Gina Delisme, from Montreal, Quebec, asked for $30,000 for a 15% stake in Nagi Cosmetics, a makeup line focused on foundations and other cosmetics for women of colour. The regular foundation retails for $27, and the company had generated about $20,000 in sales over seven months through pharmacies including Jean Coutu, with a newly signed deal with Uniprix and a website that had just launched.
All five Dragons declined to invest. Joe Mimran said the business lacked a clear differentiator in the cosmetics industry, Manjit Minhas said she could not add value in this area, Michele Romanow felt the market was too small at that price point, Jim Treliving found the business case not compelling enough, and Arlene Dickinson said the business was not big enough. There was no deal.
