The Pitch
Trib Gosain and Reid Jacoby walked into the Den in 2025 with a watertight case for umbrellas. They were asking for £50,000 in exchange for 20% 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. Peter Jones offered £50,000 for 20%, and Trib Gosain and Reid Jacoby accepted.
