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)
“We often think ourselves inconsistent creatures, when we are the furthest from it, and all the variety of shapes and contradictory appearances we put on, are in truth but so many different attempts to gratify the same governing appetite.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
