Look for Tabuu on AmazonFull story →Lucy Rout designed a stainless steel pill case after a cancer diagnosis in her twenties left her on a demanding lifelong medication schedule, and could not find one that did not look clinical.
She walked away with £50,000 against 40%, with three separate Dragons splitting the investment between them.
A personal story behind a simple object
One Dragon who did not invest reportedly offered Rout a role inside one of his own companies instead, a notable gesture even without a cheque attached. Securing the full sum from multiple backers, plus an unrelated job offer, counts as one of the stronger receptions a founder can walk away with.
The product itself is straightforward: a durable, watertight case built to hold several tablets, sold in a range of colours and sizes since the original pitch.
What later coverage says
Available sources describe a running donation to a cancer support charity tied to every unit sold, plus ongoing customer reviews and social activity.
A charity tie-in on every unit sold is unusual for a product this small, and it gives the brand a reason to exist beyond the object itself.
