Solo-founder of Kiddiwhizz, Zoë Chapman, shares how risking it all for her invention led to double investment on Dragon’s Den.

After noticing a vast gap in the market during the pandemic, the 39-year-old mum of
one rolled her sleeves up to fill it. Her genius idea: A portable kids’ toilet—aptly called the Whizzer.

Taking a huge financial risk from her 1-bed council flat, she turned a need into a solution, in part thanks to her neurodivergent brain. And now, she has singlehandedly turned her idea into an award-winning, eco-friendly solution that parents simply can’t leave the house without.

Struggling against traditional expectations, Zoë offers a unique perspective on overcoming obstacles, harnessing creativity, and challenging conventional norms to achieve success. With authenticity and resilience, she demonstrates how neurodivergence can provide a fresh lens for innovation and inspire others to embrace their own individual capabilities. Join us on this episode of Sound Advice: Entrepreneurs Unfiltered to explore how you too can defy the odds and grow a unique business.

Kiana Gomes is the creative mind behind the Cocktail Bomb Shop, a product she has designed to elevate your at-home bartending experience and impress your guests.

After finding a gap in the market for her fizzy creations during the pandemic, she worked tirelessly on perfecting her formula. Kiana then posted a TikTok video of her cocktail bomb in action, and just like that, she went viral! She reached over 500,000 views overnight and her account has since grown to over 200k followers.

Once her business started to take off, she found herself outgrowing her kitchen table and with that, she knew it was time to scale up. Rather than taking out loans or turning to traditional funding sources, she decided to seek out investors on Dragon’s Den.

Join us on the Sound Advice Podcast, for a flavourful journey, as we dive into how Kiana secured major investment while also building valuable business connections.
