Sofie Hepworth walked into the Den in 2022 with a eco friendly baby-cot. They were asking for £75,000 (received £100,000) in exchange for 45% 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. Touker Suleyman offered £75,000 (received £100,000) for 45%, and Sofie Hepworth accepted.
