Dragons' Den Season 8: After the Handshake

Season 8 of Dragons' Den aired in 2010. We track 4 of its pitches here, following each one past the on-air handshake.

Of those, 4 struck a deal on air and 0 left without one. Deal terms below are public record; whether a product is still for sale is something we verify separately.

Season 8 gives us four pitches, and all four ended in a deal. The Wand Company brought the fattest ask of the group at £200,000 for 30%, pricing itself near £666,000 and dwarfing Hawksdrift Falconry's modest £50,000 for a quarter of the business. Worthenshaw's sat in the middle on £65,000 for 30%.

Funky Moves is the outlier on equity, offering a full half of the business for £120,000 and valuing it at £240,000. The spread is the story here: an unglamorous falconry service, a dairy-free frozen dessert, a novelty game and a piece of consumer hardware, all closing inside one run.
