What Happened to Elite Sport After Dragons’ Den?
Elite Sport appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2005, Series 2 Episode 3. The business was a protein nutritional supplements. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Shaz Agar walked into the Den in 2005 with a protein nutritional supplements. They were asking for £110,000.
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 Shaz Agar left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Elite Sport is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2005, 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 Elite Sport Still in Business?
