Spot the psychopath!

This is hilarious yet very revealing re snakes in suits. Luckily the business idea was genuinely socially conscious and deserved the backing 100%. Great to see the greedy elite put in his place.

Dragons Den - Best Pitch Ever!

Thumbs up to the guys - a good example of great entrepreneurship. I felt they didn't really need the money, but mainly the high profile dragon backing. Enjoy.

That was enjoyable to watch. I must have watched every episode of the UK Dragons Den and loved it. The US version is the same.

I wonder though - to my mind the two dragons that bought into Ten Trees were just as much snakes in shirts as the other, more overtly snakey, dragons. This was good cop, bad cop. Ten Trees will wither and die because that's what snakes in suits do - go for maximum short term profit, then move onto something else. They may only have 20% to begin with, but they will end up controlling it, and sacrificing it for 'net income' - a nice term for that increasingly unfashionable word 'profit'- It's what western governments do isn't it - lend weaker nations some cash, end up controlling, raping and pillaging it.

I felt for the young lads - so naive.

I hope I'm wrong :)
