The Hub verdict
Alan Gillett's pitch is a recent one, from season 20 in 2023. The Xtra Hand asked for £40,000 in exchange for 25 percent, a £160,000 valuation for the hands-free dust-extraction tool, and Peter Jones took the quarter-stake. A small, practical trade product like this often draws Dragon interest for its clear use case, and a low five-figure raise keeps the entry price accessible on both sides of the table.
A quarter of a trade tool, and Peter Jones was in.
