Notable Appearances
SoftShell Computers was featured on the season 3 premiere episode of Dragons' Den that aired on 29 September 2008. The initial response was quite negative from the Dragons, but a deal of C$200,000 in exchange for 50% of the company was eventually worked, largely due to the help of Hazel, an 83-year-old user of their product, whom they brought to help with their business pitch.

Famous quotes containing the words notable and/or appearances:
“Every notable advance in technique or organization has to be paid for, and in most cases the debit is more or less equivalent to the credit. Except of course when it’s more than equivalent, as it has been with universal education, for example, or wireless, or these damned aeroplanes. In which case, of course, your progress is a step backwards and downwards.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“The appearances of goodness and merit often meet with a greater reward from the world than goodness and merit themselves.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
