Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to ByoBin After Dragons’ Den?
ByoBin appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2005, Series 1 Episode 4. The business was a waste storage with protection from odour. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2014.
The Pitch
Stewart Twinn walked into the Den in 2005 with a waste storage with protection from odour. 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 Stewart Twinn left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
ByoBin did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2014, some 9 years after the pitch.
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 ByoBin Still Available?
No. Byobyn Limited is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
