Look for Toucan Giving on AmazonFull story →Matthew Crate and Melody Truong pitched an app that splits a monthly donation across a user's chosen charities, drawn from a list of over 33,000, and every Dragon in the room wanted a piece of it.
The founders picked Steven Bartlett as their eventual backer for £85,000 against a tenth of the company, rather than accepting the group offer everyone else was on the table for.
Why every Dragon wanted in
A pitch that draws interest from the whole panel at once is rare, and it usually points to a product with obvious mass appeal rather than a niche play. Having that leverage let the founders choose their preferred single backer instead of a shared stake.
Bartlett's record with consumer apps built around ongoing habits lines up reasonably well with a service that depends on people donating repeatedly rather than just once.
What later reporting says
Available write-ups say a contactless donations provider acquired the company in late 2022, and that the brand has since grown into related products under the same wider name.
Anyone relying on donation totals or current features should look for the company's own up-to-date disclosures.
