StoryCode.com Dragon's Den Pitch

[shawn2345677]

For all of you posting negative comments on Storycode, I assume you are all from the uk. What if Yelp was placed in front of you? Would you all say the same thing like "Google can copy it so easily".

US$475M valuation.(Business week)

[NateSean]

He put a lot of emphasis on Richard Farley. I wonder if that was the dragon he wanted from the start, the way some people want Theo straight away.

[androwbmx]

storycode doesnt exist anymore hmmmmmm................

[DrTheKay]

@theother223 you're not intelligent. The dragons never say that a product wont sell, they simply DO NOT WANT TO InVEST their own hard earned money in a gamble. Dumbarse

[garethdwright91]

Richard Farleigh is a nice guy

[bluehorse888]

yeah I dont see this idea having much merit either. Im surprised how these ppl dont take more advice and concerns from the dragons, you'd think they know something because afterall, they're already rich.

[niemanickurwa]

Who's the gimp Dragon on the left?

[ewaf88]

They all look so much younger (apart from Theo who never changes) - especially Debs. I wonder if Duncan ever argues with his wife when they're making love." No darling I don't want another Baby - so I'm out'

[sjoyce100]

the irony is this guy has produced a book called "google the love story" or something guess where hes selling it (not selling it) AMAZON !!!!!

[sjoyce100]

"how do you think its got here?" "its got no where" FAIL

[sjoyce100]

"how do you think its got here?" "its got no where" FAIL

[MrMaryJanes]

"Oops! Google Chrome could not find storycod . com"

[Ktulu1983]

Does anyone else have the overwhelming urge to slap Evan Davies across the face? Haven't been able to shake it for years.

[sjoyce100]

@Ktulu1983 yes it happens to have one of those faces you wanna slap

[kkma1453]

lol they went bust!

[NOHHissue]

What a terrible idea. Assuming every single retailer bough this bullshit that's only 500 a year. But obviously the small stores aren't going to pay for it, and every big one won't so AT BEST you could get maybe 100 customers...

[Kousaburo]

Bad idea.

[MrTerrifyer]

Steve looks like a polar bear

[j124life]

Its true... Unless there is some kind of patent that I am unaware of that no one can copy his storycode rating mechanism, not amazon or peter or anyone else.

[MrJayel27]

How is this a new idea?Theres review sites all over the place lol,..and being obnoxious and arguing with potential investors isnt exactly going to help is it : /

[stevenuenosmith]

its no longer online. seems like it was a failure.

[JamilELBarbir]

debbora is a bitch

[Sxrule]

anything that is even loosely competing with big companies like amazon is a bit silly, unless you can get them on side you have no chance. its like trying to come out with a new type of coke,

[MrHowToDoIt]

@Sxrule

That happened already. They just tweaked the delivery system. One goes in your mouth, the other up your nose.

[Timsalt3100]

the best bit of this pitch was when the dragons said started saying i am out

[ChineseFoodEatnNigga]

The presenter has a BAD attitude

[kemoblue4u]

worlds most famous book shop? lol ive never ven heard of that

[dolly19631]

think theo wants to kick this twat in the conkers

[solidsnake1211]

..He looks like a parrot :/

[looknfortruth]

omg,how ugly is yer woman..scary

[ProfRogers]

I love Richard Farleigh's smug smile at 8.23 !! lol

[ak47popper]

What I find hilarious is all the little snivelling twats writing comments about the guy that went into the den will never get as far as him. At least he's being proactive and not writing comments on a youtube video about someone.

Sad sad people

[MrUsername5678888]

@ak47popper Um, how do you know he doesn't go on youtube and make comments on here? lol he might be just a big a twat as you and I.

[messianicrogue]

@ak47popper I guess i am a snivelling twat for making a comment - yet i am proactive and have no need to beg for someone elses money to pay wages for a vapour company. I also wouldn't approach the minor players to test an idea, if it worth something it is worth getting the big guys in on.

[supahdupahguy81]

@ak47popper

Meanwhile you're writing comments on a youtube video complaining about ppl who write comments on youtube videos......

i hope the irony isn't lost on you....

[ak47popper]

@supahdupahguy81 It is

[can0mark]

@ak47popper

First of all, thanks for the massive irony.

Second, the guy estimated the worth of his company at 1 million pounds while he had a turnover of 500 pounds. Its an absolute ludicrous estimate. Even if he were to get a new client every day his company wouldnt be worth the investment he was asking for.

