The Pitch
David Cosgrave and Travis McDonough walked into the Den in 2007 with a orthopedic treatment for feet. They were asking for £75,000 in exchange for 15% 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 David Cosgrave and Travis McDonough left the Den without backing.
