"You Love Chocolate More Than You Love Business" | Shark Tank AUS 

Love the fact that he didn’t make the whole pitch about his recovery from cancer. It’s amazing how he did not want a pity offer. Wish him best of luck

That might of been the most professional pitch I've ever seen. And despite his numbers being poor in their opinion, his knowledge of the numbers in general was excellent. Well done guy

This guy was extremely professional, knew his numbers and didn’t dilly dally.

"I was diagnosed with cancer 6 years ago" You can see the "oh shit" look on their faces.

I half expected Janine to demand 197% of the business for $600k, but it seems that darn chocolate really was better than sex.

This guy is typically German, no beating about the bush and getting straight to the point and BEST QUALITY products

What I like about Aussie Shark Tank is that all of the VC's get up to congratulate the entrepreneur after their pitch not just the ones who benefit from the deal only. Shows class.

What an humble and professional guy, I really glad he got a deal I wish him all the best

Lovely chap seemed very humble polite and well mannered, wish all the best for him

The humbleness of saying I'm not really great at the business side, I just want to be able to share the chocolate and I need help is immense.

Saying a guy paying his workers properly is poor management 🙄 come on not all of us want our employees living off of scraps

His percentages were actually quite reasonable, and to be putting 6 figures on the bottom line every year is a fantastic result. They just didnt want to spend 600k, thats what it came down to.

Ow no am starting to get addicted to these clips , HELP 😂

I think we should seriously start a petition of some kind, or otherwise 'request' to bring back Shark Tank Australia. They are honest, entertaining, endearing, educational, but most importantly, inspirational. Who else would be down for trying to start a movement of some kind to bring back ST AU?

Naomi, $600,000 is way more money than I have in my bank account, so I'm out!

You can tell how polite these sharks are. I mean they all get up to congratulate the entrepreneur. How sweet is that

There’s a guy close to where i live that makes and sells chocolate. He said he makes 15000 chocolates in a week and he works all alone too. He has to get 1000 chocolates ready everyday because some people travel there by boat just to try the chocolate. It was mind-blowing to hear that he does all of that ALONE. He also makes chocolate that tastes exactly like some foods. He took the ingredients/flavours of a cinnamon roll and made it into chocolate and it tasted EXACTLY like a cinnamon roll

"Funding Round Jun 20, 2018 Ganache Chocolate raised $600,000" and "Est. Annual Revenue$3.5M" So I guess the deal with Janine went threw.

They're always like, "You suck at business! You don't know what you're doing!" And the guests are always like, "Yeah! Exactly! That's why I'm here!" I need help!" 🤣

I think it’s insane that on some businesses, the sharks are like “mm I don’t like the valuation (or smth like that) so instead of 20% I want 40%.” But then here they’re like “oh woah you want me to take 40%?? So you just don’t care about the business???” Make it make sense

this dude right here is a true professional. if I were him, I would be crying and beging for the shark's pity with the cancer upstart. He just answered "it's all good" and went into his most favorite thing, chocolate. Hope there would be a day to enjoy that Ganache Chocolate. Cheers.

I love the fact that in the australian version all the sharks stand up to congratulate the pitcher once he's closed a deal

Naomi has a meeting with Jenny and Barbara to discuss who can go out the quickest.

Everyone loves chocolate more than business. If you don't, there's something wrong with you.

An honest entrepreneur with a very good and potentially great business. I feel if he started at 20% stake for the same amount of money, more sharks would have been compelled to offer and negotiate the stake up to 40% 😃. There would have been a sense of achievement for the sharks without the uncomfortable lecture of reminding him that he is a minority shareholder now. In the end, a good deal for both.

He’s so humble and eager to listen

This chocolate guys is such a gentleman..really love the way he speaks and hr is dedicated to his craft !! Why no one is trying to help him out ? It is crazy..

Thank god Janine didnt come out with weird percentage numbers.

I'm surprised, I thought Naomi was going to offer the full amount for 100% of the business!

Steve gets excited when he sees the food hat as knows food is involved

No drama just straight to the point. Gotta love the germans.

They're still posting episodes?! Yes!!!

Incredible story I wish this man health and success.

These people are good hearted. Makes me teary. Even Glen saluted Janine for being good hearted.

We DO love Chocolate and Business!

He came across as an honest and work a holic - super.

