  • Next into the Den is Louis with his clothing brand, ‘OHMME’. Louis first dipped his toes into the world of business at 11 years old but now he's pitching for an investment of £80,000 investment in return for a 6% cut in the business, but has he used his Facebook shares wisely?
    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.

    I wish somebody called out Jenny when she essentially said he got lucky with his Facebook investment. You constantly hear about savvy investors who got in early on tech unicorns like Facebook or Uber and cashed out big time. But when this guy says he made $2 million on Facebook, Jenny says "wow, that was some punt", basically saying he took a shot in the dark rather than congratulating him on a successful investment.
    She made all her money by running a company into the ground, buying it cheap when her failures combined with the 2007 recession drove the price down, and then profited off the bounceback as the global economy recovered. In other words, she took advantage of a company that was losing money and needed to sell (largely because of her), and stayed on the ride until the recession began to fade. She is lucky to have a wealthy family that supported her in purchasing that business. This dude isn't lucky... he's smart.

    Something worth noting about “having some money” and “becoming a millionaire”…
    Facebook’s lowest stock price ever was just below $18 (I’m using USD here). This episode was filmed in 2018, when the peak share price was $210.
    In order to have $2,000,000, with perfect timing and selling at peak in July, 2018… he would have needed to invest over $170,000 at age 18.
    And $1 USD in 2018 was worth about £0.78, so you can convert it further to be worth 2 million pounds (it’d be around $220,000 USD invested at Facebook’s bottom, sold at its 2018 peak).
    Not taking anything away from his intelligence or abilities (he still increased his funds maybe 10x over with a single investment)… but “some money” and “200 grand” have very different meanings to me.

The knowledge you can get from them is very undervalued now a days but it's definitely worth it to avoid making huge mistakes like these. I really hope he takes their advice. He needs to sell all his stock and not introduce any more designs like he said he would until he manages to sell what he has. Then he needs to stop producing the designs that are not selling and only keep his top 5 or 10 best sellers and slowly introduce more designs and see which ones people like in order to grow the business.

    Even in the best-case scenario, if he bought FB at rock bottom at 18$ and sold it on the top on Jan 17 (according to his timeline) at 120.
    In order to be able to make 2M$ by 25 from FB stock alone, he needed 353$K at 18.
    Converting 353$K to 2M$ in 5 years is super impressive. But the right question should be where did an 18 years old boy get access to 353$K?
    If it comes from daddy, then the entire story is way less impressive. He probably did a few bets, one was successful and now he is using it to portray himself as a self-made man.
    If he is not from a rich family, then the story of how an 18-year-old average boy getting access to 353$K is more interesting and impressive than the actual bet on Facebook.

      If a man from the future comes back in time and gives you 10 startup company names that will make it big this decade. The probability that the shareholders will let you in today is small, most startups don't take money from anyone. Money comes mainly from friends and family, angel investors, and VCs.
      If some 18-year-old boy offers you 10K in 99.9% of the cases you deny it. Since 10K is not enough money for anything on one side, yet it adds headache and may reduce flexibility for you in the future.
      My point is that this is not the full story, he either had money or connections or did something remarkable (non-related to Facebook) at the age of 18.

Assuming he bought the shares at their lowest point for around $18 around the time of the IPO and sold them for $200 he must have bought just shy of 11,000 shares for just under $200,000. How he had that money at 18 idk, but the stock is now at $274 (which would be worth $3m to him today) and he probably needed the cash.

      The smell of Danger is often compared to the pungent odor of a running sock that fell down the back of the radiator a month ago

      I SAID"... when you're 12.

    Smart guy, loads of folk go in and won't budge on a figure they've come up with out of insecurity and stubbornness, and I bet more go on to fail than to succeed, take the risk and take the offer, you would have a bigger chance of regretting not taking it
