The Pitch
Sanjay Lobo walked into the Den in 2023 with a community support app. They were asking for £100,000 in exchange for 10% 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, Peter Jones, Deborah Meaden and Touker Suleyman offered £100,000 for 10% (6% upon investment being repaid.), and Sanjay Lobo 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
onHand is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. The company has now been trading for around 3 years since the pitch.
Is onHand Still in Business?
Yes. onHand appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
