Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to CarBQ After Dragons’ Den?
CarBQ appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2012, Series 10 Episode 11. The business was a bbq fitted into car boots. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The current status of the business is not publicly known.
The Pitch
Danny Keane and Phil Andrews walked into the Den in 2012 with a bbq fitted into car boots. They were asking for £40,000.
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 Danny Keane and Phil Andrews left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
CarBQ did not survive long-term. The company has since been dissolved.
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 CarBQ Still in Business?
No. CarBQ is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
