“I Think You’re Adorable, This is Really You?” | Dragons’ Den

Next into the den are Kate and Nigel Smith, pitching their new ‘Makeaway’ kits, an idea for craft boxes that can be taken home and built using materials provided in the box, although Kelly may want in, that doesn't stop Peter and Duncan from kicking up a fuss.
An international sensation, Dragon's Den features entrepreneurs pitching for investment in the Den from our Dragons, five venture capitalists willing to invest their own money in exchange for equity.
