- Husband and wife team Ashley and Kate Jones are pitching their unusual Japanese snack food - seaweed. They're seeking an investment of £70,000 in return for a 20% equity stake in Selwyn's.
An international sensation, Dragon's Den features entrepreneurs pitching for investment in the Den from our Dragons, five venture capitalists willing to invest their own money in exchange for equity.
#DragonsDen #BadMove #Mistake - Zábava
I know a man, with the best job in the world, who roams the beaches of western Scotland that could supply them their seaweed.
ahh I see what you did there, the lady that works with him is a delight too
Michael Craig Haha.. the cold lonely beaches..
He's out there, still, hunting the seaweed with his fishy pals.
Sea - Weed!!! Roadhouse!!!
ROARY!! (THAT'S PROBABLY NOT HOW YOU SPELL HIS NAME BUT I DON'T CARE!!!)
It would have been hella funny if they said, "We have a specialist who gets the seaweed for us", then the lift door opened, and Rory came out and said, "Hello Peter."😂
I would literally have died if that happened 🤣🤣🤣🤣 fan service at its peak
Only true dragon den afficionados will appreciate.
Nah, no chance. He's got the best job in the world.
I sometimes wonder if Rory knows how loved he is. I’m sure he’d very humble if he found out….
Seaweed flavour but you got to cover that seaweed flavour with flavours people like!
They will love Rory the Seaweed hunter who has the best job in the world
Propa dragons den fan 😂😂
He was humble!
Haha well remembered
I forgot about Rory and that air head partner of his making up all her "facts" on the fly. The Dragon's may not be warm and fuzzy people but they didn't get where they have gotten too for allowing hot air blown up pants or skirts.
Hahaha. He is the first person I thought of after this episode.
A 20 year lease on a product in its infancy...that is a massive leap of faith.
Me: How is the off-screen commentator going to make puns about seaweed?
Commentator: The kelped crusaders
LMAO
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Its a snack that won't fill you up."
That's the point of a snack mate. It's not a meal, it's something flavorful to chew on between meals.
The fatest guy in their complaining about portion size does make sense if you think about it. He wants his portions large
Debrah literally ate all the sea weed but yet "I'm out" 😂😂😂
She ate so much of it
Its only 4grams
😂😂😂😂😂😂
@diaryofseresha,
*Damn, you sure are a lil’ CUTIE 😍! May I PLEASE make direct payments towards your college tuition/student loans (Soon-To-Be Dr.) 😩?*
In every shot she was eating the snack.
Touker shocked the factory stays empty and idle most of the month.
Still has empty office space that he struggles to fill....
His scale is much higher though. That factory is literally most of their business.
Imagine being able to go into an empty office in London and go, yep, I lease this. This cost me a FORTUNE. Guess I'll sit over HERE> And then make your body as wide as possible to get your money's worth.
These two were sadly strangled by seaweed shortly after this episode aired. Witnesses say the culprit had a Scottish accent. He disappeared into the North Sea equipped in scuba gear.
It is said that he also had the best job in the world ...
The legend of the seaweed strangler.
Murder for hire, best job in the world
@@jordyncastelli5693 looolll
Please tell me how you think this comment would be funny.
£270k for a 20 year lease for a facory only operational 3 days out of every month. The landowner must be laughing all the way to the bank!
That why they have a fantastic relationship didn't you hear?
It probably belongs to him. But he's kept in the name of a family member so in the event of future investor coming in they won't have to give them a slice of factory.
@@sadikmeah4057 i dont know if you didn't watch the episode but he literally says the factory belongs to the land owner
@@mrw3617
And I bet my house the land owner is a close family member.
@@bobdiaz1756 if they handed me a free 270.000 pounds they would be my best friends LOL!!!
The only thing working for the guy is his wife.
Nice looking broad

