Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to EDV Videos After Dragons’ Den?
EDV Videos appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2007, Series 4 Episode 5. The business was a video production service turning home videos into biopics. They secured investment from Deborah Meaden and Richard Farleigh on the show. The current status of the business is not publicly known.
The Pitch
Richard Williamson walked into the Den in 2007 with a video production service turning home videos into biopics. They were asking for £250,000 in exchange for 25% 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 and Richard Farleigh offered £250,000 for 25%, and Richard Williamson 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
EDV Videos did not survive long-term. The company has since been dissolved.
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 EDV Videos Still in Business?
No. EDV Videos is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
