The Hub verdict

Sinead and Adam Murphy went in seeking £75,000 for 25 percent of Shnuggle, a £300,000 valuation for a baby bath and bedtime range, and left with Touker Suleyman on board.

The ask reads as a balanced early raise, enough to fund a product-led nursery brand without surrendering control, and baby categories tend to draw Dragons who like repeat-purchase habits. A quarter of the company for a single backer with deep retail experience is the trade a founder makes when the hard part ahead is getting into shops.

A quarter of a nursery brand, and Suleyman came in.
