What Happened to Enclothed After Dragons’ Den?
Enclothed appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2015, Series 12 Episode 9. The business was a men's online clothing and delivery service. They secured investment from Piers Linney and Kelly Hoppen on the show. The company was sold in 2018.
The Pitch
Levi Young and Dana Zingher walked into the Den in 2015 with a men's online clothing and delivery service. They were asking for £70,000 in exchange for 15% 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. Piers Linney and Kelly Hoppen offered £70,000 for 15%, and Levi Young and Dana Zingher 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
Enclothed did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2018, only 3 years after the Den appearance.
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 Enclothed Still in Business?
No. Enclothed is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
