Danny Dubay, from Terrebonne, Quebec, along with his daughters Carla Dubay and Pamela Dubay, sought $100,000 for 25% of YouGoPoly, a financial-literacy board game aimed at students aged 11 to 17. The family has 10,000 units of the game manufactured, representing about $100,000 invested, but has sold none of this version. Danny Dubay previously sold a similar game called Business Go about 22 years earlier, selling 10,000 units in three months at the time, and the family has approached ten schools whose teachers and directors expressed interest.
Wes Hall went out, saying the business lacked a market strategy and had too many unresolved issues. Michele Romanow went out, saying a 20-year-old market test was not relevant to today's market. Manjit Minhas went out, agreeing the old sales data was irrelevant given zero current sales. Arlene Dickinson went out, saying the venture was too early but invited them to return once they had sales. Vincenzo Guzzo went out as well, and no deal was made.
