What Happened to BigBoy Beanbag After Dragons’ Den?

BigBoy Beanbag appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2016, Series 14 Episode 1. The business was a luxury machine washable beanbags. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.

The Pitch

Mark Yewman walked into the Den in 2016 with a luxury machine washable beanbags. They were asking for £75,000 in exchange for 15% 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 Mark Yewman left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show

BigBoy Beanbag is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show in 2016, the business has now been trading for over a decade — an outcome that puts it ahead of the vast majority of startup ventures, let alone television pitches.
