Our read
The Hub verdict
Touchscreen-friendly gloves solve a small winter annoyance neatly, and Rajan Jerath pitched i Glove by offering 40 percent of the business for £75,000, which works out to a £187,500 valuation. That size of stake, two-fifths of the company, is where a founder starts offering a Dragon real influence rather than a passive holding. The record confirms a deal but not its numbers, so this sits among the undisclosed cases and we analyse only the entry point. What he brought in is clear enough, two-fifths of the company for £75,000; what a Dragon finally agreed is a blank we will not fill. Whether the gloves remain stocked anywhere today is something we would stand behind only after seeing a current listing.
A substantial stake offered; the closing figures never surfaced.
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.
