To all those saying she gave away too much: it was basically a full team up or give up now. There's so much wrong with the commercial side of her business, it was actually the right move even if 45% is a lot. But keeping 55% is better than no business at all.

She gave away nearly half of her business for 100k , without any hesitation. And the counter offer, was just a mere... non conscious reaction. She was just stoke to receive an investment and no doubt would have accepted £75k for the same amount of equity she gave away. How long would it have taken for her to raise the £100k investment to return it back? Probably go into debt, to pay it back. Also what percentage did she want back? No clue because it was a mere un conscious response.

I don't see why they can't present a balance sheet or something to assist in their pitch. Requiring them to remember the numbers off hand is really annoying.
