Founder Catherine and Chris Baldrey-Chourio stepped onto the carpet in Season 15, Episode 6 in the episode that aired 1 October 2017. Nana's Manners, the children's cutlery, pitched in the Kids & Education category, one of 82 kids & education businesses to brave the Den across all 22 seasons.
The ask was £50,000 for 20% of the company, an implied valuation of £250K.
Touker Suleyman made the deal at £50,000 for 30% equity. That priced the company at £167K, a haircut from the £250K the founders walked in asking for, which is how negotiations in the Den usually go.
Season 15 saw 58 pitches, and 26 of them closed a deal on air. In the Kids & Education category overall, roughly 45% of pitches have landed a dragon across the show's history.
