Steven Bartlett invests £50,000 in Revibed via Dragons’ Den
Entrepreneur Steven Bartlett has secured a deal to invest £50,000 for a 15% stake in the superfood drinks brand Revibed following their appearance on the BBC show Dragons’ Den. Founded by Ivor and Eugene Patterson, the business produces vegan-friendly, low-sugar drinks and superfood powders inspired by Caribbean flavors.
Bartlett provided insight into the post-show investment process, noting that once filming concludes, investors and entrepreneurs meet privately to begin formal due diligence. This stage involves reviewing business operations and establishing professional rapport. Bartlett emphasized his preference for building close, long-term relationships with the entrepreneurs in his portfolio, often inviting new investments to his office to discuss business plans away from the pressure of the television set.
