They’re so manipulative when they say they’re out.

Is that Tim Cook

I'm sorry but Peter's reasoning is plain stupid, the dataset's value is actually related to WHERE are the users, not how many are there. For example if their users are evenly distributed throughout the country, let's say there's a user per square kilometer, then you have 40 thousand square kilometers covered
@mcprofacy April 15, 2024 - 11:39 pm
I enjoy Dragons Den with the best of em, but I was tempted to say I'm out myself after his valuation. 2.5% for 250k is almost too stupid to countenance.

Still watched. Still enjoyed.
@Elite7555 April 15, 2024 - 11:39 pm
Actually, 14,000 users is more than enough to judge signal strength nationwide. Of course, in reality, users aren't distributed uniformily, but they are concentrated towards larger cities. But that's completely fine because that's where most potential users live anyway (obviously). I nontheless agree with Peter that they should also take coverage maps into account.

That's nobill gates 😂😂
@MamaSymphonia April 15, 2024 - 11:39 pm
I don't even understand what this guy's business is. Who, in 2019 when this episode aired, would have payed money to get unofficial, third party crowd sourced information about cell phone signal strength?

I bet that price comparison company CEO was at home yelling at the tv “LIAR “!

"I think you are delusional". That's why I loved these shows. Reading all the comments below, especially the one about a Nigerian prince, makes me laugh all the way to the toilet and back, and I just have to go again.
He could sell the stuff his smoking..... Please, you guys are killing me.

I live in a third world country and the small convenience store of my building makes more than 60k per year.

So, it's cloud-based platform which supports cloud infrastructure which is the best everything at any time(?)

With all the money Tej has, why won't he get a nose job?
@dizzylilthing April 15, 2024 - 11:39 pm
Not so fun fact, he stole thousands upon thousands of dollars from creditors and shorted people who worked for him until this firm collapsed and he jumped ship, using money to start a new venture instead of paying those that he already owed money.
@Chillypuwn April 15, 2024 - 11:39 pm
Sorry but Peter is actually the braindead person here. 40.000 is more than enough to cover services in a country like England. You dont need 1000 people for one city. 3-4 people living in different area in a city will do just fine. The only coverage that is slightly difficult is the countryside with little population.
@allan2098 April 15, 2024 - 11:39 pm
He's either lying or very stupid. Seems like a well educated chap..

Isnt this the guy from Kitchen nightmares?
@Finkelfunk April 15, 2024 - 11:39 pm
What really bothers me about these is that the idea in and of itself is actually quite good. You could save so much money if you actually implemented this properly. You could make deals with phone companies to get commissions for each signed contract and have a platform integrated to switch your cell phone provider, that way you could even make the app go free. The user data generated for it would help improve accuracy of the service.
This is something that would be useful, shame the CEO is such a tool.
@lorddarlo6194 April 15, 2024 - 11:39 pm
I'll have whatever he is smoking/drinking
@darryl2542 April 15, 2024 - 11:39 pm
"Will he get a better reception from Deborah Meaden?" JESUS CHRIST.
@someoneanyone884 April 15, 2024 - 11:39 pm
If he only would've being honest...
@jannisvondeetzen1045 April 15, 2024 - 11:39 pm
They literally handed him a new business plan.

- don’t go international / dominate UK first
- use static map until you habe enough users
- more sign ups

That’s a 3 step process. Easy as that
@dar1e April 15, 2024 - 11:39 pm
Anyone else thinks Peter has a crush on Deborah?
@edgar882 April 15, 2024 - 11:39 pm
How the pitch should have gone:

This app helps crowd source data connection stats around the UK. Currently we have taken the numbers from the static service provider maps and use that as a default in areas we have yet to collect enough data on. As we expand we will phase out this data and use our own.

Something as a company they failed to do: reach out to network providers and/or phone manufacturers to negotiate having the app preinstalled on the phones.

Peter wouldn't have had anything to say then if thats what they'd gone in saying
@davescott7669 April 15, 2024 - 11:39 pm
He is a total Walter Mitty character, barking mad and utterly clueless
@terrybunch7313 April 15, 2024 - 11:39 pm
I wouldn't trust that schnoz 👀
@bartnowi April 15, 2024 - 11:39 pm
Why would Tim Cook go to Dragons' Den?
@user-sf7kl9uh7k April 15, 2024 - 11:39 pm
This pitch was bullsh
@petergedd9330 April 15, 2024 - 11:39 pm
If nothing else, this series highlights how we can pull the wool over our own eyes. Peter is so so sharp and quick it is very scary.
@stevenesbitt3528 April 15, 2024 - 11:39 pm
I think they are focussed on the wrong thing. The coverage is not the value, the price comparison was
@SaganTheGreat April 15, 2024 - 11:39 pm
Guy has Australia wrong. They have better population coverage than the UK
@colindouglas1997 April 15, 2024 - 11:39 pm
Even after binge watching The Den, I have yet to see Deborah invest in a company. I think she is just in to be out.
