- Azeez Gbolade, with his partners, came into the Den to pitch their Agritech business, Agricco NG, for a N2 Million investment for a 10% equity.
However, a lack of focus, amongst other issues, prove damaging to their investment request - Zábava
I think I will soon be on this seat as a lion... am still young but I see this happening very soon
You get money abi you just get dream?
When you finally have money you go know say VC no be work cos na people money u de whine with
This narrator Sha..
"They journey back to Abeokuta without an investment 😭😂😂"
I wish Azeez well. I actually think, his other partners would have contributed substantially to the pitch. Azeez did the talking and also the e commerce demo, so what's the need of coming with 2 other people?
Also, he was too impatient. I wouldn't blame him though but I think he should learn to manage his emotions/reactions/self confidence better.
All the best Agrico! I hope you effectively utilize the advice of the lions.
Perfect observations, at some point I felt irritated.
I think he's the brain behind the business and rather too unintelligent to drive his pitch right from the beginning to the end.
Interestingly their business model is fantastic but restructuring of the business model needs a great touch.
I'm a Logistics expert and if I'm a lion 🦁, I see prospect in their business line only if they'll be ready restructure there business. Alerzo has a similar line of business and I'll have walked them through that line if they're willing to and also have 30-40% of the equity after they return my money in 3years because by then they'll have gone more globally
I don’t think it’s all about getting the money from the Lions, at this point the Lions were investing knowledge to Azeez and his team, you need more than money to handle a business, if theres money and not technical Know-how on management then it’s all a joke, cause at the end of the day you fall back to learn what you ought to have learnt from the starting point. All the best to them
Azeez was too nervous and seemingly desperate and he missed the chance to learn
Yeah, Azzez shows he's desperate no lion would invest with that attitude especially he presents himself as one who finds it hard to learn
Azeez and his team seem to be taking the feedback too personally. They've been given wonderful advice which they need to reflect on.
I like to listen to Paul onwuanibe, even though he's always out.
😂😂😂
He has good insights sincerely
Always out Lol
😂😂I like d way he talks
@romanphilip4470 same😂
The voiceover makes it even funnier 😂
I wish them all the best tho. It’s not the easiest thing hearing feedback but it’s necessary to grow.
From the first episode to this, so far you can sense how the lions are extremely cautious about investing in even the most bankable businesses pitched in the den. On top of the risk of investing in businesses and everything else, there is that existing distrust (because you can easily be scammed) in Nigeria that makes it even harder for investors to invest. I sincerely like that Nigerian investors and all other partners started this despite all of the challenges we look forward to more episodes and hope they lessen their understandable fear in the next season.
i think they have a really good business idea, they just need a really good structure
My first thought was they need to be niche in their focus. They are doing too much and there is so much risk involved in a business like this.
You're spot on here.
Why don't we get to see and hear the opinions and comments of the judges after the people live. Think that would be quite useful as well
2 million won't be enough for this business
Watching this video was worth my time. Wish Azeez and his friends well.
I am glad they learnt these lessons now. I am sure their next pitch will be better. Naivety is part of pitching, especially for early startup founders. This probably might be their first pitch. They might think, it is the one that lands them an investor.
It’s encouraging to see this. Well done to Azeez and his team. I hope thinks work out for them.
This is a goldmine. Just came across this beautiful video.
A befitting headline, what an episode!
Paul: I don't like your cap, for that reason, am out!
Bolaji: I will give you the money 💰 but for 95% equity
Adenike: great idea but am still out
Dan: for the love of Moses, JUST LISTEN!
Kyari comes in as raging bull to wreck the business idea
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Guyyyy noe keee me with laugh
😂😂
😂😂😂😂
😀😀
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Respect to these gentlemen!
The fact that the entrepreneur kept fidgeting was an obvious tell. I wish him the best.
Thank you for such a resource.
Version of Sharks but I like this version better. It's more educational rather than a hot seat interrogation.
'Amount of ask is too small' ? Very funny
You would think Paul wants to considered a deal with them.
The dude was nervous and scared. Hope it works out for him though
Well, sometimes, it's more than just getting the money. It's also the willingness to be humble and take whatever it is you did not expect.
Good idea they have, but a good attitude can win a bad idea a better amount of money. He was desperate to succeed. But that desperation led him away from success at this time alone.
I wish him the best.
You may walk out of the den with no monetary assistance, but the business advice you get Worth's a lot. He feels he has answer to all the questions which is wrong. They just told him what he should focus on instead of bringing all together. If you can't pay your salary from your business, how do you know you are doing good? I have made a similar mistake in a business before but Azeez is not ready to listen
@@olabamboalake2124 He really thinks he knows it all and therefore, took the advice that's worth more than the 2m he's asking for as an attack on his brand.
I love this show
Attitude just robbed this guy..
Exactly
Interesting episode
Why are they still advertising the season 2 when the registration is over?
Learn to listen
Good day everyone.
How can I register for a chance to pitch a business idea?
