Braaamp

Donny Jackow and Dean Jackow of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan asked for $150,000 for a 10% royalty on sales until repaid and 2% thereafter for their product, the Bramp, a device that converts a quarter ton to one ton truck into a tilting flat deck, replacing small trailers and eliminating insurance and maintenance costs. It weighs 205 pounds, can be installed in under a minute by one person, and they also offer an accessory called the pocket trailer for vans and SUVs. The founders run a welding and fabrication shop and plan to retail the Bramp for about $2,000, wholesale for $1,500, and have sold every prototype made, with a purchase order for 50 units from Flaman Sales and interest from Snow City Motorsports and Albion Golf Cars.

Manjit Minhas offered $150,000 for a 10% royalty forever, on the condition that at least one founder focus solely on the business, but this was declined. Jim Treliving offered the terms as asked and invited another Dragon to join him, and Michele Romanow joined the offer, splitting it between them. Joe Mimran went out, saying he liked the product but did not see it as a fit for him. Michael Wekerle did not get to make an offer before the founders accepted the deal from Jim Treliving and Michele Romanow.
