, Shark tank, etc.
