Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Carbon Six After Dragons’ Den?
Carbon Six appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2008, Series 6 Episode 2. The business was a tokens system limiting time children watch tv. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Richard Mire walked into the Den in 2008 with a tokens system limiting time children watch tv. They were asking for £150,000 in exchange for 15% 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 Richard Mire left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Carbon Six is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show in 2008, 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.
Is Carbon Six Still Available?
Yes. Dect Ventures Ltd appears to still be trading.
