What Happened to Extend Robotics After Dragons’ Den?

Extend Robotics appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2022, Series 19 Episode 1. The business was a human controlled robot via vr for hospitality. They secured investment from Peter Jones on the show. The business is still active today.

The Pitch

Dr. Chang Liu walked into the Den in 2022 with a human controlled robot via vr for hospitality. They were asking for £150,000 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. Peter Jones offered £150,000 for 25%, and Dr. Chang Liu 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

Extend Robotics is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. The company has now been trading for around 4 years since the pitch.

Is Extend Robotics Still in Business?

Yes. Extend Robotics appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
