David Cohen and Teddy Leifer walked into the Den in Season 5, Episode 1 in the episode that aired 15 October 2007. Dateswith Mates, the match-making dating website, pitched in the Tech & Software category, one of 76 tech & software businesses to brave the Den across all 21 seasons.

On the carpet, the number was £100,000 for a 20% stake, which valued the company at £500K.

The dragons passed, and Dateswith Mates left without a deal. That's not always the end of the story. Some of Dragons’ Den's most successful companies were rejected on air and grew anyway, using the exposure (the "Dragons’ Den effect") to drive sales the dragons missed out on.

Dateswith Mates was one of 79 businesses to pitch in Season 5, where 15 deals got done. In the Tech & Software category overall, roughly 38% of pitches have landed a dragon across the show's history.
