The Pitch
Joseph Henai and Karmen Gadi walked into the Den in 2026 with a dairy-free drinks made from teff. They were asking for £100,000 in exchange for 2.5% of the business.

The Deal
No deal was made. The Dragons weren’t persuaded to invest, and Joseph Henai and Karmen Gadi left the Den without backing.
