Product Information

Alex mentions that they're in talks with a leading retailer and that if they can introudce more products and have a line they can get into stores. A BUSINESS pair from Swansea have secured a much sought-after investment from the Dragons’ Den for a potentially life-saving invention. In return, the dragon has taken a 45% stake in the business after the pair were subjected to a gruelling 90-minute grilling from Ms Meaden and the four other dragons – with Theo Paphitis and Duncan Bannatyne describing their pitch as the “worst they had ever heard.”

Chicago style: The Free Library. S.v. Den entrepreneur has proved she's a Surviva and will tell her success story to budding business brains.." Retrieved Nov 28 2023 from https://www.thefreelibrary.com/Den+entrepreneur+has+proved+she%27s+a+Surviva+and+will+tell+her+success...-a0238718888 Duncan Bannatyne has noticed that by the figures Alex provided, the company will be worth less in three years' time than it is now. Through innovative thinking and the high quality of UK manufacture we aim to offer the best and most effective outdoor survival products available today. We are always keen to work with organisations to find the right solutions to meet their requirements and make our products the best possible.Despite a tough presentation, the pair persuaded one of the Dragons, Deborah Meaden, to pledge a 45% stake in the business - an offer they had few qualms in accepting. At the time we weren’t that happy to be giving away that large a chunk of the company, but we have been very happy with how we all work together so far and we are very confident we will all make money.” Deborah, however, seems to be fighting with herself. Certainly their business has problems but there is the germ of a good idea here. Theo Paphitis is also disappointed at their suspect statistics and he finds it absurd that they haven't even managed to speak to anyone in the buying departments of the stores they've approached.

Letitia Valentine and Alex Lewis from Swansea faced the formidable business gurus on the TV show on Monday.

Those figures also rely on Letitia and Alex bringing out new products in the future. Why should Duncan invest? Alex's nerves have started showing him up and he has trouble answering. Alex and Letitia came to us with a great, innovative product and we’ve helped them with things like building their business plan and creating a marketing and sales strategy.” If you had told me then that we would have built a company based on the idea I wouldn’t have believed you. People kept telling us we should go on Dragons’ Den, so we thought why not give it a go?” The product is already available at outdoors and camping equipment retailers across the UK and online at survivawear.com. Theo and James have heard enough and go out. Peter, is disappointed. The product is good but Alex and Letitia haven't sold it well - whether to retailers or in the Den. He too is out.

Clearly the two are not going to risk arguing any further and they readily accept her offer. The deal done in the Den: We work hard to minimise our negative impact on the environment, reusing our waste and aiming to become a zero to landfill company.Ms Valentine said: “Deborah’s input has been excellent. She is very much hands on and when she made her offer for 45% of the company she said that she needed the extra 10% so she could take more of a hands-on approach – she’s going to be very much involved.

At SURVIVA we aim to build good working relationships with our customers allowing us to modify and adapt our products to meet their specific needs. There were a couple of errors with the pitch but they said that it was the worst pitch they have ever seen. So for the majority of the pitch I didn’t think that we were going to get the investment. The Prince’s Trust helped the pair with a low-interest loan as well as advising the duo during the start-up phase of the company. “We are so thankful for all the help and advice we have received from The Trust. The assistance we had got the ball rolling,” said Ms Valentine.Ms Valentine said: “I was soaked to the skin as it had been raining for four hours solidly and on the downhill section of the mountain I was so cold that I could barely think and had gone past the point of shaking, I was in a really bad way.” You are clearly passionate about your product but you are completely dysfunctional when it comes to understanding how to launch a business. Mr Lewis added: “We decided to develop a product that could warm someone up in an emergency but that would also enable the wearer to move around and perform other tasks, like riding a bike or pitching a tent.
