Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Ecosense After Dragons’ Den?
Ecosense appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2010, Series 8 Episode 5. The business was a sensor for air conditioning controls. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Glenn and Steven Hardman walked into the Den in 2010 with a sensor for air conditioning controls. They were asking for £100,000.
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 Glenn and Steven Hardman left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Ecosense is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2010, 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 Ecosense Still in Business?
Yes. Ecosense appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
