Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to EcoSpot After Dragons’ Den?
EcoSpot appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2018, Series 15 Episode 10. The business was an adjustable mortarboard for bricklayers. They secured investment from Deborah Meaden on the show. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
John Boff walked into the Den in 2018 with an adjustable mortarboard for bricklayers. They were asking for £25,000 in exchange for 35% of the business.
The pitch landed well enough in the Den that at least one Dragon decided to back it.
The Deal
A deal was struck on the show. Deborah Meaden offered £25,000 for 35%, and John Boff accepted.
It’s worth noting that Dragons’ Den deals agreed on camera often go through further negotiation off-screen. Some complete as shown; others are renegotiated or never finalise at all. The company’s subsequent trading history is the clearest indicator of what actually happened.
What Happened After the Show
EcoSpot is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2018, 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 EcoSpot Still in Business?
Yes. EcoSpot appears to still be trading.
