I wait for my cat. His litter box is right beside our toilet. When he shows up we do a synchronized poop, high five and then share a can of tuna. Reply With Quote

I love the show, but prefer Shark Tank. In DD it's mostly "I would have gone in but your evaluation is too high" or "it's too early" while in ST they take more risks. I also hate the new guy and Robert looks like a rat.

The new guy was a much needed addition to the show. He seems to be the only one with any sort of personality.

I was actually watching this last night for the first time... had some laughs but probably wouldn't follow it...
I thought the show was similar to 'America's next great inventor', which was better than this one..._______________

can't stand Jim - never formulates his own thoughts about a deal.. Jim only has 2 lines: always just chimes in with "i'll do that deal" or "i want at least 50% for me to consider" lol
kevin is prick but is hilarious
the best invention was that kid who invented the uno-cycle : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXO4Ki8qsvk_______________

Does anyone else think they have no idea about how to invest in websites? I remember one episode where the were wowed by a job website that had Google Maps integration. Another was some cell phone bidding website which thought they could get better rates than the carrier. If anyone remembers the website please let me know because I want to see if I was wrong about them failing.
I always wonder if they just "pretend" to invest then cancel out later just to make it seem like they have unlimited money. Everyone knows that the team is more important than a website idea yet they don't care about that at all. They think website ideas are worth so much money and don't check to see if the team can actually build the website.
As much as the show is fun to watch, it always makes you wonder if they're just fake investing.Last edited by YourBuddy; Sep 29th, 2011 at 05:13 PM.

Yeah, during due diligence, they back out of a lot of deals. I think they only actually invest in 40 percent of the ppl they made deals with in person. I also read somewhere a while ago, this was one of the reasons Brett left the show. Because Dragons were just looking good for tv, and not actually helping entrepreneurs.

I watch it on occasion to see some weird as wacky ideas. Some people have poured their lives in what they believe will make then money and the DD does put a wake-up call to them to drop it.
One if the pioneers of website groupbuys, teambuy was invested by the DD, but I don't see them as a step ahead of any other web groupbuy sites out there._______________

Kevin. He has always refused to divulge his net worth, but he's the only billionaire on the show. Originally Posted by boumbo

Actually the "Due Dilligence" is where investors, verify all aspects of what is being told to them is true. You need to pass it. It's legal protection for any investor. patents ownership? does product exist already? any liens against company for previous stock.? how tight is patent from copies? etc.,...?

They do have updates every once and a while, where shows them pulling out and why( usually fake #'s used in presentation or outstanding debt ), as well as success or even the one where the teacher told the students to not accept the offer when dragons ready to sign the check over.Last edited by theguyz; Sep 30th, 2011 at 09:45 AM.

Do yourself a favour and try to watch the British version, much better.
The one thing about Jim, is I can always tell when he's going to invest because he can barely contain his excitement, he leans forward tapping his pen when he's going to invest. Reply With Quote
