Founder Roark McMaster stepped onto the carpet in Season 5, Episode 7 in the episode that aired 3 December 2007. The MacStrap, the solar charging portal for outdoor electrical devices, pitched in the Electronics category, one of 26 electronics businesses to brave the Den across all 21 seasons.

No deal. Every dragon declined, and The MacStrap 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 5 saw 79 pitches, and 15 of them closed a deal on air. In the Electronics category overall, roughly 46% of pitches have landed a dragon across the show's history.
