What Happened to Acu Seeds After Dragons’ Den?
Acu Seeds appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2024, Series 21 Episode 3. The business was a needle-free ear acupuncture. They secured investment from Steven Bartlett on the show. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Giselle Boxer [ note 5 ] walked into the Den in 2024 with a needle-free ear acupuncture. They were asking for £50,000 in exchange for 12.5% of the business.
The pitch landed well enough in the Den that at least one Dragon decided to back it.
The Deal
A deal was struck on the show. Steven Bartlett offered £50,000 for 12.5%, and Giselle Boxer [ note 5 ] accepted.
It’s worth noting that Dragons’ Den deals agreed on camera often go through further negotiation off-screen. Some complete as shown; others are renegotiated or never finalise at all. The company’s subsequent trading history is the clearest indicator of what actually happened.
What Happened After the Show
Acu Seeds is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. The business has now been trading for around 4 years since the pitch.
Is Acu Seeds Still Available?
Yes. East Healing Ltd appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
