Dragons Den UK is airing episodes of their twelfth season right now as is the Canadian version of Dragons Den in their ninth season. I catch those online through my VPN on the BBC and CBC web sites. They even started up a Shark Tank Australia edition a few weeks ago that is also pretty entertaining. I'm not sure if the Irish version of Dragons Den is coming back for a seventh season however.

Got me! Here in NYC (and I assume the rest of the States?) Tuesday and Wednesday night on CNBC they have four Shark Tanks on for the night, almost back-to-back (Restuarant Startup is in-between). So it's must viewing while I slave away - I mean, work - on my projects. Snowing and cold all Winter here in NYC so it's good company (til Spring that is).

New episodes are great! The one a couple weeks ago where all 3 of the tech guys (Mark, Kevin and Robert) got pissed at Lori and Damon and walked out in a huff. LOL I gotta check out Dragon's Den!

This gives me a super great idea!!

1) I'll go to Fiverr and have someone translate a help wanted poster into Chinese offering to pay $1 for every cat someone draws.

2) Again on Fiverr I'll pay someone $5 to put those posters up around China.

3) Then I'll take orders for $8.99 and under cut this guy's business.

In that Reddit thread, the guy says he thinks he burned his bridges with Cuban by deciding to close the cat business and not do anything else he promised Cuban either. Even though the cat business was bringing in six figure revenue, he thought it would be easier to keep his day job than keep his promises to his investor.

BULLSHIT.

Guy comes in, does a little dance, and is seeking 10K for 25% of his "company" (meaning he thinks it's worth 40K). What's his "company"? I Want To Draw A Cat For You. People write in to his website, describe the kind of cat they want drawn, and this fucktard sits down at his kitchen table every night and scratches out a stick figure cat drawing. He sells them for $9.99 and has sold about a thousand of them over a year's time.

So guess what happens? Mark Cuban offers him 25K - or 2.5 times what the shmuck is seeking - for 33% of his "company". Dude accepts (duh) and he and Cuban do a little cat dance together.

The cat drawing dude made a couple hundred a week doing this bullshit and now he has a business worthy of being on Shark Tank? Look for The Porn Nerd on there soon, pitching the sharks on his wild-ass outsourced 'profit margins' and the 'scaleability' of his growing Internet media network.

Someone please shoot me.

Damn. That's a business model, right ? And all of this only with cats ?
I bow before that cat - guy .

Best episode has to be James Martin with the wine by the glass. He came on twice and left both times without a deal.

Totally! I agree with you so much!

He got people to help color in the cats but not draw them. And he wasted money on commercial space for the colonists, when that is the most obvious freaking outsource job ever.
