It doesn't say they're going to buy anything. It's a five year agreement, It has no minimums in it”. Despite her insistence that the agreement would result in a lucrative deal, Jenkins became the first Dragon to take himself out of investing. A pitch given by Sam Jones, founder of Gener8 Ads. A near perfect example of talking us through the problem they were looking to solve, how they are were going to solve it and how we as investors were likely to make a return. Dragons’ Den is one of those rare programmes where families across all the generations can sit, watch, debate and have a view on, from great grandchildren to great grandparents and everyone in between. It also lifts the lid on the many faces of business. Seeing different people, businesses and ideas inspires so many to think of going into Business for themselves and in doing so literally changes lives. The funding announcement comes two months after the firm published its accounts for the year ended March 31 2019, revealing how growth had shifted up a gear. In two more days, the seeds should have started to grow. The white stuff around the seeds are roots (not mold).

North East entrepreneur and Dragon’s Den star Sara Davies has secured funding of her own to help boost global sales of her growing business, Crafter’s Companion. Dan Robson, who runs the company with his brother Joe, pitched his business on the show last night (19 January) where he secured the investment from fellow North East-based entrepreneur Sara Davies. Dr Hayaatun Sillem CBE, CEO of the Royal Academy of Engineering, said: “We’re delighted to have Deborah Meaden involved with National Engineering Day. Her passion and dedication to sustainability are an inspiration to entrepreneurs across the UK, and we hope her commitment to innovation will help stimulate a new generation of creators.I think it's so popular because of the entrepreneurs. Even when you think you have seen it all, you haven't, something or someone amazing could walk through those lift doors at any moment! Mr Robson, who runs the company with his graphic designer brother Joe, added: “I’ve always been a huge fan of Dragons’ Den, and after many years of shouting at the TV, my wife convinced me to apply to appear on the programme. Entering the Den is very different to watching it at home; it was by far one of the challenging experiences of my life, but I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Investment from Sara is the absolute dream having witnessed what she has achieved for North East business.

Bartlett was born in Botswana to a Nigerian mum and a British dad. His mum left school aged seven and can’t read or write, his dad was a structural engineer and “very, very smart”. The family (he is the youngest of four siblings) moved to Plymouth, Devon, where they “struggled financially in a nice, white, middle-class area”, something he expands upon in his bestselling book, Happy Sexy Millionaire. That feeling of otherness, of not having “the nice things other people had”, drove him. Roots tells of how he became acquainted with the Bard during his time in prison: “A lady came in and threw The Complete Works of Shakespeare at me.” He recites a passage from Caesar, where Brutus said:

The company – based in Tyne Tunnel Trading Estate in North Tyneside – had already scored a level of success before Mr Robson went before the panel of millionaire investors, having landed a contract with supermarket chain Asda last May to see its product sold in almost 150 stores throughout the UK. She’s been into the business to see us a couple of times and it’s just nice to have someone on board who’s been there and who’s achieved so much in their career. I also think with us both being product-based it’s really nice to be able to talk to somebody who’s from that world as well.’ https://www.statista.com/statistics/1147635/distribution-of-tiktok-influencer-audience-by-age-and-gender-uk/ [ Dragons’ Den is commissioned for BBC One and iPlayer by Kalpna Patel-Knight, Head of Entertainment Commissioning, the Commissioning editor for BBC Entertainment is Sarah Clay.

For other forms of disinformation – beyond obvious hate speech and encouragement to suicide – automated identification is likely to be more problematic. This will doubtless lead to even greater foot-dragging from the social-media companies. Much of the problem is that judging harm is not just way beyond the power of algorithms, it's not all that easy for humans. Text, video and images are often difficult to classify. As US Supreme Court judge Potter Stewart remarked in a landmark case over a Louis Malle movie in 1964: "I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description ["hard-core pornography"] and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it and the motion picture involved in this case is not that." Dan has been intent on making Grow Sow Simple work since the day he finished his degree. ‘I did a masters course in multi-disciplinary design innovation at Northumbria University and as part of that I did a project working with guerrilla gardeners,’ he explains. ‘These guys find derelict or disused plots of land that are being ignored or neglected and in the dead of night they tidy up the land, put flowers down and make it really pretty. I always wanted to work with the guerrilla gardeners so when I found out there was a small community in Newcastle, I went with them.Read on for the business lessons you can learn from this week's hit and miss pitches… Steven Reynolds Grow Sow Simple was established in 2014 to 'get people growing' with products such as its biodegradable SeedCell that can be pushed straight into the soil, as well as Microgrow kits and children's 3D puzzle gardening sets. His key advice for creating a successful business is being unromantic about your hypothesis. After all, Jeff Bezos originally looked to create an online bookstore. Next into the Den was engineer-turned-entrepreneur Matthew Statham with his wood-burning stove ignition system; Autoblaze. The committee published its report on Monday (18 February 2019) into disinformation and fake news in the wake of multiple scandals both in the UK and US where state actors and other well-funded interests skewed the information people see in their social-media applications. Some of the problems stem from the companies putting growth above all other considerations when determining when and how to use personal data and in choosing the kinds of content they promote. Although the companies like to argue they are simply vehicles for others' content, they have to a large extent compromised their own defence by working against their users' interests.
