The Pitch
Rocky Arkwright walked into the Den in 2019 with a artisan pie creations. They were asking for £75,000 in exchange for 35% of the business.
Despite their best efforts, the pitch didn’t convince the Dragons to open their wallets.
The Deal
No deal was made. The Dragons weren’t persuaded to invest, and Rocky Arkwright left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
