Dragons’ Den Tracker

The Pitch

Jacqueline McKay walked into the Den in 2010 with a multi-use baby crib. They were asking for £150,000 in exchange for 40% 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 Jacqueline McKay left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show

Angel Cot did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2011 — just a year after appearing on the show.

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 Angel Cot Still in Business?

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