Because Imran's sibling lost the bet, he had to wear the teddy bear costume for his brother's pitch on Dragons' Den. The iTeddy went on to be one of Dragons' Den's most successful product investments. Imran's seeking a £140,000 investment in exchange for a 15% stake in the business.
Season 4, Episode 2
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.

@dd100in Год назад

For the time that you are on Earth, would you say the pursuit of ensuring that I or any of my future generations don’t ever have to worry about money is not a worthwhile endeavour? If so, then why would you say so? Money is an enabler, money is required, and money objectively makes life easier. Putti bc on your own mask first and keeping it firmly there (if you ask where is the limit to it), I feel, is an extremely worthwhile pursuit. Also, he created probably hundreds of livelihoods using his activities. The most impact is not always created thinking through the heart

@frankzappaspussy7362 Год назад

with a patent (which i did not think he could get) - then obviously much more potential than any chilly sauce..

He is a rich man now and that was quick from 6 months starting to make it to ending up in partnership with these 2 dragons. Nice!

@SaraMKay 3 месяца назад

That’s absolutely true and if we believe the statistics and predictions, this actual fact’s not going to change anytime soon and rather the numbers are increasing. Less children will be born but of these few, most will grow up without the father. I had a dad but my bedtime stories were read by my grandmother. If it wasn’t for her, I would have died a long time ago, or maybe if I lived, would be in prison. I’m 100% certain bedtime stories from a book are immensely important for a child’s development, regardless who reads or tells it. A parent or relative is a luxury I’m afraid today’s kids do not have that much anymore. *there’s *fathers, btw
