Who walks away with the cash in BBC's Dragons' Den? 🤔
We've been crunching the numbers here at Prolific North, and the results of our latest analysis into funding on the BBC show might surprise you. Over the years, Dragons like Steven Bartlett, Deborah Meaden, Peter Jones, Sara Davies, and Touker Suleyman have invested millions, but is there a hidden gender divide in who gets the deals?
Turns out, male-only pitches have received nearly double the funding compared to female-only pitches over the past three seasons. However, there's a shift happening - the gap has narrowed significantly in the last two seasons. So, what does it all mean? Is this a sign of progress, or is there still work to be done?
We'd love to hear your thoughts 💭
