Our read

The Hub verdict

Ralph Broadbent and Alex Dixon brought a make-your-own cider kit to the Den and left with backing, though the episode never spelled out the terms. Their ask was £40,000 for 25% of Victor's Drinks, a £160,000 valuation, so the quarter-stake is the number we can point to and the close stays a blank. A novelty drinks kit with an obvious gifting angle is the sort of product that photographs well and sells itself at retail, which often draws Dragon interest at a modest raise. With the agreed figures held back we will not guess at them, and we have not confirmed whether the kit is sold anywhere now. That verification is still outstanding.

A cider kit, a deal, and an unaired close.

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.
