Ross Williams and Surlender Pendress faced the dragons in Season 14, Episode 1 in the episode that aired 24 July 2016. Writesize, the children's stationery pencils, pitched in the Kids & Education category, one of 79 kids & education businesses to brave the Den across all 21 seasons.
They came in asking £50,000 in exchange for 12.5% equity, putting a £400K valuation on the business.
Writesize couldn't land an offer the founders would take, and the pitch ended without a deal. History says that's survivable: several of the show's biggest success stories left the Den empty-handed.
Across Season 14, 21 of 70 pitches ended in a handshake. In the Kids & Education category overall, roughly 44% of pitches have landed a dragon across the show's history.
