Founder Emma Lanman stepped onto the carpet in Season 13, Episode 3 in the episode that aired 26 July 2015. Van Girls, the female run goods removal service, pitched in the Other category, one of 902 other businesses to brave the Den across all 21 seasons.

The ask was £75,000 for 10% of the company, an implied valuation of £750K.

No deal. Every dragon declined, and Van Girls 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 13 saw 69 pitches, and 24 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.
