Working at a recycling plant I can let y’all know, stuff like this is stacked in containers for years cause it’s a waste of time to break them, remove the electronics and grind 1 gram of plastic.

Seemed like a humble chap, glad it turned out well
a rare pitch where you know he does not need £40,000, but also you do know why he is in the Den. That money is safe, he can buy them out at any point.

How can he buy 30% back when the company grows it huge 😮
these are the worst form of single-use plastic. he has made single-use plastic un-recyclable. no recycling centre will spend time removing the electronics from the bottoms of these. This is irresponsible.

@@swegatron2859 I'd disagree. I was born in 1982 and I clearly remember that already in elementary school they were bombarding us with lessons in recycling. People started being concerned about it in the 70's. Of course this thing grew over the years but it's not like everyone was non-chalant about it in the 2000's. Creating unnecessary waste wasn't ok even back then.

I still don't understand, why an entrepreneur still choose to let go 30% instead of initial 8% for such amount, when ur already existing business can generate it in a year or so y don't dey reinvest and partner with retailer ?

Peter has a lot more credentials in the business world. That's ultimately what matters more, especially when you deal with Chinese contacts. On top of that, he can probably buy-out Peter once he's gotten the value that is Peter's little black book.

Why single use tho? What a waste

So Duncan is out because the factory pays its rent. Theo is out because batteries can’t be recycled. Deborah is out because… someone else did something somewhat similar. Absolute knobs.
I don't understand why this would be an investment. The patent he has on this can't be that good if there are already competitors doing it, looking very similar. I think Deb hit it on the head, that there were already competition doing very similar things at the time. I'm surprised they didn't ask more questions about the patent itself, or maybe they just didn't show it.
go see what companies the dragons own an ask yourself if they care about enviroment lol

I fking hate when they pretend to be so ecologically concerned. A trip with their yachts or jets will pollute x100 more than the few tons of plastic waste.
pitched valuation: £500,000 peter’s offer/final valuation: £133,333 (declined counter-offer valuation: £160,000) anytime I watch one of these pitches, the first thing I do is punch their numbers into my calculator to figure out the entrepreneur’s proposed valuation. the quickest way to do it is cross-multiplication - you multiply the amount requested by 100, and then divide it by the percentage of equity on offer. so for this pitch, it would be: amt requested - £40,000 equity offered - 8% 40,000✖️100 🟰 4,000,000 4,000,000➗8 🟰 500,000 and so the entrepreneur’s proposal values his business at £500K. peter’s offer for 30% equity values it at ~£133K. if peter had accepted the 25% counter-offer, it would have effectively valued the business at £160,000. :)
