Episode 8 of 14

The pitches in this episode are water-saving hair care, traditional confectionery, handcrafted spice blends and a mission-led travel start-up.

A new batch of ambitious entrepreneurs face a series first! With female Dragons outnumbering the males for the first time, there’s a power shift in the Den, as queens of commerce Susie Ma and Jenna Meek join Peter Jones, Deborah Meaden and Steven Bartlett.

Pitching in the Den, a chemistry whizz promises to wash away waste with her powder-to-liquid haircare products. Two social media stars hope to bag a sweet deal with their traditional confectionery concept. A mother and son with a handcrafted spice blend business hope a Dragon could hold the recipe for success, and a mission-led Gen Z travel start-up sets its sights on global growth.
