What Happened to Be Nosy Ltd After Dragons’ Den?
Be Nosy Ltd appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2021, Series 18 Episode 7. The business was a breathing device protecting against air pollution. They secured investment from Tej Lalvani on the show. The company was dissolved in 2024.
The Pitch
Carina Cunha walked into the Den in 2021 with a breathing device protecting against air pollution. They were asking for £50,000 in exchange for 15% 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. Tej Lalvani offered £50,000 for 15%, and Carina Cunha 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
Be Nosy Ltd did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2024, only 3 years after the Den appearance.
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 Be Nosy Ltd Still in Business?
No. Be Nosy Ltd is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
