Dragons’ Den Tracker

The Pitch

Timothy Binnington and Daniella Binnington-Nessman walked into the Den in 2024 with a sensitive hair brushes range. They were asking for £240,000 in exchange for 24% 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. Sara Davies, Peter Jones and Touker Suleyman offered £240,000 for 24% / 33, and Timothy Binnington and Daniella Binnington-Nessman 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.

What Happened After the Show

Manta Hair is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. The company has now been trading for around 2 years since the pitch.

Is Manta Hair Still in Business?

Yes. Manta Hair appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
