Net Worth
Brian Smillie founded Beezer after recognizing the inefficiencies in the way apps were created and distributed. His app revolutionized this process, enabling anyone to easily create an app and distribute it without needing any coding or development expertise.
After an intense standoff on BBC’s Dragon’s Den, Beezer managed to secure PS125,000 from Peter Jones after four out of five Dragons offered their investment – Tej Lalvani, Touker Suleyman, Deborah Meadon and Peter Jones. Jenny Campbell declined their offer because she did not believe it was a viable business model.
In the end, Jones’ offer of 15% equity in the company was too good to pass up. Brian has since expanded his app company and is now seeking to raise PS1 million for 20% ownership in it.
