The 'Hummingbirds' Pitch Leaves The Sharks In Tears | Shark Tank AUS

marc S - That is called true strength my brother, only logical minds can see it & I applaud you for seeing what the broken cannot see bruh 😎

@@t4c882 or they wanted to be overly emotional to distract from counteroffering to the requested 20%. if its bigger than business and they care for it so much they shouldnt be undercutting he efforts and business by demanding 25% of the business. being realistic goes far, especially when youre giving away a quarter of your business.

God bless, Jesus loves you and died for you all

Jajajaja

Hes a realist, he knows you need to be able to make money to have it. And without that, whatever help he can provide is limited by his funds.

Very true

He said he would donate to this other one I saw about donating fairy boxes to children in hospitals.

You know... I really used to like Andrew, Janine, and Naomi "so-so", but not anymore after seeing this episode. First, 80k is nothing for them. And they could have at least said they'd help in some ways, that's the least they could have done. But they didn't. SHAME ON those three: Andrew, Naomi, and Janine! ... Then, who expected the black sheep Steve to kick in? Well, HE did! And John goes in too. Both are amazing... Then you see the b*tch Naomi laughing and clapping her hands like she had anything to do with that... such a phony woman!

🤗

I hope they're doing well in life. Wish them all the best 😀

Your life seems great to be able to help those beautiful children's

I had also worked with such a group and totally relate to your experience. Whenever I spent a time it is always memorable for me.

Very Nice

Good to know. Children shouldn't be a burden.

Good for you and greetings from Austria! Country that is most often mistaken for Australia 😉

I read this as "steve has be, is be and always will be a legend"

True legend for sure

A business born out of necessity.

After reading the first nine words of your comment I was considering slicing you up RU-vid comments style. It's unfortunate these women even have to step up to this plate given our privilege.

Thats exactly why I love him.

I am in the US and I have a special needs son. I have had similar experiences as you. It’s not just how our families are discriminated against, but it’s the horrible things said and behaviors of these businesses that don’t want us. At least where I am, you can expect pay 2x or 3x as much if you can find child care. It should be criminal how CHILDREN are being treated, I’m glad people like these women are doing what they are. We were never able to find a daycare business that would accept us or one I felt wouldn’t mistreat my son, we ended up finding a private babysitter instead.

I highly doubt it's that people don't "want to bother". When it comes to disabled children you need a lot more credentials than just CPR. It costs a lot more to pay someone. The daycare basically needs 1 adult for just your child.... Have you looked at how little profit is in daycare? On top of them basically having to give up half their pay to care for your child, if not more. Having a special needs child would require at least 2k to get a proper contract drawn up to avoid a lawsuit, by you, after you choose to leave your child in a day care that isn't a 1-1 ratio. I'm not saying this to be mean, but with medical tech, it was 100% your decision to take on the care of a person with a disability. You can't be mad that a world isn't bending to accommodate a small chunk of people & taking on the cost to do so. If you can't afford to take your child to a baby sitter that specializes in it, what makes you think a small day care can do that & cover all the costs to legally protect themselves when you choose to leave your child in a typical 3-1 daycare & your child who doesn't comprehend does something like smash a window & cut themselves? Or you decide they don't get enough attention knowing there's 4 caregivers per child & try to suit them for not delivering service? I know it's hard... But deciding it's the responsibility of other people to take on the cost & redesign their business is silly.

I'm not sure what state you live in but we in the Austin Texas area have a place called WBCO. They have a program called Headstart. Now this program is used by children without disabilities however they take children with disabilities before without. Yes they do fill their spot's but first for children with needs. Both my boy's had disabilities however they was not physical needs they was mental health needs. And yes my children was difficult. But they was so great for my boy's. By the time my boy's got to K they wanted to bump them up to 2nd grade I said NO. The only reason they was ahead was because this place taught my boy's instead of babysitting them. By the time they got to 2nd grade they was on level. This program cost me nothing. Both my boy's did it for free and it allowed me to work to pay our bills.... While knowing that my boy's was safe and in great hands. I am not sure if they have something like this by you but it's worth looking into.

Bother or not trained for It?