Thanks
Well, this Aziz guy has a WONDERFUL & INNOVATIVE Idea of PACKAGED FOOD, which would thrive SUCCESSFULLY with other FOOD BRANDS, if he has a much BROADER TARGET MARKET...
So, based on his LIMITED DISTRIBUTION NETWORK and other VITAL ASPECTS, he is not FULLY PREPARED for FURTHER EXPANSION, therefore he needs to get back to the DRAWING BOARD and re-strategise his BUSINESS IDEAS & PLANS...
And also, as one of the Lions have mentioned, 2 Million Naira is too small based on so much which has to be taken into CONSIDERATION...
Lols, this guys are Funaabites, recognise them all.. hmm I wish them the best!
Who’s this Aziz? Can you just listen????😡
Why didn't they let Azeez talk. The poor student just wanted to ask for transport money back to Abeokuta. Very smart guys. Actually think they have what it takes
I do hope he took the strategic advice Mr Paul shared with him. He seems too impatient and has a character flaw which could not only be detrimental to his business but to his life as well; "Listening" is one of the most important principles of exchange and human interaction. If you don't seem investable as a person, an investor will likely not invest in your business.
I can see the fear in his eyes
It's not fear... the only error he made was the asking for 2m.... E commerce need like 5m.
❤
This was brutal
This commentator is wicked oo 🤣 at the end he said it's a failed transaction. Yeh 😂
He would have gotten a lion but he wasn't listening. I wish him all the best.
They are never going to invest... even if he had listened.
Was on a lose lose, if you say "ok I will change the direction of my business" you going to get the response of ok good you starting again, come back later when we see if it works. So you need confidence in what you offering but then of course you give the impression you stubborn, the best compromise is along the lines of "I am open to input on better ways to take the business forward".
How can one register for a chance to pitch?
Check the previous videos
The moment he introduced them all and trying to do the whole thing including the demo isn't a good managerial skill... He needs to be coherent and learn to be calm
Spot on.
Was surprised he had to operate it himself.
See as him dey rob hand
Exactly! And also learn to delegate
@@johnnyboy8147 🤣🤣🤣 I thought I'm the only one
Heck!
Azeez, what's wrong with your fingers. Why the fidgeting?
The pitch was not persuasive enough, sigh!
The big Azeez is too impatient.
Why is he still rasing his hands, the guy is impatient, during pitching it's important to listen more and learn
Aziz hands were itching?
At some point I was trying to put myself in Azeez's shoe here's an advice coming to me and I would like to prove that I'm listening so I wanted to ask, "is this what you're trying to communicate to me?" if I am going to do that I will definitely need to raise my hand or something like that...
Honestly, he seems impatient but raising your hand doesn't necessarily display interjection, it could be to ask for clarification on a previous point...
He seems not to comprehend what was been said and he aired his own interpretation of what was suggested to him...
Just my opinion...
Even the Bible says the quick to listen and slow to speak, he lacks the two.
He's not listening at all and wants to quickly speak ones he hears the lion giving there opinion.
He turned me as a viewer off, exclude his pitch , the dressing, hand gesture, face gesture speaks a lot here.
He also ddnt present himself as someone who's is ready to be mentored or schooled, he's so desperate
Why is this looking like one of those local hackathons?
Common
Up FUNAAB!!!
Nah. These boys were embarrassing
Azeez wan cry o!
is this program real or scripted? because I have been searching about the businesses on the net, but haven't gotten single info about them
Common,
Cause none of them became successful
Immediately
I saw Paul as the last lion
I just pitied the young men
Honestly, no hope 😂😂😂😭
Azeez. 🤣🤣
Say No to Gra Gra! Learn to Listen! Student Union don collect Woto Woto!
You're not nice 😁
Does this guy have a raising hand problem
Lol
Until you're in his position, you may never understand his fear and anxiety. You will lose all form of composure you think you have
@@stanleyonwuemeka7822 yeah, but it's obvious he didn't prepare.
😂 😂 😂
They won't let him talk through. Yes, he didn't handle the hand raising well, but at least, let's hear it after a bit. Worst episode.
There is nothing to say.
I think he infuriated them by not allowing them finish before interjecting, so at that point, they weren't willing to listen to whatever he had to say. Perhaps any of his colleagues should have tried to speak, not him.
@@onyekaokonji28 The only thing that stopped them from investing is the 2m he mentioned. You need nothing less than 5m... to operate at a reasonable scale...
From the question asked you know they are not really interested in the business.
They don't understand the business simple
@@ibrahimwasiu6480 Seriously! Or the Azeez guy was simply annoying
Azis was faustrated!
This guy is just impatient 😴😴
The people getting into this den are always strange to me. They should watch how it's done in other countries.
Plus, they mostly show up with insubstantial business plans. You want someone's money, and you can't show how you'll spend it.
you're the only one speaking - bad enough ..... usually the best speaker takes the lead but then how can the best be fidgeting too much...
