Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Baby Grippa After Dragons’ Den?
Baby Grippa appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2006, Series 3 Episode 6. The business was a non-latex napkin stopping infants from slipping in seats. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The current status of the business is not publicly known.
The Pitch
Gavin David walked into the Den in 2006 with a non-latex napkin stopping infants from slipping in seats. They were asking for £150,000 in exchange for 25% 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 Gavin David left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Baby Grippa did not survive long-term. The company has since been dissolved.
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 Baby Grippa Still in Business?
No. Baby Grippa is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
