The Pitch
Daniel Barnes and Rosalina Tejoprayinto walked into the Den in 2024 with a express manufactured spectacles. They were asking for £75,000 in exchange for 12% 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 £75,000 for 12%, and Daniel Barnes and Rosalina Tejoprayinto 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
Pop Specs is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. The company has now been trading for around 2 years since the pitch.
Is Pop Specs Still in Business?
