Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Eventful Stays After Dragons’ Den?
Eventful Stays appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2011, Series 9 Episode 4. The business was a online private accommodation agency. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2019.
The Pitch
Camilla Shaughnessy walked into the Den in 2011 with a online private accommodation agency. They were asking for £240,000.
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 Camilla Shaughnessy left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Eventful Stays did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2019, some 8 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 Eventful Stays Still in Business?
No. Eventful Stays is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
