Although it seems likely the investment didn't actually happen as their website says: "While the trip to the Dragons' Den was successful, it's a long (and winding) road from the hand-shake in the Den to signing on the dotted line. Tony and Shane are still interested in speaking to potential investors." Arguably as the got offered and accepted investment it was one of the more successful pitches.

Hungry House I see gone in a year or two. I agree Waterbuoy has a future, not sure I can see it on airplanes though.

Ferry companies and airlines would probably be interested in them as alternatives to the bulky life jackets if they could make ones that weren't that big that could lift humans. They could easily be attached to luggage too. Suppose for airlines it might depend on the gas and how it handles air pressure at altitude. Hungry House doesn't sound too different to most listing sites. It would be more attractive to use if they offered some of the 10% commission back to the customer. They'd probably be better off concentrating on America. Reckon there would be more customers over there.