She only cooks him seaweed dude. What are you smoking xD
He’s well punching above his weight
Mateee she’s wayyy to fit for him he’s punching bad 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sarah is lovely with the sweetest smile. She always politely explains herself before she declares herself out.
True, but why does she always wear the same outfit..?
@@JB-we9et For continuity purposes. In a single episode you might see pitches days, or even weeks apart during filming.
She's only there for the freebies. It's like taking a woman to a bar. They talk a lot and never put their hand in their purse 😂
@@JB-we9et For continuity indeed, but not continuity as in a whole episode, but continuity in the pitch itself, since the close-up facial expressions of the dragons are reused in multiple pitches.
Both Sara’s. Hhhnnnngggggg
2:50 Debra: "I'm not sure how to eat it."
Me: "Put it in your mouth."
That's what he said? 🙄😋
Have it with sushi perhaps, or, miso soup. Problem solved.
Kind of a dumb thing to say considering how much she got through.
@@user-wickedflower no, because that’s not how welsh eat the food and it’s a welsh product, if you want sushi, have sushi… but don’t change a countries history because you can’t be bothered to try something different.
I wish they'd mention the year where those pitches are made. In some cases it's really necessary to understand the context of these pitches
Nah, because they keep reposting for more views. Crooks
You can work it out from which Dragons are there, but yeah would be nice
Season 14, episode 16, aired 26 February 2017.
Not in this case
But this is seaweed. Seaweef is eternal
They got swindled with that agreement. It's like an upfront payment of a leased car for twenty years that you intend to drive to a possibly-profitable job that you don't even have yet. Ludicrous.
Watching dragon den clips is now apart of my daily routine. I can't get enough of it.
Mate
It's becoming a problem-
Same here, it fills a void in my empty soul
Lol. I’m on 6 days straight...
Gordon Dimmack - it's so addictive. I have other CZcams interests which are just piling up unwatched! The highlight is when Peter comes in with his comments. Always worth waiting for.
Rory is absolutely FEWMIN about this
🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣😭
4:34 "It is the same as other seaweed snacks on the market". Choose your words more carefully lol, you're meant to emphasise your unique selling points
There are other seaweed snacks? Can’t recall ever seeing seaweed in the stores.
@@MrJamberee Lots of brands, mostly in asian stores however
Gosh I just hate it when people have coming on the den have heartwarming stories, it just makes me feel incredibly bad for them, I wanna give them a hug
I have a question ... how the hell did he pull her ???
🤣🤣🤣
Lad's punching well above his weight
Or above is height 😂😂
Scrolled to find this comment!
Magic??? :)
The key to their success is Rory 🧜🏻♂️🦸🏼♂️
Where is tej when you need him
Build a factory before you sell your first packet, lol
if hes still got it he shud get it ready for a nice crop of medicinalness. Probably already got enough lights. lol
Culture that pioneered cuisine like “boiled meat” thinks seaweed is alien and weird
lol so true...
name me one single culture on earth that doesn't 'boil meat' as you put it.
@@Tekapeel The point is, some of us evolved.
@@randomaccount8185 literally thats false.
UK food is terrible.
I love a Korean brand of these snacks. Korean BBQ, Chilli and Salt and Pepper. They cost us (here in The Philippines) about a quid for 3 packs containing 10 'wafer-thin-slivers' each. They are delicious but totally dry, not sticky at all.
I was eating those all the time in Thailand, but these that they produced can be bent and dont look crunchy like the Thai ones. That crunchiness was key to the experience.
The crunch means they aren't healthy though. These ones were trying to be a healthy snack
@@tiprat5051 I don't think so. It's just a matter of the hydration.
Go to any Korean store and there will be shelves full of them
Well it’s a welsh product… not a Thai product.
Touker said you always lose money while the factory works only 3 days a month, what about his empty offices in London?
Who's Tucker?
@@tiprat5051 Tucker is the nickname of Touker
He can afford to lose money. Lol
@@mindfreak9002 so far he tried to convert these offices to a selling point
@@starkiller9986 this is not the point here. Touker has a net worth of 150 million £, obviously he can afford to have as many empty offices as he wants. He is telling these people to use their factory because they only have 1 factory. Simple
Touker time sounds dodgy
Only if there's no free office space
"here is a packet of crisps with a crisp in it" like Walkers then?. 😂
strange.. there are lots of seaweed snacks in the USA... i love them
This must be an older episode.
I wonder if his grandfather was Rory
☝️😌 “Absolutely nobody is going to buy this”... says Deborah as she grabs fistfuls of seaweed... 🌿😳
That’s not quite what she said..she said the market wasn’t quite big enough which is true
@@caitlinlindsay8418 sorry…. I’m paraphrasing ✋😊
@@caitlinlindsay8418
Yet there she was munching happily away into their stock.
Maybe she meant the market wasn't big enough to supply her.
@@pleasepermitmetospeakohgre1504 maybe you should smd
@@pleasepermitmetospeakohgre1504 wow you got so upset over absolutely nothing🤣
1 packet sells for 99p and they've already put £275,000 into the business 😳 even if they were making 70p profit per packet they'd have to sell 393,000 packets just to break even, but they'd likely make much less of a margin than that selling them to retailers. No chance for an invester, wouldn't see their money back for years, if at all.
Well they’re making hundreds of thousands now so what’s your point ?
@@caitlinlindsay8418 exactly as I've said. They've gone from a net worth of £108,129 in 2016 to a net worth of £104,505 in 2020. Cash of £489 in 2016 to £14,935 in 2020. Assets £45,736 to £55,694 and liabilities from £393,380 to £286, 765. So they've made no profit and their net worth has reduced in four years - no chance for an investor to see their money back for years, if at all.....
@@caitlinlindsay8418 you dont understand business so whats your point?
Most seaweed consumed in the west is in the form of the parchment paper like nori which is used to hold sushi rolls together, outside of that it's the snack you reach for, when you literally can't find anything else to eat... also having it brush against your leg when you're swimming isn't a particularly pleasant feeling either.
Seaweed snack is very popular in China, Japan and South Korea, easily spotted in supermarket. When properly made they are more addictive than many candies here in UK
They are made exactly like that shape and cut and nobody complains about "how do I eat this" lol
Due to their extremely low density the price per gram is obviously very high.
I buy them a lot from Asian supermarkets. Some have a crunchy layer of rice on one side.
But I like the taste of seaweed.
Drives me nuts when Dragons complain about the packaging. I'm sure entrepreneurs willing to change the packaging.
He should’ve said “eat this snack and you can get a wife like mine”
Or just "you get mine" :p
If he wasn't loaded she wouldn't be with him.
@@pleasepermitmetospeakohgre1504 I'm not usually the type to think those things and like to think there's more to it, but yeah I can't help but feel she saw a bit of gold to dig. Good on her, get that paper

