This was Steven's business. He's young, knows digital marketing, straight away MENTIONED that aspect of their business was lacking. They totally forgot the other Dragons existed for a moment. Beautifully done hope it takes off !

It's so funny how the dragons are shocked. The guys got a great offer and they took it, why wait for the other older dragons, who don't get it, to lowball you.

Not really? He just did what they all do in every episode for every pitch, and the guys just chose to accept it instead of listening to the other dragons. He didn't do anything particularly unique or special, that's why the other dragons were so baffled.

@jechtx7368 I'm not sure I agree, when they suggested a new deal with him fronting all of the money he seemed to immediately notice that they had no intention to even entertain a split deal. He saw that they laser focused on him and he grabbed that, he laser focused on them in return and used their preference to to give a counter which he thought would be perfect for them and him, and also one which would likely eliminate them snapping out of the focus and considering any other dragon. I think he was very intuitive.

WOW, that was fast. This is the first time I've seen someone come in, pitch their idea, and right off the bat, one of the Dragons gets the deal without any other Dragon having a chance to give any offer whatsoever, and the look on their faces was priceless and surprised. I'm sure Peter would have given an offer, especially after he heard the entrepreneur say at 4:10-4:18, Millions can be made.

The first offer Steven made was for half the money and he said he wanted the expertise of one of the other dragons. Everyone seems to have missed or overlooked that. After his initial offer the entrepreneurs countered and Steven took the counter offer. Why is everyone so shocked?

What’s up with the editing? There isn’t one wide shot that showed the dragons and the entrepreneur at the same time (I’m 5 minutes into the video). It makes it seem like it’s a fake pitch and they use clips from previous episodes to make it seem real. I know it’s not the case but for the first couple minutes I was questioning if this was fake or not.
