Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Buzzgames After Dragons’ Den?
Buzzgames appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2010, Series 8 Episode 4. The business was a football attached to spring pole. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2011.
The Pitch
Tony Young walked into the Den in 2010 with a football attached to spring pole. They were asking for £150,000 in exchange for 10% of the business.
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 Tony Young left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Buzzgames did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2011 — just a year after appearing on the show.
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 Buzzgames Still Available?
No. Buzzgames Ltd is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