[ak47popper]

@can0mark I'll ignore the fact you dragged a month old conversation from the graveyard. You're missing the point.

[can0mark]

@ak47popper

You're not ignoring the fact, since you just brought it up. So why dont you just say what this so called point is.

[gowiemeister]

Pawned.

[Camelsarse]

Salaries!! Yeah alright mate, they'll give you the money! Jesus fecking Christ.

[tommyds69]

he should'nt laugh when he says he is a google consultant. He is laughing at himself...haha im so pathetic im a google consultant, 

[spirokoumoulas]

u r so annoying but the theo guy is mad

[nowisyourtime]

steves an arrogant arse, dont go asking for help n then act like that!

[eazi0]

@nowisyourtime look at the size of his nose, no wonder he got no offer.

[OpenHousesInc]

the thing that didn't resonate well with me is when he says that he is a Google Consultant. from what he said afterward, I take it that he is an SEO consultant. That is MUCH different that being a Google consultant. If I were an investor, that would caused me to to lose faith in his remaining pitch. Again this is only my opinion based on this video.

[LTInSoMnIa]

So naive it hurts.

[Carbon657]

Fewer than one in ten websites survive the first year of trading?,damn thats tough.

[pipzor]

@Carbon657 Takes a few hours to make a website, the easier it is to create something, more garbage will be out there.

[shirhh]

hahahahahaaa Amazon made this system to review book

[MrJamesonStyles]

@shirhh Because someone from Amazon watched the program and went "Oh! He didn't patent it!"

[JosephSolomonUS]

Steve "How do you think it's got here?"

Peter "Well it's got no where".

Epic and priceless.

[shos0001]

the female dragon spewing fire.

[xEmzii29]

i have home work on this subject i have to find the good points he does likee handing out things and the bad points like he doesnt mention the crap stuff about his product...can some one help please?

[GothEmoWC]

Wow! A website that lets users rate and review products, no one has EVER thought of that......

[GaryJMcGeown]

hmm

[ThePPUK]

@0.22

[s0undtribe]

holy fuck thats in the top 5 biggest noses i have ever seen

[dilwich123]

@s0undtribe Hahahaha Whos at No1?

[TerrySavage86]

lol how can he ask for other investors money to pay off other peoples time and investment in the company. idiot.

[theguvnorjimmy]

This guy is a slimey loser.

[06palmera]

does anyone agree with me that theo looks like a mole \ owl. i really detest dragons den basically because because of peter, crepy mole\decrepered owl and the drowning elf who comintates

[scratchaholiks]

I want to have sex with deborah

[scotsguy77]

You want to have sex with Deborah? When exacty did the doctors let you out of the mental hospital?

[scratchaholiks]

Why would i need to be mentally disbaled to want to have Passionate sex with Deborah Meadan? I Think she's a very attractive woman.

[scotsguy77]

Look at the Dragons walking at the start of the programme. She walks as If she has "piles". Maybe you like the old dogs & dominant women. You think she's attractive? I suggest "Specsavers."

[scratchaholiks]

Thanks but i'm perfectly fine.

[666fannyfart]

huge mate her tits are huge and you as a beginner couldnt cope with the sheer weight of those tits...

[happykillermech]

@666fannyfart

yeh, your right, even I wouldn't handle the weight of million pounds titties... pounds as in pound sterling.

[666fannyfart]

i might want to have sex with her but you could not handle her big heavy tits.....

[theother223]

These "dragons" are NOT the smartest people in the word. I have seen many instances where they got all wrong. They can decide because they have the money. What this programme needs is one or two smart people in addition to the five sitting in the den.

[thegreatNEb]

@theother223

but what would these 'smart-but-poor' people ultimately contribute? The 'right answer'?

All that really matters in the business world is the money, so that necessarily is the bottom line. If you don't entice that, then you have nothing

[sohaibmansoor]

first of all this whole idea of feedback and recommendation system as data mining for online sales, is pretty much old. any one who has basic knowledge of php and sql, can develop it in few days.

[thomas0147hk]

it is a very good presentation

[actuary33]

Does that woman ever invest in anyone???

[NiklasHancock]

yea that chicks a bi a tch

[musharoom]

I can't see why that mopy faced woman is on this show at all. She has no faith in anyone.

[TrailersAndTrash]

She hasn't got a bloody penny to invest in anything anyway.

[mrbill1000]

the salaries thing probably sealed his fate.. although his idea was kinda confusing from the get go.

