The pitch
What walked into the Den
Ananda Elixirs, based in Ottawa, makes functional sodas and mocktails built around mushrooms, founded by siblings Sammi and Dylan Dreiling.
They pitched in season 20, asking $250,000 for a 10 percent share and valuing the company at $2.5 million.
After the show
What happened next
CBC's record covers the ask and stops there, and we found no reliable follow-up naming a deal, so the outcome is left unrecorded.
The brand is active and growing its range. In July 2026 the site was running live e-commerce with five Shroom Soda flavours plus a new Mushroom Mocktails line, working purchase buttons, a wholesale program and press mentions.
Our read
The Hub verdict
A 10 percent ask values this functional-soda brand at $2.5 million, and like several sibling pitches in season 20 the Den result simply is not on record, so we leave it unstated. The current picture is strong and specific: five Shroom Soda flavours, a new mocktail line, working purchase buttons and named press mentions as of mid-2026. We keep that current-status strength cleanly apart from the unknown of what a Dragon decided on the night. Holding a live, expanding storefront apart from an unrecorded on-air result is the whole method these Canadian pages are built to run on.
Live, expanding product range; deal unrecorded
Worth knowing: The ask numbers are from the aired pitch. The store is clearly live, but that speaks to current status, not to what a Dragon decided on air.
