What Happened to Bad Brownie After Dragons’ Den?
Bad Brownie appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2016, Series 13 Episode 14. The business was a gourmet-flavoured chocolate brownies. They secured investment from Touker Suleyman on the show. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Morag Ekanger and Paz Sarmah walked into the Den in 2016 with a gourmet-flavoured chocolate brownies. They were asking for £60,000 in exchange for 30% 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. Touker Suleyman offered £60,000 for 30%, and Morag Ekanger and Paz Sarmah 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
Bad Brownie 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 Bad Brownie Still in Business?
Yes. Bad Brownie appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
