Danielle Barnett and David Holmes pitched an optical instrument cable that carries sound as light instead of through a standard copper wire.

The Deal On The Night

Barnett and Holmes wanted £70,000 for a 35 percent stake, and Touker Suleyman is recorded as backing the pitch at exactly those terms.

Convincing musicians that a premium cable sounds different enough to justify its price is an ongoing sales challenge rather than a one-off pitch, a narrow, sceptical market to keep winning over year after year.

After The Pitch

By previous accounts, users on music forums have noted that the brand's website and social pages stopped functioning at some point after the pitch, which points toward the business slowing down or going quiet.

Premium instrument cable is a repeat-convincing sale rather than a one-off, and a brand in that corner of the market depends heavily on staying visible to players who will only buy after hearing the difference for themselves.

Note: Based on the public record; company situations can change, so treat this as a snapshot.