I don't need to lol, you're the one telling me you're short, and you obviously have a problem with it.
Bet Rory was loving this :)
Wrap it around rice and sell it as a snack (onigiri) and people will recognize what it is . Basically sushi
Their business is still running to date, though it never became massive. Good for them 👍
2:55 "Ive got slightly sticky fingers and I don't quite know how to eat it"
That's what I said the first time I went down on a girl.

Born and raised in California. People were eating this in high school when I was there. That was like 17.5 years ago.

Eating a different brand of seaweed snack as I watch this
Has Deborah never had fruit leather or fruit roll-ups? Or raisins, cranberries, or prunes? Those are sticky and floppy, and people eat them all the time. SMH
I don't like sticky snacks... How are you supposed to drive while you eat?
@@paulcarmi8130 Driving while eating is illegal in the UK

Cruel of her to do that and not invest.
@@pleasepermitmetospeakohgre1504 She's called Deborah "The Demon" Meaden for a reason.
That dude is seriously punching .
His wife was so sweet
I just have to mention this thought in my head...So Seafood is alien but Caviar is not...alot of what people have quips about with seaweed is always the consistency..me on the otherhand i'm always consistently fine with it:)
wasn't there another company with the exact same premise on this show?
Yep, crazy Fiona and Rory who had the best job in the world.
@@alib1919 Fiona was a delight
“Seaweed-flavoured food and drink are set to be the next big superfood trend in Europe” lmao
"My Grandfather: People knew his name for miles on end". (need I say any more).
I love how the start is essentially the wife just saying she likes them, that the kids use them. And thats why everyone will like them XD
it happened to me, so that is why it is important . .. . . .
They sell them in Itsu and they go like hotcakes (not this brand though)
Rory does not approve! there is only room for 1 seaweed hunter in the UK!
kelp crusaders ...they do love a pun in this show
Man she is stunning 😮
Mature and ripe
She ain’t mature she’s still young 🤣
@@trailerparkboys3390 A sexy Welsh woman.
I hope this charming couple go on to make a fortune.
My fiance bought these same seaweed sheets from Walmart here in Tennessee but it was a different brand and she loved them but I didn't find them very good. She bought all they had which was about 8 or 10 packs but before she bought them, nobody was buying them. I'm not sure how they would do here in the states. I'm sure they wouldn't do bad.
His wife would get pumped
Absolutely guaranteed the wife is nipping out to see the Brickie down the street 3 times a day while the husband sits in the house crying.
So gutted for these two I really liked them both would love to have the money to help them
Let me explain the deal with these two. A very attractive wife convinced her short husband that seaweed is the snack of the future and they should do whatever it takes to make it.

