Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to David Schofield After Dragons’ Den?
David Schofield appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2009, Series 7 Episode 6. The business was a debut self-titled classical album. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
David Schofield walked into the Den in 2009 with a debut self-titled classical album. They were asking for £60,000 in exchange for 20% 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 Schofield left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
David Schofield is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2009, the company has now been trading for well over a decade — an outcome that puts it ahead of the vast majority of startup ventures, let alone television pitches.
Is David Schofield Still in Business?
Yes. David Schofield appears to still be trading.
