What Happened to Egglu After Dragons’ Den?

Egglu appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2011, Series 9 Episode 1. The business was a plastic ball preventing splashback in toilets. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2020.

The Pitch

George Winter walked into the Den in 2011 with a plastic ball preventing splashback in toilets. They were asking for £50,000.

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 George Winter left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show

Egglu did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2020, some 9 years after the pitch.

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 Egglu Still in Business?

No. Egglu is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
