The pitch
What walked into the Den
RVezy runs a marketplace that lets RV owners rent their vehicles to travellers, an approach modelled on home-sharing but built for motorhomes and based in Ottawa.
Mike McNaught and Will Thompson pitched it in season 12, asking $150,000 for 10 percent of the company at an implied $1.5 million valuation.
After the show
What happened next
This one has a confirmed ending. Ottawa Business Journal's profile of McNaught reports he closed a deal with Michele Romanow after the appearance, with her investment folded into the millions RVezy went on to raise.
The platform has scaled well beyond that night. A July 2026 look at the site found more than 5,000 RV listings across Canadian provinces, live booking, nightly rates from around $47, and built-in insurance and roadside support.
Our read
The Hub verdict
This is one of the cleaner deals in the set. The $150,000 for 10 percent ask valued RVezy at $1.5 million and Michele Romanow backed the founders at exactly that number, an investment later folded into the millions the marketplace went on to raise. The Den cheque was an early chapter rather than the whole financing story, which is the right way to read it. The platform today lists thousands of RVs across Canadian provinces with live booking, making it one of the strongest going concerns on this side of the site.
A Romanow deal at the asking price, now a scaled marketplace
Worth knowing: The Romanow investment is on the public record. Note that a single reported deal does not capture every twist of a company's later financing, which grew well past the original figure.
