Kent adventure festival Camp Wildfire appears on Dragon's Den
Founders Lee & Jules pitched their festival to the famous BBC business gurus
The founders of Kent-based adventure festival Camp Wildfire, appeared on BBC’s Dragon’s Den last night looking for a deal with the infamous business gurus.
Julia Lowe and Lee Denny initially asked for a £75,000 investment with a 5% stakehold in their business model. While renowned Dragon, Deborah Meaden liked the pitch and offered an initial 25% stakeholder while funding the full £75,000 investment, the couple negotiated for better terms and ultimately walked away from the deal.
The pair took to social media to say: “Pitching to the dragons was easily the scariest thing we’ve ever done. We’re glad that we took on the challenge (after all that’s what camp is all about).”
‘cene was been lucky enough to attend Camp Wildfire back in 2017, and it has since grown into one of the most exciting festivals in the South East.
It has included activities such quad-biking, zorbing, flying trapeze, rafting, tree-climbing, archery, dodgeball and swing-dancing.
Experience joy through learning, relax in a woodland spa, feast on incredible foods, dance wildly through the night, share stories around campfires and live music.
