On February 27, Millie Flemington-Clare presented her business, Human Beauty, on BBC's Dragons' Den, aiming for £50,000 in exchange for 20% equity. Despite her inspiring story and innovative products, like makeup tools designed for inclusivity, she did not receive the funding she sought. Instead, some Dragons, including Steven Bartlett and Touker Souleyman, offered mentorship and help with marketing and sourcing, recognizing the emotional and therapeutic value that makeup provided Millie as she dealt with significant health challenges and bullying.
"In the last four years I have had two kidney transplants and I ended up in ICU for over three months. But make up became my therapy."
"It's a really really inspiring story... as a business case it's not a financial investment for me so I am going to say that I am out. But I am willing to invest my time."
