Azeez Gbolade, with his partners, came into the Den to pitch their Agritech business, Agricco NG, for a N2 Million investment for a 10% equity.
However, a lack of focus, amongst other issues, prove damaging to their investment request

I wish Azeez well. I actually think, his other partners would have contributed substantially to the pitch. Azeez did the talking and also the e commerce demo, so what's the need of coming with 2 other people? Also, he was too impatient. I wouldn't blame him though but I think he should learn to manage his emotions/reactions/self confidence better. All the best Agrico! I hope you effectively utilize the advice of the lions.

Perfect observations, at some point I felt irritated. I think he's the brain behind the business and rather too unintelligent to drive his pitch right from the beginning to the end. Interestingly their business model is fantastic but restructuring of the business model needs a great touch. I'm a Logistics expert and if I'm a lion 🦁, I see prospect in their business line only if they'll be ready restructure there business. Alerzo has a similar line of business and I'll have walked them through that line if they're willing to and also have 30-40% of the equity after they return my money in 3years because by then they'll have gone more globally

I don’t think it’s all about getting the money from the Lions, at this point the Lions were investing knowledge to Azeez and his team, you need more than money to handle a business, if theres money and not technical Know-how on management then it’s all a joke, cause at the end of the day you fall back to learn what you ought to have learnt from the starting point. All the best to them

From the first episode to this, so far you can sense how the lions are extremely cautious about investing in even the most bankable businesses pitched in the den. On top of the risk of investing in businesses and everything else, there is that existing distrust (because you can easily be scammed) in Nigeria that makes it even harder for investors to invest. I sincerely like that Nigerian investors and all other partners started this despite all of the challenges we look forward to more episodes and hope they lessen their understandable fear in the next season.

Well, sometimes, it's more than just getting the money. It's also the willingness to be humble and take whatever it is you did not expect. Good idea they have, but a good attitude can win a bad idea a better amount of money. He was desperate to succeed. But that desperation led him away from success at this time alone. I wish him the best.

You may walk out of the den with no monetary assistance, but the business advice you get Worth's a lot. He feels he has answer to all the questions which is wrong. They just told him what he should focus on instead of bringing all together. If you can't pay your salary from your business, how do you know you are doing good? I have made a similar mistake in a business before but Azeez is not ready to listen

Well, this Aziz guy has a WONDERFUL & INNOVATIVE Idea of PACKAGED FOOD, which would thrive SUCCESSFULLY with other FOOD BRANDS, if he has a much BROADER TARGET MARKET... So, based on his LIMITED DISTRIBUTION NETWORK and other VITAL ASPECTS, he is not FULLY PREPARED for FURTHER EXPANSION, therefore he needs to get back to the DRAWING BOARD and re-strategise his BUSINESS IDEAS & PLANS... And also, as one of the Lions have mentioned, 2 Million Naira is too small based on so much which has to be taken into CONSIDERATION...

Was on a lose lose, if you say "ok I will change the direction of my business" you going to get the response of ok good you starting again, come back later when we see if it works. So you need confidence in what you offering but then of course you give the impression you stubborn, the best compromise is along the lines of "I am open to input on better ways to take the business forward".

I do hope he took the strategic advice Mr Paul shared with him. He seems too impatient and has a character flaw which could not only be detrimental to his business but to his life as well; "Listening" is one of the most important principles of exchange and human interaction. If you don't seem investable as a person, an investor will likely not invest in your business.

At some point I was trying to put myself in Azeez's shoe here's an advice coming to me and I would like to prove that I'm listening so I wanted to ask, "is this what you're trying to communicate to me?" if I am going to do that I will definitely need to raise my hand or something like that... Honestly, he seems impatient but raising your hand doesn't necessarily display interjection, it could be to ask for clarification on a previous point... He seems not to comprehend what was been said and he aired his own interpretation of what was suggested to him... Just my opinion...

He also ddnt present himself as someone who's is ready to be mentored or schooled, he's so desperate
