Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to CU Products After Dragons’ Den?
CU Products appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2007, Series 4 Episode 4. The business was a night-vision safety wear. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2010.
The Pitch
Jack McGenily walked into the Den in 2007 with a night-vision safety wear. They were asking for £75,000.
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 Jack McGenily left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
CU Products 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 CU Products Still Available?
No. C-u Products Limited is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