[badass147]

i just love this show, its the raw truth about what will and what won't work/succede

[Ventureneer]

Great insight into whats necessary for a startup to succeed. One thing that is forgotten is the importance of a great support system. For a humorous look at the many shapes and sizes support for social entrepreneurs comes in, check out Ventureneers video.

[Edmond346]

lol storycode's website no longer exists :P

[jennythemusicmaker]

@Edmond346 Lol yeah once when I was bored I looked for various websites and hardly any still exist. xD xD

[RamonAllnightlong]

Amazon already does this. This guy just didn't do his homework. The way Amazon does it is analyzes to things: other items purchased after a certain item is purchased, and other items viewed after an item is purchased.

Going on about creating a unique DNA code is a load of bollocks if he didn't take these two factors in mind.

[noname47000]

"Deborah, did I hear you say you were a reader of books?"

"Actually, you know what Steve? I'm out."

Fucking hilarious

[stig781]

My pitch: "Hello, I'm looking for an investment of £500,000 into my bank account, for a share of 0%"

[mikefiore6]

Dragon says: "I will consider your investment proposal, but only if you offer me a share of 51% for 45 pounds.

[nomadicsx]

i'm in!!!

[vanpersiesalegend]

deborah never puts money into anything... does she actually have money?

id still fuck her

[marcpreston1]

She is actually a horror, I never see her buying shit either

[sharkl11]

ur sick

[vanpersiesalegend]

why?

[sharkl11]

Yep, the sickos never know why

[PowNageMeiSter]

Richard gave an amazingly acute analysis and destroyed him and his business

[addstudent]

Hmm, the website doesn't exist. :P

[RLP1188]

I think its funny how these people argue with the dragons and try to make them sound wrong, I think the people sat there that have made millions of pounds know exactly what they are on about, would explain why you come to them for help lol! Some stupid people come on here haha. But it makes for good entertainment!

[RapidNova]

Deborah Meaden wasnt harsh or stupid at all.. He was telling her she was wrong (which she wasnt, opinions cant be wrong lol).She probs thought, how can she work with someone who tinhks hes aways right.. If he wants help, he should act like it..

Pubuman, if you make quite a lot of money selling useless stuff, your a fucking genius!! I really dont see how yu can call her stupid for it -.- I dont see you sitting up there..

[mecrazy5]

I have met Peter Jones, hes a realy nice man.

[SuperYellafella]

Theo is a legend, if i had to work with one of the dragons it would be him.

[bravedude3000]

ownededededededededededededede­d

[ecrdab747]

The first time I saw Deborah, I thought it was Susan Boyle. Loooooooooooolllll !!!!!!!!!!!

[TheConciseStatement]

All the Deborah Meaden haters can sod off. Here she makes the most acute insight into the Foyle's purchase and why it's muddying the clarity of the pitch. She's straight and to the point as soon as there's a communication breakdown. Out of all the Dragons, she's the one that doesn't play any games.

[pubuman]

Deborah is a stupid bitch - look at her thinking she knows stuff.... she knows nothing, she made money buy doing stupid useless stuff!

[anthonyicuk]

Yes but youve forgotten to mention she has the most hair out of ALL the dragons.

[megawonderland]

I freakin' freakin ' freakin' cant stand Deborah Meaden either. Thinks she knows everything.

[ThunderStruck1100]

i like deborah ,why pick on her ? compared to theo and duncan shes very nice .

[Dupe16118]

I hate Deborah Meaden - fucking old slag

[Conceptskatemedia]

A very good presentation tho

[adsaf20]

what a silly guy

[NewTracks001]

An arrogant and stupid man.

[kingamer115]

i didnt even get his idea man .. he didnt exlplain it good i guess !! idiot

[ProfessorPiano]

Yeah it was quite confusing. I only understood when Theo asked the question.

It's a recommendation of books system. But these things already exist (As Richard said)

[demonicnature]

what happened to sexy rachael?

[ahtremblay]

she went bankrupt, google it.

[danishh1]

What a useless idea!

[capitalsho]

I have the perfect idea to pitch. A Wife Remote Control. The device has a pause button and volume control.

[joetri10]

holy..  this is the one thats on rite now!!. i just want to know the other dragon is replaced

[walrus98]

anyone know how storycode got on? after this pitch?

[EldestSauce]

they have no website so probably the way everyone except him said it would

[antonisprotopapas]

I cannot begin to explain how much I despise of deborah meaden

[findusfunk]

Agree, she is beyond arrogant.

[DoNotuseEbid]

Richard OWNED HIM. get back down those stairs you plonker

[bigforrap]

Hi reply to the Amazon monopoly question was crap. He lost all face in that 1 minute.

