Doin' Business and Skincare Hacks in the Jungle
Constant Play, Duties, and Two Supporting Items to be Managed Round the Clock for Everyone
Welcome one and all to the latest episode of "The Lion's Den", where innovative ideas and wild deals go hand in hand. Today, we've got a lineup of three promising ventures - a revolutionary digital game controller, an equality-promoting household app, and a game-changing cosmetics product.
First up is "ChuckaRubba", brought to us by Rainer Lauberger, Thomas Eichstetter, and Thomas Moch from humble Regensburg. They're jumping into the fierce boys' club that is the toy market with a guarantee to make the competition sweat - the next big skill game! Their self-developed throwing stick recognizes and evaluates the number of spins, turning the lion's den into an instant playground.
Next up, Louisa Plasberg and Ronja Hoffacker, the dynamic duo behind the software-assisted game stick. They pitched their organization app with a mission to solve that age-old headache between partners: care work and its imbalanced distribution. Who said boy meets girls' work should never mix? Tillman Schulz might disagree, but there's a reason we call these lions.
In a surprising twist, Nils Glagau won the battle of the lions, leaving Ralf Dümmel, king of shelves, sulking in the corner. But the bad mood didn't last long, as the joyous pitch of "equaly" founder duo, Louisa and Ronja, quickly stole the spotlight.
Speaking of spotlights, Janna Ensthaler had a soft spot for the all-in-one cosmetics product. The multifunctional skincare sticks combine traditional healing plants with modern active ingredients, catching Judith William's eye, too. The beauty queen was deeply moved by the founders' passion, while Tillman Schulz admitted to being a care work skeptic.
After some soul-searching, Janna Ensthaler and Eva Helmeth decided to invest in the innovative skincare sticks. The two "easy exit" founders, Anna and Michael Schnurbusch, couldn’t get a deal but left the pitch field with high hopes for their product.
As for the wining beverage, the lions were less impressed. The sparkling wine-energy mix from "Weinfly" might have tasted good, but it left the group up in the air about its investment potential.
