Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Baby Dream Machine After Dragons’ Den?
Baby Dream Machine appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2005, Series 1 Episode 1. The business was a aid for rocking baby cots. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Graham Whitby and Barry Haigh walked into the Den in 2005 with a aid for rocking baby cots. They were asking for £150,000 in exchange for 5% 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 Graham Whitby and Barry Haigh left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Baby Dream Machine is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2005, 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 Baby Dream Machine Still in Business?
Yes. Baby Dream Machine appears to still be trading.
