TV Criticism
Nothing really threw investors off their seats in the seventh episode. Neither a grinder for bars of soap nor roof boxes made of plant fibers or turbo-stimulants for the deadlock. There was nagging and grumbling – until a duo from northern Germany made hearts beat faster.
Love is in the cave! With Nicole and Bernd, the founders of Early Green, the capitalist arena became a cozy love nest. The couple from Timmendorfer Strand pulled the lion’s tooth completely. “We very seldom have entrepreneurs here,” enthused Judith Williams, “who have such a wonderfully balanced unit like you”. And Ralf Dümmel exclaimed, touched: “You hold hands the whole time, that’s so cute!” The succinct answer of the two lovebirds: “We really like each other.”
The presented products:
• Asphaltkind – Roof boxes made from flax fibers
• – Ready-to-use seitan mixes as a meat alternative
• Scooper – Energy pads with natural caffeine
• – Soap dispenser for solid soap
• Wryte – Digital staplers for students
Founder of the heart
Apparently love actually goes through the stomach. Nicole and Bernd got together with their ready-made seitan mixes (the stern tested the product in advance) fulfilled a common dream of a lifetime. The product of However, the steak, gyros and burger flavors were not only found among investors. Carsten Maschmeyer, in particular, chewed on the vegan pads in a disgruntled manner. “When I bite through, I have the feeling that something is still pulling,” he grumbled at first erratically. Later it became clearer: “It looks like meat, but I don’t feel any meat in my mouth.” Judith Williams and Georg Kofler were bothered by the high gluten content of the meat fakes, which was a problem for their stomachs. Only Ralf Dümmel (“I am the total meat eater”) and Nils Glagau (“I know my way around vegan”) came out as unreserved fans, who liked not only the taste, but also the powder form of the product. A short battle. Deal stupid.
Offer Wöhrl – zero enthusiasm
What should you do if there is only one offer? Decline and say: “Really nice of you, Ms. Wöhrl, but actually we would have found Mr. Dümmel or Mr. Glagau more awesome”? The two founders of Scooper tensed the 17 facial muscles that are necessary for a smile, using all their strength. It was more than surprising that the Franconian family entrepreneur made an offer at all. Because: Scooper fell through with the investors crashing. Judith Williams found the caffeine sachets that you put in your cheek pouch or under your upper lip “not such a nice experience”. The most violent gossip came from Nils Glagau. “I have to take you apart a bit,” he began his tirade. There is nothing in the pick-me-up that is not in comparable products. “I have one myself that I would say is superior to yours.” Bang. And then Dagmar Wöhrl came around the corner. Cheeeese!
“You need soap for the soap”
Liquid soaps are a packaging sin, of course. But are solid soaps that are mushy in the bowl after a short time a hygienic alternative? Of the is a kind of pepper mill for soaps (the stern tested the product in advance). The pieces are ground into fine flakes, no more smearing and less plastic waste. Actually awesome. The investors, however, viewed the invention critically. “What does your mill look like after it has been used by a few dirty children’s hands?” Asked Nils Glagau. “You need soap for the soap”, Carsten Maschmeyer interjected with a smirk. Judith Williams knew “much more revolutionary concepts” – for example the soap tablets from Sausebrause, in which she recently invested. Stefan, the soap flaker mastermind, was standing on slippery ground during his pitch. Even Ralf Dümmel, obviously the target lion, attacked the product, which did not yet have a “proof of concept” on the market. Still, he invested. A few flake fans, so the calculation, will find each other.
No deal of the week
Once again an app for everything. This time, students should benefit from the blessings of digitization. Wryte wants to replace exercise books on paper. You write directly in the device and automatically save the documents in the correct folder for the respective subject. You can also book a tutor online for an additional charge. The appearance of the two founders: legs apart. Typical Tekkie pose in the style of: “We want to finally turn school into something cool, fun and stylish.” But did the two surfboys also think about the teachers? The jury appreciated the digital, didactic approach, but distrusted the school as an institution. “Such an innovative management system is not yet accepted there,” speculated Nils Glagau. And Judith Williams brutally brought the founder’s dreams back from Silicon Valley to Solingen: “If the teachers aren’t digital, the students won’t be either. You can do whatever you want with your app.”
