He was unusually well prepared. I think the CD answer was unreasonably punished. He did give a straight answer to a straight question

Just a few seconds after getting a bashing from Duncan... Theo: "Hello, I am Theo" Guy: "I know you are Theo :) "

He seemed like a nice man, there wasn't any need for them to be this harsh

He should be named James Calm

This is from 2008, this man is still in business. If you check the website, it says it was rebranded and they seem to be doing well. He made the right choice. Happy for him.

Whats everyone eating while they watch this gem of a video

They wanted 40% of the business which includes a property worth 540k. They basically offered to take away 40% of his business for free with no risk.

11:52 - Theo straight out of a Guy Ritchie movie 🤣

Experiance??? You guys drunk already?

Poor people mine diamonds on slavery wages and men in suits make millions doing nothing

R.I.P Clive

Diamonds are such a scam

The greed from these guys is unreal. They wanted 40% of his business and asked him to include the premises that the business operates from. They also wanted him to remove his directors loan which is basically the salary that he withdraws. Lmao how ridiculous!

My name is Clive.....Trotter.

Large tin of pek and chip's with 5 slices of bread and a big bag of maltezers for tea for me this evening 😂😂

What is the punishment for breaking one of the most fundamental rules of the den?

Excellent peter

Barbara: you clearly followed all fundamental rules in growing the business so im out

Whats your background, its brick wall, sorry i took you literally!

YT auto generated captions … Theopuss 😂

Oh god, Calm down and pick your nails debby. It is one thing to mention something but the way that thing goes on lol

Sometimes people don’t understand that they have a different view on what they want and how to live with their life in a different world and how they can be more comfortable and happier and more productive in a way that’s more important.

Now everything's sold only even diamonds

With his level of profit of 3k i am surprised he got the offer he did

What a terrible name for such a high end product...so tacky!!

He does look like a Clive

Either his idea isn't all that unique, or his SEO sucks.

He talked about fightclub

Anyone what happened to this after the show? I’m guessing he changed the name because diamond geezer doesn’t show up on google

Experiance

Can you imagine getting proposed to with a ring box that says diamondgeezer on the back 🤣🤡

Did he say he runs the business from a commercial premises in Bourton on the Water? I live here and have never heard of him or his company.

3 dragons for 60% equity all at the same time would be too much for any founder. They will eventually butt heads with each other if the business takes off. Better to allocate that equity to passionate cofounders who will actually work and grow your business with you on a daily basis and then dilute your shares later when the time comes for more capital.

Would have been smarter to negotiate deferring rather than writing off the director's loan and letting them have the 40%. He'd have a better chance of getting his own 100k back with 3 other people invested in growing the business than owning 100% of 3k a year on his own.

Good on him for not taking what they offered, 40% plus the property was too much

He forgot his fake diamonds

He would have made millions more with those 3 you just have to consider yes you’re giving away 40% but you’re making a much bigger profit than before!

Smart move not taking the deal. Now he gets to keep 100% of a couple grand every year instead of 60% of the few hundred thousand per year that 3 dragons could have helped to build.

What is a CD? When was this made?

12:32 SimCity 4 region music

FFS, can't spell "experience".

he got so ripped off..

James is such a sheister

Experience

Sorry but the dragons are just rude! No amount of money can buy manners!

Dookan is completely wrong, engagement rings are NOT the most common item sold on the internet.

Experience, not experiance 😂

Wacky stuff

I ❤ Deborah

This guy grinded my gears. Slighlty irritating attitude about him.

And this channel's editor has zero years of English experience.

These “dragons” are the most boring humans I have ever seen. This show is like watching paint dry.

anytime I listen to 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 - £255,000 equity offered - 15% 255,000✖️100 🟰 25,500,000 25,500,000➗15 🟰 1,700,000 and so the entrepreneur is valuing his business at £1.7M if he had accepted the dragons’ offer, it would have effectively valued his business at £637,500
