What Happened to Boogie Mites After Dragons’ Den?
Boogie Mites appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2012, Series 10 Episode 1. The business was a music for early years childcare practitioners. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Harriet Thomas and Sue Newman walked into the Den in 2012 with a music for early years childcare practitioners. 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 Harriet Thomas and Sue Newman left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Boogie Mites is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2012, the company has now been trading for well over a decade — an outcome that puts it ahead of the vast majority of startup ventures, let alone television pitches.
Is Boogie Mites Still in Business?
