The pitch
What walked into the Den
Aidify appeared in season 20, episode 11, presented by the To siblings as a free browser tool built to help students work through learning tasks. The ask stood out for how small it was, a fraction of what most pitches carry into that room.
Put up a request for $10,000 for a stake of 50 percent, setting the value near $20,000.

What happened next
All five Dragons came in together, offering $50,000 for the 50 percent stake, five times the money the siblings had asked for, and the pair accepted on the spot.
The tool itself is live. In July 2026 the site loaded with a working Chrome Web Store install link, user testimonials and media mentions, and it is a free extension rather than anything sold.

The Hub verdict
The number that defines this pitch is how little was asked. Trading half the company for a five-figure sum implies a valuation around twenty thousand, a rounding error against most numbers that reach that room, and it usually reads as founders valuing a mentor and a platform far above cash.
All five Dragons came in together, offering $50,000 for that same half of the business, five times the money the siblings asked for, and the pair accepted on the spot. A panel raising the cheque instead of the equity is the clearest signal it can send that a founder has undersold. The tool is live as a free Chrome extension with a working install link, which means the business still sits ahead of it.
