Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Baskit Geni After Dragons’ Den?
Baskit Geni appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2011, Series 9 Episode 5. The business was a anti-theft device for gardeners. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2017.
The Pitch
Jacqueline Williams and Gerald Parker walked into the Den in 2011 with a anti-theft device for gardeners. 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 Jacqueline Williams and Gerald Parker left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Baskit Geni did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2017, some 6 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 Baskit Geni Still in Business?
No. Baskit Geni is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
