My BBC's Dragons Den Pitch - I need an Investor
UKDanceStyle started this topic @ 12:01 on 17/04/2009
Hi everyone,
Around two weeks ago I decided to apply for BBC's Dragons Den to ask for an investment for a business idea that I had when I was 13 years of age. For the past 4 years I have been trying to make that idea into reality and I have put quite a bit of money into the whole business concept.
Anyway let me get to the point, when you apply for Dragons Den it allows you to put your DOB from the year 1990 and downwards because you have to be over 18 to apply. However I thought I would give it a shot at applying just to see if the producers would find any interest and whether the business would be Dragons Den worthy.
Out of thousands of applications the producers got in touch and I filled in all the necessary applications. So everything was going smoothly.
Then they asked for ID as this was the last step before filming. Obviously they found out yesterday I was 17 years old. Yesterday the producer gave me a ring and said that she was very dissapointed not to have me on the show. I am dissapointed aswell but I did know that I would not make it on the show because of my age.
I am still looking for an investor and I have uploaded the original pitch for the show on youtube. Sorry its a bit rubbish I could not read off the screen so I was adding a few words that I shouldnt have. But its better to be original I think. I think it was in the space of an hour when I thought I will apply to the show then sent it off.
Feel free to look at my pitch on youtube

Hi,
Looked for the pitch but could not find it! Your link does not work!
So I was wondering what exactly do you want from an investor and are you still willing to go on dragons den if it was possible?

Hi Everyone
Sadly I have had to take the link offline as I have managed to secure one investor for part of the sum I require,
Hi Rally, sadly I do not think I would go on the show. I have already given my word to an investor who wants to invest. All I require is the finance and I can get the business up and running within the summer.
Hi Tim, I can email you the video pitch if you are interested in investing in a business for £28,000. For a good share.
If anyone wants to know more about the business please email me on marcel46@hotmail.co.uk.
Thank You.
