The Pitch
Richard Hancock and Edward Simpson walked into the Den in 2022 with a cheese subscribing mobile app. They were asking for £150,000 in exchange for 7.5% of the business.
The pitch landed well enough in the Den that at least one Dragon decided to back it.
The Deal
A deal was struck on the show. Steven Bartlett offered £150,000 for 7.5% (5% if investment is repaid with 24months), and Richard Hancock and Edward Simpson accepted.
It’s worth noting that Dragons’ Den deals agreed on camera often go through further negotiation off-screen. Some complete as shown; others are renegotiated or never finalise at all. The company’s subsequent trading history is the clearest indicator of what actually happened.
