Right Folks,

Sean Gallagher from Dragons Den will be in the Well by the end of the week hopefully.
I've been in contact with him and he said he would do one but he's abroad at the moment. Hopefully it'll be around Friday.

I'm sure most regulars will be happy to pick his brain with a few questions.

Also, anyone wishing to take a cheap shot at him or the show will be banned from this forum.
If this goes well it will set the precedent for more successful Irish Entrepreneurs to join us here on Boards for Q&A.

Judging by the thread The irish Dragons Den, a lot of people may face bans so... there was a lot of negativity about it, and Sean..


I look forward to him being on the boards. cool of him.

Thats great, I saw the sticky and thought it was going to be that chap from daft.ie, didn't he buy a percentage of boards recently.

Also I think it was mostly the english woman and the quality of idea's that got stick. Sean came across the best out of all the dragons imo, he was the only one who was helpful and not trying to make a name for himself for being a ball breaking dragon.

Hear, hear.

Great work. The quality of the Q&A's has been awesome so far. Can't believe it's being stepped up further!

Ok ,here is one.

How many of the investments agreed on the show were completed ?

Sonnenblumen

Some Qs

Have all monies been invested and how were these structured, eg Ord Shares, Pref shares or loans?

How many of the investments does he expect will see commercial light of day?

Does the relatively small amount of funds invested throughout the series reflect a general weakness of most of the business case proposals and/or risk-averse Dragons?

What is his preferred exit strategy?

So, what happened?
Could it be Sean looked through the threads and decided people here were too negative? There were an awful lot of personal remarks about Members of the Den.

I hope that is not the case, I really was looking forward to this Q/A
