Their ask was a modest £30,000 for a third of the business, and they left with four backers: Peter Jones, Steven Bartlett, Touker Suleyman and Sara Davies.
Why four investors backed a small raise
A deal drawing four separate Dragons on a relatively modest ask usually signals the panel saw more long-term upside than the headline figure implied. For a niche fashion category built around one specific design detail rather than a broad product line, that kind of enthusiasm is not automatic.
The founders' own account of the problem, unable to find clothing that felt feminine and still worked for feeding, gave the panel a personal story to sit alongside the product.
How it has grown
Coverage describes turnover climbing year after year since the broadcast, with regional business press continuing to profile the siblings as a local success story.
Nursing and maternity wear is bought over a short window in a customer's life, so a brand in this category grows mainly by being recommended from one new parent to the next rather than through repeat purchase.