Janine was thinking too long about why her husband's love-making is not better than chocolate. 🍩

Like how the other sharks get excited when the guy gets a deal these people are very classy

Good guy. So good to work with, that the management may be ripping him. He will now be helped.

Did she say 30% of the income going to staff wages was a bad thing? In her mind it should be 10% for wages, 10% running costs and 80% for her lol

"Money talks but chocolate sings" 😂

Steve jots down on his pad: "Niiccccee Hat"

i just started watching the AU version over the past few days and damn, they should just call it Shark Tank: Wholesome Edition

Ultimate dedication. Great attitude

Hes awesome and good luck.to him he's so humble kind and patient.

What a way to say you made the 'right' choice! "Good heart decision" 😂

True test of character. While all the sharks chickened out, only genuine stood out clearly apart from the others.

Do Australians in general smile widely whenever they meet strangers?

I like how in Shark tank Australia they all get up to congratulate the entrepreneur for getting the deal whilst in US they just sit on their asses

COnditions were awesome. It will help him grow his business.

He should have asked for 25% and allowed them to take 40. Offering the big chunk at the very offset set off alarm.

Investment are stepping stones to success, investment is what create wealth

Thoes chocolates looks mighty fine look delicious!!!!

First time im seeing an entrepreneur walking into the tank that is willingly giving away that much equity of his business right from the very beginning. It's almost half of the business. I think this man just wanna see the business grow massively and doesn't care bout the money and the ownership. And yeah that's been well said, he loves chocolate more than business. 🤗

Definitely expected Janine to say “okay I’ll give you 600k. But only in return for 129% of your business along with your fist born child”

Love the Australian Sharks.

Beautiful human being.

Seems like such an awesome guy.

Didn't realize how short he was until the end.

“That’s actually quite smaaaaaaawwwwwlll” - no it’s fucking minuscule!

Are there any follow-up stories for this show?

Shark Tank Australia is the best in the world, I love all the sharks. They are not mean Just for the sake of It, every criticism ia very sound.

...and she's not godzilla. LOL I love the Ausies.

I like that the hat makes him just slightly taller than everyone else

I've yet to see Andrew offer. He's sound though so it's all good

Any update on the business?

'Good heart decision' hahahaha

I want the Juice! Is the Partner snuffing money from the company? Is the Chocolatier aware of this? Are the Oompah Loompas in on it? I want answers

“My wife is called Ganache chocolate” Steve: she tastes good

Post more videos!

He reminds me of Josh (from the Mythical kitchen)

Great to get new Ideas

“And that’s why I’m ...” “gonna make u an offer” WHAT?!?!?!

I watch shark tanks and improve so much in business

Naomi: This investment involves numbers, so for that reason, I’m out.

This guy taught me to make my own chocolate bar! Such a nice guy :)

this this air in 2018 ?

Sheeeeeesh

Good guy

naomi: i cant help anybody , so for that reason im out.

Best of luck mr. Arno. If you were to ever decide to ship to India, I'd definitely order your chocolates.

How do you bring cost of wages percentages down? Pay cuts?

HE IS SO TINY LMAOOO

Great deal

Wow thank god somebody aggreed he seems like a nice guy💟

Tbh the fact that Naomi has been to his stores and is a fan is a good sign. His margins were just horrible

I think this guy did not really think it through... If he were to come asking for a lesser amount of money with lesser percentage on offer, then iam sure all the other sharks would be more than happy and confident to back his business!...

They closed their retail shops and only do wholesale now.

Everyone loves dark chocolate 🍫 😋

Can someone help me out here? Janine wants him to reduce his cost of goods to 33% and his cost of wage to 30%. Is this % based on cost of production or total operation expense

he is like a angry npc chef

Love you Jeanine!

I love him ❤️

this show got discontinued in2018, and they still uploading episodes on youtube

Janine is an incredible investor. World class.

I really reallly wish his business takes off high

He has such an interesting accent, it's like a subtle blend of Aussie, South African, and French Edit: welp guess he grew up in Germany, that's where I was getting the South African from...

Australia chocolates are one of the best

NAOMI: I spent all my money on your chocolate so I'm out

He is a professional knowing his business very well while based on the claim it is very profitable. Why he is willing to give away such big chunk of the business thats suspicious? He could get what he asked with much less portion of the business. Maybe there is something he is not telling us.
