Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Bing Bang Bong After Dragons’ Den?
Bing Bang Bong appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2006, Series 3 Episode 7. The business was a design and manufacture of outdoor musical instruments. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2015.
The Pitch
Paul Marshall walked into the Den in 2006 with a design and manufacture of outdoor musical instruments. They were asking for N/A.
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 Paul Marshall left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Bing Bang Bong did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2015, some 9 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 Bing Bang Bong Still in Business?
No. Bing Bang Bong is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
