(Dragons’ Den Greece, Season 3, Episode 6)
We didn’t enter Dragons’ Den seeking approval.
We went because we knew exactly who we are.
That doesn’t mean we weren’t anxious.
The months before our appearance were filled with conversations.
Endless ones.
In the workshop. At home. In the car. Everywhere.
Were we ready?
Was this the right time?
Would they truly understand what we had built?
Mama Irene is more than just a product.
It’s an idea. It’s a philosophy. It’s a way of life.
Even in the middle of the anxiety, we felt strong.
Maybe stronger than ever.
Because the anxiety never left — but neither did our confidence.
We didn’t walk onto that stage afraid.
We stepped in with a sense of responsibility.
We presented quality.
We presented vision.
We presented the future.
Born in Thessaloniki, rooted in Pontian heritage and shaped by modern innovation,
Mama Irene was never meant to blend in.
It was created to stand out.
he moment we heard “Deal,” we didn’t just feel joy.
And — to be honest — it took me a few seconds to truly process it.
We felt vindicated.
For the sleepless nights.
For the decisions that scared us.
For every time we chose courage over comfort.
Because that’s what we do.
We dare. Together!
Το άγχος δεν έφυγε ποτέ.
The anxiety never left. It simply became strength.
Mama Irene is built on hard work, persistence, and belief.
The belief that every family deserves a healthy, high-quality meal — just like the one we make at home.
Our participation in Dragons’ Den was not the destination.
It was the confirmation that what we are building is truly unique.
And when you believe that deeply in what you do,
there is no other option.
You keep going.
Finally, the real “deal” wasn’t the one made on that stage.
It was that, throughout this entire journey, I have been walking it with the best person I could ever ask for.
Every time I watch the video come to an end and hear Kostas’ words at the end…
I can’t hold back my tears.
Not just because I’m emotional.
But out of gratitude.
Because no business success truly matters
if you don’t share it with the person you love.
And we are not just building a company.
Together, we are building a future.
