This Outcome Is Very Rarely Seen In The Den | Dragons' Den
Ойын-сауық
Sculptor, Guy Portelli is next to face The Dragons with his Pop Icons Collection which celebrates some of his favourite musicians. Guy aims to create eighteen sculptures within this collection and he's seeking an investment of £70,000 for 20% of his business. The specific deal he's seeking in The Den is 20% of a hundred sculptures from his portfolio as he sells and creates the same sculpture dependant on sales and demand.
Season 6, Episode 6
An international sensation, Dragon's Den features entrepreneurs pitching for investment in the Den from our Dragons, five venture capitalists willing to invest their own money in exchange for equity.

WOW, the way he leveraged Duncans offer for an extra 10% and actually got it really shows he has a level of business acumen rarely seen in creatives

Would he not need copyright/royalty rights from his subjects reducing the profits?Though most seem dead anyway.
This is probably the most impressive pitch i've ever seen, just on the basis of being outside the Dragon's confort zone, upending their expectations, and then proposing something that seems like a clear win.
Duncan's smile of respect for the gentleman's business acumen is charming

Lol they have to build up reputation and following over a number of years and be able to attract a number of buyers with a big marketting expense. It's not a case of calling your garage a gallery and charging people 50% to sell things out of there

WOw! This guy is ahead of our time. " How can I become a millionaire?.hmmmm? I know, let me create these sculptures and that will Make me a millionaire!"
Copyright infringement for sure. He's not just capturing the celebrities' likeness, he's using their actual name. They deserve their royalty. This guy is going to get sued and I am surprised no one saw it. He's capitalizing on existing artists' work and leveraging it to boost his own. If it were just some woman's head, it would sell for nothing.
Deborah is such a fool . All she had to do is invite her friends to a party ffs
