Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Crocodile Keyboard After Dragons’ Den?
Crocodile Keyboard appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2011, Series 9 Episode 6. The business was a touchpad keyboard with triangular outlay. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2014.
The Pitch
David Baker walked into the Den in 2011 with a touchpad keyboard with triangular outlay. They were asking for £150,000 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 David Baker left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Crocodile Keyboard did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2014, 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 Crocodile Keyboard Still in Business?
No. Crocodile Keyboard is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
