Big business help for the youngest, exotic alcohol mix delights for adults and an impressive low-carb range from the once strongest man in the world: In the lion's den, joy and frustration are once again close together.
When Matthias Steiner lifted an impressive 258 kilograms into the air in Beijing in the summer of 2008, not only the entire weightlifting world was amazed. 26 years later, the Olympic champion and once the strongest man in the world is facing his greatest entrepreneurial challenge. Together with his wife, Matthias Steiner stands in the lion's den in front of the investors who are supposed to take the couple's professional future to a new level. With their low-carb product range, which ranges from bread and pasta to delicious cakes, the “STEINER's” want to declare war on the global carbohydrate rush.
“The Lions’ Den” can be seen every Monday at 8:15 p.m. on Vox. The show is also available on RTL+.
After a delicious tasting, all the lions present are not only full, but also very enthusiastic. The founding duo, ennobled as a “power couple” by female power figurehead Tijen Onaran, comes around the corner not only with great taste, but also with “studied-proven effectiveness”. The founder has been relying on low-carb products for over ten years. The former weightlifter once consumed a whopping 8,000 calories per day. Today, the founder, who weighed 150 kilos during his sporting heyday, is in top physical shape.
Nils Glagau and Ralf Dümmel get into the deal ring
After an impressive and emotional pitch, the two lions Nils Glagau and Ralf Dümmel step into the deal ring. In the end, the lord of the shelves has to give way to the Orthomol boss. The “Steiner's” decide on a future with Nils Glagau. The frustration over the missed deal can be seen on Ralf Dümmel's face for a while. But then Anna Wirsching, who works part-time as a wedding singer, enters the lion's den – and suddenly a smile flashes across the face of the investor with the stylish wardrobe.

“I have the folding potty with me for on the go,” trumpets the “Pee & Bob” founder from Külsheim. With her irrepressible energy, the founder quickly gets all investors on her side. “You bubble as if you were just drinking carbon dioxide,” says Carsten Maschmeyer. Nils Glagau is also blown away by the founder and her mobile toilet for small children (“You blow my mind!”). Anna Wirsching came to the lion's den with a clear wishful lion orientation in her mind. And so the decision wasn't particularly difficult for the founder after a short telephone consultation.
“I'm a huge Dümmel fan!”
After Dagmar Wöhrl and Ralf Dümmel submitted their deal offers, the “Pee & Bob” boss turned to the family entrepreneur from Franconia: “Dear Dagmar, thank you very much for your offer, but I am a huge Dümmel fan! ” It is the moment in which Ralf Dümmel throws the last of his frustration overboard over the missed STEINER's deal. The visibly euphoric lion hops towards the founder like a bouncy ball and unites with her a second later for a blissful cuddle. Entire.
With so much heartwarming joy, the following program can no longer keep up. In addition to pitch failures for “YoYo.TIPS” from Munich (tip app for service workers) and “MULTIBEX” from Dortmund (assembly trestle system for craftsmen), there are also ankle-high jumps of joy from Löwe Tillman Schulz and the founders of “LA CASACARA”. (exotic alcoholic mixed drink). But no one is jumping as high as the Duracell couple Dümmel and Wirsching this evening.
