Our read

The Hub verdict

Oliver Murphy raised £50,000 and parted with a quarter of Reviveaphone to do it, a straight acceptance of his own asking terms at a £200,000 valuation.

Kelly Hoppen backing a phone-repair kit solo is worth a beat: her design and retail instincts tend to follow products that sit well on a shelf and explain themselves fast, and a fix-it kit for water-damaged handsets is about as self-explanatory as consumer tech gets. Twenty-five percent is a meaningful stake to hand over, though on a five-figure raise it is the kind of trade early-stage businesses make for a Dragon's contacts as much as the cash. Whether the kit is sold anywhere now is a separate question we have not answered.

Asking terms met, with a quarter of the company changing hands.

Worth knowing: The deal above is public record from the episode. We never treat an on-air handshake as proof a product is still for sale today.
