The pitch
What walked into the Den
Cory Brightwall of Beaumont, Alberta founded Caribou, a maker of butcher-block countertops, kitchen islands and hardwood slabs, and pitched in season 14, episode 2.
His number was $350,000 for 15 percent, putting the business at about $2.33 million.
After the show
What happened next
The show did not preserve a verdict we can point to, so we describe the ask and stop where the public record stops.
The company is doing well. As of July 2026 it was selling countertops, islands and slabs online, and listing showrooms across western and central Canada plus several US states.
Our read
The Hub verdict
At $350,000 for 15 percent, the implied $2.33 million valuation reads like a real woodworking operation with inventory and showrooms behind it, which the current footprint bears out.
The outcome was not aired, so we make no deal claim. The business is plainly healthy, selling countertops and slabs online with showrooms across western and central Canada and into the US, which is one of the stronger present-day signals in this group.
A physical showroom network is harder to fake than a working checkout, so this is a pitch we would happily point a buyer toward today, even without knowing how the Dragons voted on the night.
Worth knowing: The storefront is unmistakably live; the on-air outcome simply was not disclosed, which is where we leave it.
