Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Cavemen's Bat Guano After Dragons’ Den?
Cavemen's Bat Guano appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2007, Series 5 Episode 2. The business was a organic fertilizer for plants, garden and vegetables. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2010.
The Pitch
Micheal Whitam walked into the Den in 2007 with a organic fertilizer for plants, garden and vegetables. They were asking for £50,000.
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 Micheal Whitam left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Cavemen's Bat Guano did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2010, only 3 years after the Den appearance.
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 Cavemen's Bat Guano Still in Business?
No. Cavemen's Bat Guano is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
