Founders Nick Monrow, Daniel and Roderick Butterfield stepped onto the carpet in Season 12, Episode 11 in the episode that aired 22 February 2015. Funslinger, the throw and catching game, pitched in the Other category, one of 902 other businesses to brave the Den across all 21 seasons.

The ask was £100,000 for 20% of the company, an implied valuation of £500K.

No deal. Every dragon declined, and Funslinger walked. But a Dragons’ Den appearance reaches millions of viewers whether or not a check gets written, and plenty of no-deal companies have turned that airtime into lasting businesses.

Season 12 saw 65 pitches, and 20 of them closed a deal on air. In the Other category overall, roughly 11% of pitches have landed a dragon across the show's history.
