The Pitch
Teirnan Mccorkell walked into the Den in 2019 with a pipe fitting tool. They were asking for £41,000 in exchange for 30% 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 offered £41,000 for 30%, and Teirnan Mccorkell 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
Pipe Easy is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2019, the company has now been trading for well over a decade — an outcome that puts it ahead of the vast majority of startup ventures, let alone television pitches.
Is Pipe Easy Still in Business?
