What Happened to Airwheel After Dragons’ Den?

Airwheel appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2015, Series 12 Episode 11. The business was a airwheel mobility devices. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2021.

The Pitch

Scott Fidgett and Samuel Parham walked into the Den in 2015 with a airwheel mobility devices. They were asking for N/A.

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 Scott Fidgett and Samuel Parham left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show

Airwheel did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2021, some 6 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 Airwheel Still in Business?

No. Airwheel is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
