Season 12 of Dragons' Den Canada opened in 2017, and its premiere delivered one of the show's most-cited deals: a young candy founder who faced offers from every Dragon and left having halved the equity she put up.

We anchor every deal claim to a source and the ask to the public record. Where a season has a headline outcome we can cite, we lay out the math; where the record simply stops after the ask, we say so plainly rather than guess at a handshake.

Season 12 earns its place largely on the strength of its premiere, one of the most-cited deals in the show's run. A founder facing offers from every Dragon, and taking the one that cut her equity give in half, is the kind of on-air moment that gets taught as a negotiation lesson.

That single pitch also carries a data note worth flagging: its deal belongs here, on the Season 12 premiere, even though the same brand later came back for a retrospective slot in a far later season. We anchor the terms to where they happened and treat the revisit as exactly that.

Home to the premiere deal that doubled a valuation in one sentence.
