I'm Bannatyne

What is I'm Bannatyne?


1.

Loosely translates as "I'm out", and can be applied to various situations.

This is a reference to the the default investment position of Duncan Bannatyne, a Scottish entrepreneur who currently sits on the panel of 'Business Angels' on the British version of the tv programme 'Dragons' Den'.

Bannatyne is well known as being one of Dragons who is more reluctant to invest, and can rapidly dismiss a pitch for a variety of reasons, always with the declaration "I'm out".

Bizarrely, however, he has made some of the stranger investment decisions seen on the programme, such as when he bought into a shop in Leicester which sold caps.

Budding Entrepreneur 1: "I've just invented a machine which prints money and I've been subcontracted by the Royal Mint..."

Budding Entrepreneur 2: "yep, I'm really confident that with your experience and contacts we can really take this somewhere"

Bannatyne: "I'm in".
