Touker & Tej Clash Over Non-Dilutable Advisory Shares | Dragons' Den

Rutger Bruining, an entrepreneur who seriously impressed the Dragons with his biography writing service seeks an investment of £90,000 in exchange for 2% of his business, StoryTerrace. The only question is will he consider a higher percentage?
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.

    She's a great dragon, but in terms of net worth they are in different stratosphere. In fact, Jones is worth more than other four dragons combined. In 2022: *Peter Jones* is worth £1.157 *billion* *Sara Davies* is worth £37 million *Deborah Meaden* is worth £40 million *Touker Suleyman* is worth £150 million *Tej Lalvani* is worth £390 million Correlation is not causation, but I suspect picking holes in everything had something to do with the net worth of Pizza Jones.

    @@trevorcathcart7047 He's pointing out that 2% of Amazon would be something anyone should be willing to get out of bed for. Touker's famous line is that he 'doesn't get out of bed for a small percentage of a venture. Insanely large and profitable ventures 'should' be an exception to a rule like this. But because it's such a 'firm rule' the way he says it, people like to point out the instances where a small percentage stake would still be worth his while (and therefore point out why he'd be hurting himself with this commitment). A flip-side to this would be if you could imagine a shark saying: "I'll buy any deal if I get 50% of it." - you would likely see a lot of people pointing out absolutely ridiculous and absurd deals that are clear failures and flops just because this rule existed for this shark or dragon. People would be keen on pointing out that 'if you buy 50% of a bad enough deal, it's still going to really hurt you'. In Touker's case, his common saying is that he doesn't accept a very small stake in something. He doesn't 'get out of bed' for that insanely small number. People respond to this by showing cases where he might miss out based on this rule because the insanely small number of % could still be worth a great overall number (ie: 2% of Amazon). Thanks-!

These people came to rely on him and he became their "friend " doing the shopping and spending hours chatting and drinking tea etc while the whole time charging them for his 'help and understanding ' I wouldn't trust that guy as far as I could throw him.

Also if it's a flat fee then doesn't that create issues when it comes to if the customer is unhappy and issues with time in regards to referrals which would effect scalability?! I'm just surprised how Debroah went from basically saying it should be on Rough Traders to saying she wouldn't invest as she'd want to do loads more with it! The concept was exactly the same so it's very bizarre. I just think the dragons are inconsistent and a lot of it has to do with how they are feeling at the time.

    Most companies have an expected level of loss at the beginning - hell, even Amazon was making huge losses at the start. What makes it an interesting prospect is that, despite the losses, more and more investors are lining up, which means there's something there. Plus there's the fact that, while there is a loss, the company is still growing. And, if you watched, the 5% that was ultimately granted was undilutable.

    I think that was a little different, it involved specifically targeting older people with stories to tell, they wanted in the region of £9000 per customer, regular meetings over tea and cake and to be able to upsell extras. This is a similar concept but for the third of the price and aimed at anyone, with only one meeting with a matched writer.

    I had a look as well as I thought it was interesting what you said. Their 2020 accounts are unaudited where they made a £2.6m loss and though they have a large debtor balance of £1.2m, only £45k of that are Trade Debtors. The 2019 accounts are minimal with barely any detail, so really difficult to gauge an accurate picture. As far as them being a going concern, I would be surprised if they survive much longer. Investors are getting no return and I can’t see an exit strategy on this. It’s a great idea though, but I would love to know where they are burning their money. Must be poor marketing.

    @@djpeekay25 Just because accounts are unaudited, doesn't mean a company can play fast and loose with them - but I get your point. On reflection, calling a balance sheet recording a £2.6m loss "very healthy" was perhaps a little too positive on my part. However, what kills companies is a lack of cash flow. As you pointed out, they have a £1.2m debtor balance - almost double that of 2019. They've got £800k cash in the bank with less than £300k in external creditors to pay - and no outstanding long-term creditors. So "on paper" it looks like they have sufficient liquidity and shareholder capital to absorb the losses as they try to establish this new market. I'm actually quite skeptical that they'll succeed but considering all of the above, as long as they keep their shareholders sweet they might just do it. BTW I'm not an accountant feel free to correct me!
