What's the deal? Plotpackers, a travel platform founded by Louise Truman, secured a £120,000 investment from Deborah Meaden and Steven Bartlett after appearing on BBC's Dragons' Den . Truman had initially sought £60,000 for 3% of the company; the final deal combined offers from Meaden and Bartlett.

What does Plotpackers do? Launched in September 2023, Plotpackers helps young people plan itineraries and design trips for solo travellers, with a focus on safer, more sustainable and accessible travel experiences.
