Most 15-year-olds are not thinking up business ideas and then putting together a pitch to take into BBC One's Dragons' Den, let alone then walking away with a deal. Shay Sharma impressed Dragon Peter Jones so much that he did just that in tonight's episode (March 9), despite having to leave the Den after his pitch.
Shay, along with his dad Raj Sharmer, had created a footballing board game that instantly impressed Peter Jones and is one of the Den's youngest-ever entrepreneurs. Speaking about his son Raj said: "Shay has grown up wanting to emulate the Dragons, maybe be a dragon one day himself".
Keen Chelsea FC fan, just like Peter, Shay combined his love for football with his love of board games to create the game called Football Billionaire. Shay and Raj were asking for £50,000 in return for 5% equity of the business.
