- Pete Ancketill is pitching 'Glassbusters' - Glassbusters have created a new, 'total convenience' solution to dispose of empty glass bottles. He's seeking an investment of £200,000 in return for a 10% equity stake but the Dragons can't get over the £2m business valuation...
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.

Ah, bars and restaurants. I remember those.
This is my favorite kind of Dragon's Den video - massively over engineering solution to a pretty small problem, forecasting massive profits within three years, and, critically, an entrepreneur that appears somewhat annoyed to be there in the first place. Love it.
I live in México where bars and restaurants collect the beer bottles, the suppliers pick up the empties, they go back to the bottler who cleans, re-labels as required and refills the bottles. Recycling is great, but reusing is (usually) even better.
I think he just likes the sound of smashing bottles to be honest...
"So, how much stock do you have right now?"
When Sarah said that, as a restaurant owner, she couldn't even imagine installing one. That, right there, should have been the end of it
I love Nick. He's fair and polite to a reasonable point, but he can also be cold and calculating when needed. He's like the best of James and Peter combined.
I hope these Dragons Den vids never stop coming 👌
Peter: "What's your business model?"
This person is like a politician, he does not answer the question and talks crap!.
Peter Jones talks about "giving it a punt" with £200k. I struggle putting a 10er in my sky bet account. 😂😂
On a 3-week Dragon's den binge now, can't decide if i keep coming back for the dragons or the hilarious comment section or the ridiculous puns. Keep 'em coming!
The look on Peter' face when he finds out that the equity stake was negotiable = Priceless lol
Little does he know, In March 2020 all pubs, bars and restaurants will be closed for 4 months.
I ran a bar that he pitched these to. The machines are great, quieter than the ones here and turn the bottles into tiny pebbles. Problem for the owners was cost. Hope they managed to come to a more flexible price point.
If I'm honest, I would struggle to believe a straight answer from someone called Glass Crusher Pete anyway
"we're only on this planet once, I'll accept your offer"
Sarah was a really good dragon, I wish they'd stuck with her
Amazingly the company is not dissolved but its not doing well. At the start of 2020 it had 21k in bank and the assets aren't much either. Indeed a relatively small shop would do better
I worked in a framing business. They just smashed glass straight into a wheelie bin and gave no fucks about it getting everywhere. This is an amazing idea and breaks away from the council pocketing all the waste that glass companies produce. Especially if they find a way to recycle this glass it could work for sure.
