The iTeddy is an interactive teddy bear with inbuilt media player, it was invented by 29-year-old Imran Hakimand who went on and participated in TV show Dragon's Den in order to acquire additional financing to expand the business, 2 of the judges got interested in the idea and agreed to provide financing for the company!
The company became an instant success and their product is now selling in more than 40 countries worldwide grossing more than 10 million Pounds a year (not bad considering the company was founded in 2007 !!).
