The pitch

What walked into the Den

Technocolour Dreams ran paint parties out of Brantford, Ontario, social events where a crowd paints together for a night.

Yvonne Arbour and Dominic Sabourin pitched in season 10, seeking $150,000 for a 20 percent share and valuing the business at $750,000.

What happened next

Signs point to a business that has gone quiet. Its domain no longer resolved in July 2026, and while some social accounts still exist, the most recent activity on them dates back years.

Our read

The Hub verdict

A $150,000 ask for 20 percent valued a paint-party events business at $750,000, and the Dragons passed. The objection was ownership rather than arithmetic: one of them put it as a great business for you, not a great business for me, which is the standard read on an events brand where the revenue scales with the founder's own hours and leaves nothing for a partner to buy. Things have gone quiet since, with the domain gone and the social accounts last posting years back, which is what a founder-run events company usually looks like once it stops touring.

No deal: a great business for its founder, not a Dragon
