What Happened to 3-rings Care After Dragons’ Den?

3-rings Care appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2015, Series 13 Episode 6. The business was a notification service for electrical devices. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2023.

The Pitch

Stephen Purdham walked into the Den in 2015 with a notification service for electrical devices. They were asking for £300,000 in exchange for 10% of the business.

Despite their best efforts, the pitch didn’t convince the Dragons to open their wallets.

The Deal

No deal was made. The Dragons weren’t persuaded to invest, and Stephen Purdham left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show

3-rings Care did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2023, some 8 years after the pitch.

This is not an unusual outcome. The majority of businesses that appear on Dragons’ Den, deal or no deal, don’t make it in the long run. The show can provide a platform and capital, but it can’t substitute for a sustainable business model.

Is 3-rings Care Still in Business?

No. 3-rings Care is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