He did well for himself didn’t he
I can imagine this guy and Rory, all greased-up and wearing mankini's and headbands, wrestling upon Prestatyn Beach, fighting over Seaweed quotas and territories.
When the man said “ don’t drink too much” as they had water before entering the elevator I knew there was a problem.
LOL
same.
yes.. me too..
Me too! 🤣 🙄👍
@R Well I suppose what grown adult needs to be told not to drink too much water? 💧
They were ahead of the curve. Seaweed snacks are HUGE now and very pricey too.
This product is quite nice with top grade caviar
Why not middle grade? Racist!!111
Why do entrepreneurs always talk about how much they like their own products, as if that were a selling point. Of course they like their own product, but they aren't the ones going to buy it!
Very good point.
Because if you don’t, they will believe you will half ass your product and business ventures because you have no passionate drive.
There are entrepreneurs that didn’t like their own product or know their product is good, see it as a selling point but they have no emotional attachment to it, that ends up putting the dragons off due to lack of passion.
The more passion and belief you have for your product,.the more likely you are to make things work. They aren't gonna invest in someone who doesn't really come across as if they care or believe in the product. They are investing in you as a person as well as the product itself
To be fair I watched 1 the other day on TV and Debras asked "would you buy it" and he replied "probaly not" they were all flabgasted and all were out within about a minute.
When you're punching as hard as that, I'd be trying to sign her down on a 20 year guaranteed deal if I was him
Lol 😂
I wouldn’t mind tying her down for 20 minutes 😂.
He must've been the only male in the village to pull that.
Nobody eats seaweed like that here in Japan - this kind of nori would be wrapped around a rice cracker to make a nice crunchy snack
That lease deal is what homeless people do. Every homeless person I talk to; talks about getting money and paying a year's worth of rent upfront do they don't have to worry about it. He's got the record with 20 years upfront. How did he get such an attractive wife?

Have they not heard of Just in time manufacturing? Why would they build a factory that only operates 3 days per month, that is insane!
Add the 20 year lease on top, and it's totally nuts as a business plan.
They’ve gone in too deep to back out
well they could run the factory for other customers.
a lot of what they have could probably be used to produce products they arent competing with.
What a lucky man.
I think it's at least the third time I got to hear people pitch about seaweed
The problem with seaweed thins as a snack is that there’s about 7 sheets and each is literally 2 calories. Even though they taste nice, on a functional level they don’t do the job of actually satisfying hunger at all. You’re essentially paying to eat salty air.
they should be combined with something else really.
Ghost572 the Japanese eat them with rice, it’s not meant to be a snack!
@@31oise Exactly, they could of done sea weed with rice in little plastic containers like when you have chicken and pasta etc. In combination with other food it could be good, especially people who are health conscious or just like different food, or are even just from japan and want to taste their favorite seaweed snack :p

"Because people buy people first..."
Ah, the good ol' days
These snacks are super popular in China. This kind of fancy gourmet style would be very popular with wealthy and middle-class Chinese. They'd lap it up.
Now there's these snacks in every store
Deborah : NOBODY buys a snack that does that.
The 126.3 million nobodies living in Japan snacking on seaweed : *nodding*
So a lease for 20 years on a factory they paid for but they only run 3 days a month which is 720 days over 20 years less than 2 years running. What a waste.
That's assuming they don't start selling more or using it for other things like they talked about.
that man gives me hope if a short average looking man just like me can get that lucky in life ie his wife then life is sweet after all
Love the Dragons Den...
I and my young daughter eat a pack of this type of seaweed almost every day. It's imported from Singapore.
I am from Singapore and I doubt we have any locally produced seaweed products. All I have seen are from Japan, Thailand and South Korea.
