Over a decade on, the business is not just alive, it has grown considerably.
The Terms
The pair wanted £100,000 for a 15 percent slice, a fairly small equity give reflecting a business that already had paying customers rather than just a concept on a slide.
Piers Linney funded the full amount solo at those terms and, by most accounts, kept his shares long after the investment period most Dragons stick around for.
One Trip Becomes A Portfolio
The venture reportedly built toward millions in annual profit by the early 2020s, stretching from a single youth holiday product into a broader lineup under the Mainstage Festivals banner.
That lineup grew to include Snowboxx, a snow and music event held in the French Alps, plus Kala, billed as Albania's first international music festival, run alongside other branded trips built with established promoters.
Today
The company now trades as Mainstage Festivals, running a live booking site for festival and holiday packages across the continent.
Spreading across several branded events instead of leaning on one holiday format staying popular is a big reason this business looks considerably larger today than the one that first walked into the Den.
