Dragons’ Den Tracker

The Pitch

Sian and John Colderly walked into the Den in 2024 with a pod sized cinema booths. They were asking for £60,000 in exchange for 20% of the business.

The pitch landed well enough in the Den that at least one Dragon decided to back it.

The Deal

A deal was struck on the show. Gary Neville and Touker Suleyman offered £60,000 for 20%, and Sian and John Colderly accepted.

It’s worth noting that Dragons’ Den deals agreed on camera often go through further negotiation off-screen. Some complete as shown; others are renegotiated or never finalise at all. The company’s subsequent trading history is the clearest indicator of what actually happened.

What Happened After the Show

Cosy Cinema did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2025 — just a year after appearing on the show.

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 Cosy Cinema Still in Business?

No. Cosy Cinema is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company is in liquidation.
