Former barrister, Dupsy Abiola is next into the Den., she's obviously used to arguing her case in court but the question now will is, will that be enough to tame one of our Dragons? Dupsy is looking for a £100,000 investment in return for a 10% stake in 'Intern Avenue' - An online internship directory website designed to connect employers with students and graduates.
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.

@@91vanced14 Simply because she IS a woman. Nothing more, nothing less. Don’t go searching for assumed ideas that aren’t there. Nowhere in what @J.Jammer writes can you see that there is some sort of ‘hidden message’ or so. @J.Jammer actually took the time to explain to you why the word ‘woman’ was chosen, and STILL you are nagging with an additional ‘why’. Don’t be ridiculous and accept the giving explanation. You do NOT ‘know it better’. People like you annoy me. Nothing else than Problem Starters.

Maybe but lets not pretend that these people who run the shows dont know about the history of the people coming on and without a doubt prompt the dragons to ask about it. Could even go as far as the entrepreneur being in on it to (as in being told to express their story on the show). This is common on shows like britians got talent, x factor etc. Lets not pretend these tv shows would pass up on emotional entertainment oppurtunities like this.

@folk-comrade 2 года назад

Depends on who the two dragons are tbh. In this case I'd agree it's better to have PJ with a higher stake in the business; that way he's more invested in its success.

@HaggardPillockHD 2 года назад

Agreed with above but will add that it also depends on type of business. I think Peter alone has more than enough resources/connections to help develop a website.

@mmckenzie8085 Год назад

Peter is more than 2 dragons though :) I am glad she picked him, no disrespect to the other dragon. To be honest this happens a lot on the Den. Peter makes an offer and someone else comes in after to try to match it. I have seen it with lesser pitches when suddenly they get interested after Peter's offer, because really he is pretty good at what he does, hence why his worth is more than all the other dragons put together.

@FozzyBBear 2 года назад

I would have liked to have heard more about the algorithm. I've dealt with similar algorithms and the time complexity has always been factorial. Multiply the number of interns by the number of placements, and square it. If they were only allowing the employers to state preferences, and not the interns, that would have halved the complexity but delivered a poor outcome for the interns. Running a cycle to allocate 300 interns at 300 placements would take several minutes. Multiply those numbers by 10 and the processing time is multiplied by 100 and it now takes several hours.
