What Happened to Extreme Fliers Toys After Dragons’ Den?

Extreme Fliers Toys appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2009, Series 7 Episode 8. The business was a remote control flying toys. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.

The Pitch

Vernon Kerswell walked into the Den in 2009 with a remote control flying toys. They were asking for £75,000 in exchange for 15% of the business.

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 Vernon Kerswell left the Den without backing.

What Happened After the Show
