Scottish company pitches for investment

A Scots based entrepreneur is entering the Dragons’ Den to pitch for investment in his interactive fitness game.

Ralf Klinnert founded Funky Moves in 2005 and is looking for s120,000 for 20 per cent of the business.

The German, based at the Alba Innovation Centre in Livingston, West Lothian, hopes the flashing the Funky Cones product can help to promote better fitness in schools.

The cones are programmed to flash in sequences which players have to memorise as they run between them.

Kinnert also believes the devices could have applications in professional sports training.

Funky Moves received Small Company Innovation Support to launch the product and has already sold into some Scottish primary schools.

The episode goes out on Monday August 16 on BBC2.
