Having been on #dragonsden I look at the ‘journey’ fairly closely, what did they sacrifice? The Matcha ppl were great, but being able to raise £125k from family is privileged. Fair play, I’m sure they will be a huge success! But the lady who bootstrapped had a hill to climb.
@Sanassee The way he was talking to the business owner of @tellemoi was wild- constructive it was just pooping on it
If he had said ah I think this could be elevated a bit more have you thought about doing… then I wouldn’t have been like coolio
but he’s just been so sour this season 👎🏾
@YasminHenlon@tellemoi I don’t really do my own nails but, maybe now I’ll start or buy and take to the nail shop. I don’t want to be that girl who brings their own nail polish but also I want a colour I actually like 😅
@ShaiLorraine@tellemoi A bit disappointed in how the dragons were with @tellemoi. They used to invest in small businesses and watch them grow, nowadays all they are interested in is wealthy people like the two at the end or those that are already doing well that have the biggest budgets.
@WamdueC@tellemoi True, I agree with her though that they haven’t. I feel there’s probably loads of make up examples of this. We’re an afterthought or just not a profitable enough market apparently. You’d like to think the target market would choose a brand with a genuine story/interest in them.
@tellemoi Just saw you on the Den please keep doing what you do. I am not a woman of colour but I think the colours and your product is great and many will have seen it tonight. Good luck for your future success.
Shocked by the #dragonsden response to @tellemoi because this is a real life problem 😄 I wish more nail shops stocked gel polishes that were a more flattering shade of nude for my skin colour. The pinks look trash on me but I like plain/natural nails😒
Catch me on Dragons’ Den Next Thursday 2nd March on BBC One @ 8pm
Join us live on the day from @tellemoi as we host a live Q&A about everything that goes down🤎
