What Happened to Feeding Your Imagination After Dragons’ Den?
Feeding Your Imagination appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2011, Series 9 Episode 5. The business was a range of chocolate bars. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2022.
The Pitch
Paul Da-Costa-Greaves walked into the Den in 2011 with a range of chocolate bars. They were asking for £50,000.
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 Paul Da-Costa-Greaves left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Feeding Your Imagination did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2022, some 11 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 Feeding Your Imagination Still in Business?
No. Feeding Your Imagination is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
