The Hub verdict
Half the company for £120,000 is a striking opening line, and that is how Ralf Klinnert pitched Funky Moves, his electronic interactive cone game, in series eight. The 50 percent offer values the business at £240,000 and signals a founder ready to take on a full partner rather than a passive backer. He ended up with two: Peter Jones and Theo Paphitis both came in, which for a physical game needing manufacture and retail placement is about as much commercial muscle as a single pitch can buy.
