Festive Ventures in ‘Die Höhle der Löwen – Finally Christmas’
This holiday season, the special episode of ‘Die Höhle der Löwen – Finally Christmas’ brings a unique twist to the business reality show. Tune in on Tuesday at 8:15 PM on VOX or RTL+ to witness Dagmar Wöhrl, Ralf Dümmel, Nils Glagau, Tillman Schulz, and Judith Williams as they indulge in cocoa, mulled wine, and high-stakes deals amidst a cave decked out in Christmas decorations. Founders eager to impress the ‘lions’ will first offer festive beverages before showcasing their innovative products, leading to some delightful moments of celebration.
Innovative Pitches and High Hopes
The episode kicks off with an exciting sewing pitch from Tina Califano, a passionate entrepreneur from Passau. At 53, she introduces ‘cuci cuci’—sewing machine kits designed especially for children, allowing them to create their own cuddly toys. Seeking an investment of 60,000 euros for a 20 percent stake, Tina hopes for a ‘Christmas miracle.’ Ralf Dümmel, Judith Williams, and Tillman Schulz express their enthusiasm, with Schulz mentioning how the concept makes his hands sweat with excitement. Ultimately, Tina chooses Ralf as her partner, leading to a joyful celebration between them and her alpaca Finn.
Next, Andreas Kramer from Nuremberg pitches his revolutionary ‘DOUBLEDECK’ snowboards, a product born from six years of development and over a million euros in investment. He seeks 500,000 euros for a five percent stake. After testing, Nils Glagau expresses strong interest in the innovation, negotiating for ten percent equity and ultimately striking a deal with Andreas, who offers additional shares tied to future milestones.
The pitch by the Mandel brothers introduces an emotional product, ‘Memperience,’ a video album designed to preserve family memories. They seek 150,000 euros for seven percent equity but face skepticism from the lions regarding their valuation and recent price hikes. Judith Williams is the only lion to stay in, but ultimately, the brothers exit without a deal.
Innovators Alexandros Zachos, Thomas Ifland, and Sabine Schröder pitch ‘Kezzel,’ an advanced kettle that utilizes space technology to detect boiling water. Despite initial interest, the lions are hesitant about the valuation. Ralf Dümmel, however, sees potential and successfully negotiates a deal for 15 percent equity after the founders reconsider their offer.
Finally, Anna Lessing, a 27-year-old vegan entrepreneur, introduces her line of plant-based cream liqueurs under the brand ‘Planty Fuel.’ After treating the lions to a tasting of her unique flavors, she aims to negotiate a deal. The lions enjoy the products, but discussions around pricing remain a focal point as they ponder the offer.
This Christmas special promises engaging pitches, heartwarming moments, and, of course, the thrill of securing deals that could change the lives of these passionate founders. Don’t miss out on the festive business excitement!
