Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Botanycl After Dragons’ Den?
Botanycl appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2023, Series 20 Episode 12. The business was a plant-based supplement brand. They secured investment from Steven Bartlett and Peter Jones on the show. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Caroline Sims walked into the Den in 2023 with a plant-based supplement brand. They were asking for £60,000 in exchange for 25% 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. Steven Bartlett and Peter Jones offered £60,000 for 25% (20% if investment is repaid within 18 months.), and Caroline Sims 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
Botanycl is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. The company has now been trading for around 3 years since the pitch.
Is Botanycl Still in Business?
Yes. Botanycl appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
