What Happened to Cloven Hoof Rum After Dragons’ Den?
Cloven Hoof Rum appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2019, Series 17 Episode 1. The business was a imported rum from guyana & trinidad. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Paul Stanley walked into the Den in 2019 with a imported rum from guyana & trinidad. They were asking for £50,000 in exchange for 5% 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 Paul Stanley left the Den without backing.
