In the latest edition, “The Lion’s Den,” there is something new. Investor Carsten Maschmeyer can’t let a 16-year-old founder go – and gives him a surprising deal.
Philipp Hammerer (16) lost the founder battle against 17-year-old Christopher Czellary and should actually have gone home without a complete pitch.
But the sensation is on the way Carsten Maschmeyer advises the 16-year-old: “Don’t run away from the studio straight away.” A little later, Philipp actually gets the chance to give his pitch in the founders’ lounge. Carsten Maschmeyer immediately bites: “Then you now have a deal, 80,000 euros for 20 percent.” A novelty in “The Lions’ Den”.

The fact that they are both so young can Carsten Maschmeyer, who recently spoke about his son’s escape from Dubaihard to believe. Judith Williams also reacts: “I’m exhausted!”

16-year-old founder Carsten Maschmeyer won’t let go
In the founder battle, only one person actually gets the chance to win a deal. In the end, Christopher has one more vote and wins. But Maschmeyer, who spoke about prostate problems on “The Lion’s Den”.doesn’t want to let go: “I have the feeling, regardless of the products, that Philipp made better use of the 60 seconds.” The deal then took place in the founders’ lounge.