[Invesigator]

The contestant, in the video featured above, seemed like going up the stairs in a dancing motion (swinging from left to right whilst going up the stairs). Watch him!

[Darksign1994]

wtf? 500$ is nothin with 500$ a day or so i would be very happy ---> wth ?

sry for my bad english ;D

[icemane617]

no not 500£ a day 500£ a year

[bentits]

Fuck you all steve was a nice dude

[flashbeaglesjourney]

steve really is an arrogant prick huh

[phreak761]

Steve I'm pretty sure someone has told you this before but.... you are a twat.

[noname47000]

What a delusional fucking moron. EPIC FAIL.

[spiderfly916]

Website doesn't work, nuff said!

[salemkid1979]

"theo wants to know how you plan on spending the money"

Answer, im a google "consultant" and my coke habit has come to a stalemate, so we need 200 grand so i can suck half of columbia up my beak

[rikhanz]

hmm nice, very nice

[ch1mpanzeethat]

hahaha nice one

[rdonadon]

grandiosa questa cosa.

[stonegoldalk]

i thought this already existed ah well

[phreak761]

It did exist for about 5 minutes before Steve the arrogant tosser realised what a waste of time it was and topped himself.

[jonpvrmx]

Steve Johnson is a typical southern wanker, what a arrogant prick with a stupid idea.

[b5e5n1n9y86]

Back in the day Debra Meadon would have been burned at the stake. Pity we've evolved.

[4ortune500]

fuck you faggot

[tomabbott23]

pussy

[4ortune500]

no i licked your mums pussy faggot

[tomabbott23]

i don't even know my mum

[blueneonrainbow]

Poor bloke!!! They need to be rude but not that rude!!

[Seano71]

Amazon have a better system, they have a list of recommendations using products bought or even searched on the site

[JaTochNietDan]

The problem with any website is that it can be replicated by any person that knows even a bit of PHP/HTML/CSS, thats all. This site would be so easy to replicate, but I don't see how it can make cash.

[HIGHPRESSURE979]

I like watching this, I remember a bloke once who gave Theo business lessons then said he'd sue Theo if he copied him, Theo was gob smacked

[phreak761]

Yeah I remember it was that bloke selling those itza things, I'd love to see that again if you can find it it was absolutely hilarious. "Theo I'm not a schmuck so don't treat me like one!"

[HIGHPRESSURE979]

Yes, Theo's face when someone brings something crap into Den is hilarious anyway, but when he said he'd sue him, he goes "woh woh"

[Pr0t0sz]

What a stupid idea.

[Sia1989]

what an idiot. all that shit for £500 a year.

[iwantnovacaine]

it doesn't exist, so delete the video...put us all out our misery. this is an advert for a company that doesn't exist.

[Emp454]

The site was crap! It's gone now...

[rikhanz]

.... :)

[SPAG22]

A credit crunch casualty?

[thePENANCE]

K, honestly, I'm not going to spend 5 hours answering useless questions that I probably won't even listen to. If I read 'The Seventh Tower' and I wanted a similar book; I would just search for Fantasy books; or if I read something like Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six, I would look for Action books

[keybordjihad]

poor product but this show is fantastic!! i totally love the dragons :D they're great!!

[vatten1]

I Like this show

[xms32]

Terrible product. Amazon already has had this type of system in place for years.

[Xephur]

Does anyone care about copyright violation?

The poor BBC...

[S2000TypeRVTEC3]

Are you new to Youtube? Or for that matter, the Internet? Strike one down, thousands will replace it.

[TheSockies]

heheh, internet videos are like the hydra, take one down, two shall replace it.

[billybyrne1]

loser

[ixobileixobile]

im not going to sit around and answer 40 questions after i read a long book. what a crappy product

[TutorialsForKeeps19]

deBRAs a dickhead

[thewerecactus]

no she isn't imo. Shes thinking with a clear head. For the sake of a business deal you must learn to set emotions aside and make a decisive move. Cool, analytical and calculating. Shes the perfect executive.

[barryboy121]

Debra meedan pisses me right off..

[TutorialsForKeeps19]

not just you, shes pissed the fuck outa everyone, shes bitch

[kouneli3]

cockey bastard...he wasnt even willing to listen to the investors. he aint going nowhere.

[torau666]

if i was the dragons den i would have told him to open his book lay his cock in it and then slam it shut because thats how fucking stupid his idea was, then id rip out the cover and wipe my ass with it.
