In BBC Dragons' Den, which Dragon invested £80,000 in the wall-fixing product GripIt?

The story behind the answer

Deborah Meaden invested £80,000 in GripIt, a wall-fixing product presented on BBC Dragons' Den.

GripIt was developed to help secure heavy objects to plasterboard and similar walls. Its design used a fixing that spread behind the wall surface, addressing a common problem with ordinary wall plugs, which can fail when plasterboard cannot support a substantial load by itself.

Meaden’s investment became one of the more memorable product deals associated with the programme. GripIt is sometimes confused with ordinary screws or generic wall plugs, but the brand refers to a particular fixing system. The £80,000 figure is the investment amount, not the product’s retail price or the entrepreneur’s original sales figure.