It comes down to money / staffing. I am a parent of a special needs child and understand where these other parents are coming from. The ratio of staff to kids had to be a lot higher with special.needs kids depending on their specific needs / disabilities. There are also other considerations; activities designed for them by someone who knows what they are doing, more safety considerations generally. . This all means more cost for the business so they either have to charge a lot more or not accept kids that require more attention. We've recently found a program for holidays and after school that is close to home and govt funded So very affordable. I am in Victoria, Australia

ATTENTION ADMIN: The "Company Website" in the video description, leads to a different Shark Tank Pitch.... PLEASE EDIT ACCORDINGLY.

@Mr Tango That's so ridiculous, men don't have more 'in depth' emotions than women. Emotions can run deep in everyone regardless of sex.

You NEVER make a "business" decision with your heart. Hence why I'll NEVER be a millionaire lol

😂 when come to money man won’t care because they know money can earned but woman 😂 every single Sen is counted but it’s not apply for food,makeup,jewellery and branded clothes

I think women still believe that they're still at a disadvantage business-wise, so they have to be extra careful not to lose what they've earned.

@@derekborba9574 f***k yeah Passion is key to any investment Yes jerks like Kevin O’Leary who don’t wanna lose a single penny can become millionaires too But u gotta have heart and passion into something to blossom into ,the Jeff Bezos and the Elon Musk’s of the world

Amen! Amen! Amen! It's about people, not money... this whole thing we call life. Your comment gave me chills.

Dragons den UK guys would have been out after 2mins. Aussies are really nicd people

I don't have children's this is why im out

Everyone was touched, is it a subject that is serious and heart-warming. Amanda was on the verge of crying but i think in her mind she was like : "It's just business".

Im not disabled, for that reason im out

Iam blind so iam out

Maybe they did off camera

while this video is quite heartwarming, that's exactly what I was thinking. Or if it's not done by (hopefully) well-funded NGOs, it should be provided by the public sector. It gives me strong late-capitalism vibes that people would have to pay 50 dollars a day just so they can send their special-needs child to nursery school. These parents should have the same easy access to childcare services as parents who were lucky enough to have healthy children.

Maybe because of other 3 investors.

Lol wtf

Stop. Just stop

are you calling disabled children broken? wtf.

@@thesnowleopard8e135 “broken & needy”

@@thesnowleopard8e135 yes he did...

up.

Totally agree. I went to their website as well and thought, "hmmm I don't think this is their daycare". I hope they fix it soon.

They've renamed their company since the episode. It is now Ruby and Ollie's rubyandollies.com.au/. @Admin.

alice zhong IDK, but if you click on their Facebook link at the bottom of the company website it goes to a FB page and their background picture has their company name and was posted in a 2015...their “awards” that are listed go back further than that. Unless this video is years old then I’m a little confused.

T N it’s definitely them. Ruby and Ollie are the names of their kids. It’s not uncommon for shark tank Aus to post super old videos

Exactly. What is hummingbird of all the business they have shares with.

Nezmo why?

@@diane9812 ikr why is it a surprise

Yup

They don’t have kids that are disabled and don’t understand how hard it is until it happens to them.

Nothing really to analyze about that because their gender doesn't really matter.

Since the Sharks involvement it's renamed Ruby and Ollies it's mentioned in a previous comment with a link, I checked it out 👍🙏🕊️ rubyandollies.com.au/

HMHMMHMH money money moni

She might think "I'm sososo smart, for that reason Im out" already with a fake smile before even speech.

Quarintine be like "Nah you staying in".

Nothing can stop Jenny being out

Lmao

haha

This thread is everything 😂☠️

Fantastic 👍, thanks for your update, cheers. 😊

I'm sorry for your loss 😭😢💐

She could, but she wouldn't.

Imo thats kinda messed up and manipulative, but money is money👌

this is why they wont do a charity version.

Maybe they just have a good social conscience. Also, they're all incredibly financially successful so it's not like they're risking everything to do something really good and desperately needed for kids with special needs. They're all parents so of course it's pulling at their heart strings. Not everyone is as cynical as you.

Elena Williams I don’t think it’s cynical I think it’s just honest like he doesn’t mean to be rude or anything

Idk they can act emotional all they want but if the buisness can't turn a profit then perhaps it's not a investment worth making in a "buisness"

LOL I thought the same shit! When they showed the video i was thinking their smiles were them saying fuck this shit lollll

I have very little business experience and knowledge but I think the reasoning for seeking help from the sharks is so they can make sure the business model is sound and to ensure that the business succeeds and they have stable cash flow and all the i's are dotted and t's are crossed so they can comfortably focus on the children rather than the business side
