Our read

The Hub verdict

Perfect Ted came into season 20 with real momentum in its pitch, a matcha-based energy drink asking 50,000 pounds for 10%, which sets a valuation of 500,000 pounds. That number held: Teddie Levenfiche and Marissa Poster closed on the terms offered, with two Dragons, Peter Jones and Steven Bartlett, sharing the 10%. Two heavyweight backers for a single-digit equity slice is a strong combination, the sort that signals both a believable valuation and competition for the deal. Handing over only a tenth keeps the founders firmly in charge. Drinks brands rise or fall on distribution, and how the matcha line fared on shelves after airing is the piece we would verify rather than assume from a televised handshake.
