What Happened to Crikey Bikey Ltd After Dragons’ Den?
Crikey Bikey Ltd appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2015, Series 13 Episode 9. The business was a cycling harness for bike learners. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2018.
The Pitch
Kia and Scarlet Bannatyne The youngest entrepreneurs to enter the den as of 2022, aged 14 and 12 respectively. walked into the Den in 2015 with a cycling harness for bike learners. They were asking for £25,000 in exchange for 10% 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 Kia and Scarlet Bannatyne The youngest entrepreneurs to enter the den as of 2022, aged 14 and 12 respectively. left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Crikey Bikey Ltd did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2018, 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 Crikey Bikey Ltd Still in Business?
No. Crikey Bikey Ltd is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
