Look for Reviveaphone on AmazonFull story →Oliver Murphy pitched a DIY kit promising to rescue a soaked mobile phone within a day, back in series 11.
The company is still going, just under a new name and covering far more ground than the original kit ever did.
A Familiar Problem, An Unfamiliar Fix
Murphy asked for £50,000 for a quarter of his business. Nearly everyone has dropped a phone in water at some point, so the underlying market was easy for the panel to grasp even though the product itself was unfamiliar.
Kelly Hoppen backed him for the full amount. That funding pushed Reviveaphone out of a niche corner and into broader retail fairly quickly in the years that followed.
Trading a Kit for a Chain of Shops
Murphy later reacquired the equity Hoppen held as the company pivoted away from a one-time gadget and toward an ongoing repair operation, a sturdier model than a product a customer only ever buys once.
Rebranded as WeFix and backed by telecoms firm OneCom, the business became the first Samsung-approved repair network in the country, a real credibility marker in a market crowded with unofficial repair shops.
A Bigger Problem to Chase
A DIY kit only ever solves one incident. An ongoing repair business can serve that same customer again and again, for a cracked screen, a dead battery, or any number of issues that have nothing to do with water at all.
Look for the original Reviveaphone kit today and you probably will not find it marketed under that name, because the company's energy shifted entirely to WeFix, arguably a bigger and healthier business than the gadget seller that first pitched on the show.
