Series 2 |
| 1 :02x01 - Season 2, Episode 1 (Nov/15/2005) | Dominic Killinger entered the den with an impressive pitch for his start-up business providing wireless internet access to yacht owners.
He'd already signed up 50 marinas and it seemed like the perfect business for Doug Richard, a self confessed yacht and high-tech junkie. After Duncan Bannatyne told Dominic he didn't think there was a big enough market and went out early on, things began to look a little bit shaky. When Doug Richard started picking holes in his business plan Dominic looked like he might be coming undone.
Luckily for Dominic, Peter Jones came in and offered half the money he needed for 20% of his business. Theo Paphitis followed suit with exactly the same amount, so Dominic had the money he came in for but in return for 40% of his company - he came in looking to sell only 20%.
Then things in the den really started to hot up when Doug Richard offered all of the money for a massive 45% of his company in return for his vast experience in both yachting and wi-fi, only for Rachel Elnaugh to come in with an offer for the ÂĢ150k for just 38%!
For the first time ever in the Den, four dragons were fighting for the same business. Who would Dominic go for? In the end he chose Peter Jones and Theo Paphitis.
Alex Hall entered the dragons' den looking for ÂĢ150,000 for a 15% stake in her company The Big O which sells pre-packed marinated olives for the pub and bar market.
With an attractive, patented pole dispenser she designed herself to package her olives, the dragons agreed Alex had a good and potentially lucrative product but they all felt her presentational skills let her down.
Her answers were too evasive and defensive for the dragons' liking. What could Alex have done differently to secure the capital she required?
