What Happened to Breakout (Firefly Safety Ltd) After Dragons’ Den?

Breakout (Firefly Safety Ltd) appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2010, Series 8 Episode 6. The business was a emergency glass breaking device. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.

The Pitch

Steven Mahar walked into the Den in 2010 with a emergency glass breaking device. They were asking for £75,000.

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 Steven Mahar left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show

Breakout (Firefly Safety Ltd) is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show in 2010, 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.
