Look for Eco Spot on AmazonFull story →Eco Spot is John Boff's adjustable mortarboard for bricklayers, a scaffold-mounted tool meant to save tradespeople from constantly bending to scoop cement, pitched in series 15 for twenty-five thousand pounds against a thirty-five percent stake that Deborah Meaden agreed to take.
The most recent notes describe a dedicated site still selling and hiring out the board.
A Big Equity Give For A Small Ask
Handing over more than a third of the business for twenty-five thousand pounds is a steep trade for such a modest sum, the kind of split that usually points to a founder who cares more about getting a specific product to market than about holding onto a majority stake.
A tool built around one very specific trade problem, bricklayers' backs and knees, tends to live or die on whether word spreads within that trade, rather than on general consumer marketing.
A Niche Product Usually Trades Quietly
Notes on file point to a dedicated website, ecospot.wales, listing the board for both hire and outright purchase with delivery available across the UK mainland, without any presence on general marketplaces like Amazon, which fits a product aimed squarely at contractors rather than the public.
Offering the board for hire as well as for sale suits a trade where a contractor might want it for a single job rather than permanently, and it is a route to revenue a purely retail product never has.
