Overview
- During a studio test, investor Frank Thelen crashed the electric Bobsla sled into a metal gate on the slick hall floor but was unhurt and apologized on air.
- The Bobsla founders, who sought €500,000 for 25% equity, left without funding after the braking failed indoors and the on-air scare halted interest.
- Joy’s universal voucher app drew sharp criticism from several investors over margins and perceived fairness before talks shifted toward sharing discounts with customers.
- Janna Ensthaler ultimately struck the only deal of the night with Joy for €350,000 in exchange for a 15% stake, according to the broadcast recaps.
- The holiday special also featured personal moments, including Dagmar Wöhrl’s tearful reflection on the loss of her son, and aired December 8 on VOX with early streaming on RTL+.
