Snowball secures £80k from all five investors on Dragons' Den
Peter Jones and four other panellists provided the backing in exchange for equity.
Snowball operates a mobile application that helps disabled people discover accessible locations and services across the UK. The platform relies on user-generated content and professional assessments to rate venues for various needs.
Simon Sansome has secured £80k in funding from all five investors on the BBC television programme Dragons' Den. Peter Jones proposed splitting the investment equally among the panel members, with each dragon contributing £16k for a 5 percent stake in the business.
The capital follows the expansion of the accessibility platform, which has gained traction through user reviews and partnerships with transport networks. The founder developed the application after building a large community following on social media to highlight accessible spots across the country.
From the founder
"When I received a clean sweep of all five Dragons, I was in shock. After eight years of hard work, it’s fair to say this was a very emotional moment for me."
