She was seeing my best mate a few years back and she is lovely. School reunion in September but I speak to Sharon from time to time already so will be seeking out people I ain't seen for 25 years.
Hopo my understanding with the den is that in return for the investment the dragons aquire a %age of the business. Would many people want to give up the large %ages knOwing they were just getting a loan.
I felt guilty at the time because I had advised Sharon on certain things and I remember her asking me over to watch the un edited version of the show and her time in the den was actually over an hour (in secret as she was not allowed to even show family). All 5 dragons wanted to invest which I believe was a first and she gave away exactly what she wanted to. (I had told her that every show I have ever seen the dragons will always ask for twice the %age you offer and a simple solution was to only offer half the equity you are willing to give away).
She has worked hard, shed many tears and gone from blonde to brunette

. She now has written a book "the mother of invention" and is also working as a guest speaker at various business events.
