What Happened to BamZ After Dragons’ Den?
BamZ appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2007, Series 5 Episode 5. The business was a interactive insoles for children's shoes. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2019.
The Pitch
Andrew Brodie walked into the Den in 2007 with a interactive insoles for children's shoes. They were asking for £50,000.
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 Andrew Brodie left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
BamZ did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2019, some 12 years after the pitch.
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 BamZ Still in Business?
No. BamZ is no longer in business. Based on available records, the company is dissolved (2019).
