What Happened to Bubble House Worm Farming After Dragons’ Den?

Bubble House Worm Farming appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2006, Series 3 Episode 4. The business was a worm breeding farm for fertilising and fish-bait. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.

The Pitch

Shelia Nelson and Nike Finister walked into the Den in 2006 with a worm breeding farm for fertilising and fish-bait. 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 Shelia Nelson and Nike Finister left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show

Bubble House Worm Farming is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2006, 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 Bubble House Worm Farming Still in Business?

Yes. Bubble House Worm Farming appears to still be trading.
