Product Information

However, Jones was prepared to make an offer: half of the money for 10%, on the grounds that Jenkins would also come on board – he did. Suleyman was also keen to invest, offering all the money for 15%. After sampling the world’s cuisines during a hiatus from working in the city, the entrepreneur was inspired to start Great Grub – a halal sandwich business seeking to bring the excitement of street food to the “boring” to-go food currently found in supermarkets. Meaden decided she wouldn't become just “one of a list of great names you’ve got involved in the business” and became the first to drop out of the deal. Willingham was unable to allay her fears that it would be too difficult and expensive to “become the first port of call” and also declined to invest. Meaden was justifiably unimpressed: “You’ve given me nothing, absolutely nothing, I’m really sorry, I won’t go over it, I’m out”. Willingham followed: “You did spend a lot of time giving us the ‘big I am’, and actually all we really want to know is about the sandwiches and how you’re going to get it into the stores, why you love that and what’s great about them”. This left Jones to shut the on the pair's hopes for investment: “I don’t buy into the product, I think it is totally over-engineered, but I don’t think it’s going to affect your lives […] I’m not going to invest in something I don’t think is necessary, so for that reason I’m out”.

Read on for a round of the pitches and what you can learn from this instalment of Dragons’ Den… Roger Willems and Phil Stratford Kavuri's failed to express excitement in his product and explain why it would be a money spinner. Sam Coley and Steve PearceJenkins added: “I think this is one of the best personalised products I’ve seen”, and matched his fellow Dragons offer. Willingham also matched the offer, boasting her experience with Facebook advertising as an added bonus with her involvement. The DoorJammer is comprised of an ingenious configuration of angles and hinges that anchor it firmly to the floor when subjected to an outside force. The neoprene extension foot bears down on carpet, linoleum and wood flooring to create a firm barricade. But the real beauty of the DoorJammer lies in its simplicity to use. It installs in just seconds, without need for tools or special expertise. If you can turn a water faucet on and off, you can use the DoorJammer. In an emergency, the DoorJammer removes with a swift upward pull. The DoorJammer is TSA friendly for carry-on travel, and received a prestigious Double Gold at the recent British Invention of the Year Awards. ADJUSTABLE neoprene extension foot needs only 0.3-inch of clearance, and can be used with doors that have high thresholds. Sleep tight in your dorm or hotel room, and protect yourself at work or school.

The Den’s next hopeful was Sunil Kavuri – a man with a career as an investment strategist and a model already behind him.

Start-up business lesson:Pearce and Coley entered the Den with a very specific idea of what they wanted to get out of it – when they didn’t get the offer they were looking for they weren’t afraid to walk away with nothing. Don’t be pressured into giving away more of your company than you think is fair. What are you doing here?” asked Deborah Meaden, leading Willems to explain that they only had experience of the business-to-business route and would use the Dragons’ profile and consumer experience to help them bring the product to market. Meaden was concerned when she discovered that the pair had previously failed to get DoorJammer into a major retailer that she was already selling a product through and announced herself out of investing.
