Carlo Brancati

Age: 37

Occupation: Hair Transplant Consultant

From: Middlesbrough

What has been your biggest business success?: "My biggest success is establishing myself as a trusted hair transplant consultant, gaining the confidence of hair loss sufferers, leading hair transplant surgeons worldwide, and leading hair loss product companies. With over 30 million views and nearly 30k followers on social media, I've built a strong personal brand that resonates with people and industry professionals alike."

Describe your business plan: "My business plan is to develop a user-friendly online platform that connects patients with the most reputable hair transplant clinics worldwide. The platform will solve the challenge of navigating a crowded market, where many clinics claim to be the best, by providing a trusted, easy-to-use resource for comparing clinics, accessing expert advice, and making well-informed decisions about hair restoration."

Why should Lord Sugar invest in you?: "I deserve Lord Sugar's investment because my journey has been defined by relentless dedication and self-taught expertise. With a master's degree in psychology, sales experience, and self-acquired digital marketing skills, I've worked 15-hour days over the past several years to master the tools of modern entrepreneurship. Simply put, no-one works harder than me!"
