Our read
The Hub verdict
Energy-efficient dome buildings and garden rooms made for one of series nine's more ambitious products, and Aidan Quinn and Gemma Roe priced the raise at £75,000 for 40 percent, a £187,500 valuation. Forty percent is a lot to release, the level at which a founder is genuinely sharing the steering wheel, and back in 2011 that was a common shape for a young building venture short on capital. A deal was agreed, but the closing terms were not shown, so we hold to the ask and no further. What we can say is documented; what a Dragon actually took is not. The venture's path since is the sort of aftermath we would only report once verified.
Worth knowing: Deal terms reflect the aired episode and are public record. Availability can change, and we only add a buy link once we have confirmed a current listing.
