The Pitch
Nick Hubert walked into the Den in 2016 with an app to help drivers find parking spaces. They were asking for £200,000 in exchange for 15% 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. Peter Jones and Nick Jenkins offered £200,000 for 15%, and Nick Hubert 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
AppyParking is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2016, the company has now been trading for well over a decade — an outcome that puts it ahead of the vast majority of startup ventures, let alone television pitches.
Is AppyParking Still in Business?
Yes. AppyParking appears to still be trading.
