Schoolfriends who were ‘told they’d be bankrupt by 30′ bag £165,000 Dragons’ Den investment

Two schoolfriends who were warned that they would be ‘bankrupt by 30’ by their parents have secured a double investment on Dragons’ Den.

Andy Aitken and Josh Mihill took the Dragons on in tonight’s BBC episode as they asked for a £110,000 investment for 1% of their company, Honest Mobile.

Presenting to Deborah Meaden, Peter Jones, Touker Suleyman, Sara Davies and Steven Bartlett’, the duo pitched their business, which solves bad signal and expensive roaming.

Despite some initial hesitancy from Peter, both Steven and Deborah jumped at the opportunity to get involved.

After answering the Dragons’ questions with style and poise, Deborah gave the childhood friends an offer of half the money for 1.5% of the company.

Shortly afterwards, Steven offered the full amount for 3% of the company.
