He asked for £100,000 against a comparatively small 5% slice of the business, and Deborah Meaden backed the deal.
A small equity ask for an already-trading business
Giving up only 5% for a substantial raise usually points to a business with existing revenue that mainly needs capital to copy what already works, rather than an unproven concept. Meaden's own background building and selling a leisure business gives her direct experience judging a site with strong booking numbers.
The broadcast is reported to have coincided with a period of active growth, with new sites opening up rather than all the capital going back into the founding location alone.
The growth since
Coverage describes the business growing to more than twenty units spread across five sites in the UK and Ireland, including a fresh opening in early 2026, with guests said to be booking well over a year ahead.
Guests booking more than a year ahead is the number that matters most for a site like this, since it turns capital spent on new pods into revenue that is already committed.
