City PM Unregulated podcast: Behind the scenes on Dragons’ Den, with Rob Law and Kirsty Henshaw

By: Emma Haslett

Dragons' Den: it's nerve-wracking enough if you get investment – but what happens if you're rejected?

We're joined by Trunki founder Rob Law, who was spectacularly rejected by the Dragons but whose product has gone on to become a ubiquitous sight in airports everywhere, and Kirsty Henshaw, whose business, Kirsty's, got backing from Peter Jones and Duncan Bannatyne.

They discuss what happened behind the scenes on the Den – and whether publicity alone is enough to make the gruelling pitch worth it.
