In the latest episode of the popular German TV show "The Lion's Den", several innovative products were presented to a panel of investors. Among them were Steets, FlaveAir, Muvn, and krydda, each with its unique offering and challenges.

Heinz Schlechtingen's grandson, Phil Janßen, and partners Thorben Engel and Philipp Battisti have invented Steets, an attachable device for walking sticks that allows them to be easily placed on the ground, with small feet folding out and back in. Frank Thelen, an investor and juror on the show, praised Steets as one of the most elegant solutions he's ever seen. However, a deal almost collapsed when Thelen demanded 25% of the company, and the founders offered only 20%. In the end, Carsten Maschmeyer clinched the deal, investing in a product typically not associated with investments.

Nils Stögbauer and Randolph Skrok presented FlaveAir, a product that mimics the taste of unhealthy cravings without calories and harmful additives. The founders were seeking a financial backer for 300,000 euros and 15% of the company. While some investors found the valuation too high, almost all lions saw a global million-dollar business potential in the high-tech investment.

Katharina Kreuzer, Emre Aydin, and Massimo Sabatino presented their app Muvn, a ride-sharing service for goods. The founders used Katharina Kreuzer's blue eyes as a special "trick" to convince investors and asked for 300,000 euros for 5% of the company. However, Carsten Maschmeyer criticized the pitch as one of the worst he's seen in the show.

Arne Engelke, a multitalented individual, is the founder of krydda, a company that sells three vegan spice blends under the label. Not all investors were convinced by the product, with some finding the name "krydda" and marketing misleading. Janna Ensthaler advised Engelke to reconsider his idea, while Dagmar Wöhrl encouraged him to pursue his dream regardless of a deal.

Giuseppe Leo, alias Dr. Toilet, presented the Air Cube, a high-tech invention that eliminates toilet odors using positively charged ions and refreshes the air with pleasant scents. Leo sought a investment of 200,000 euros for 10% of his company shares. The competition for Leo's investment was fierce, with Carsten Maschmeyer, Ralf Dümmel, and Frank Thelen all offering 15-20% of their shares. In the end, Maschmeyer secured the deal, becoming both investor and mentor, winning over other interested investors like Ralf Dümmel and Judith Williams.

The founders of Muvn have invested 12,000 euros in their business, but Frank Thelen had doubts about the marketplace business model of Muvn and the company's value, and the founders admitted that only nine trips have been handled through their platform so far. Janna Ensthaler and three other investors dropped out, leaving Frank Thelen as the last hope for the Muvn founders.

In a surprising turn of events, a 98-year-old man named Heinz Schlechtingen from Cologne became the oldest participant in "The Lion's Den". However, in the end, Engelke left "The Lion's Den" without a deal.

These pitches and negotiations showcased the excitement, challenges, and potential of entrepreneurship, as well as the discerning eyes of the investors in "The Lion's Den".
