Going into the Dragon's Den is very scary. They'll rip you into pieces.
They are merciless. If you are not prepared, they very politely will make you look like an idiot in front of millions of viewers in a matter of few seconds.
But most importantly, to show that you CAN do business, you need to show them you indeed CAN do business, and only this matters.
And all you have what - 5 minutes to do that?
That's why it's so impressive.
And Hartlands did that.
I absolutely agree that

They're very rare, but they're out there.
For that matter, even the hearing successful entrepreneurs are not
that common.
Small one person type businesses owners are a-plenty alright,
but to own a company that hires a considerate number of people is entire different matter.
A really big, big, big entrepreneurial cahuna the line of the billions and billions and BILLIONS of dollars
- I'll bet none of you even heard first current ten names -
out of the entire world population - a mere handful.
So, dam' right - it's great success that a deaf person went on DD to pitch it's own business, and successfully at that.
I believe, truly worth some kudos. Especially here, no?
It's also a very good insight that a blame for more deaf people not trying their luck as entrepreneurs might lie in
a/like you've said Machine Ghost, a general lack of information how to become one
b/perhaps the deaf pple are not encouraged or not enough ?
hahaha, you may not believe it but once I signed myself
