Dragons’ Den Tracker

The Pitch

Phillip and Lakshmy Pengelly walked into the Den in 2020 with a chair table designed for care homes. They were asking for £10,000 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. Sara Davies offered £10,000 for 25%, and Phillip and Lakshmy Pengelly 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

Fliptop is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show in 2020, the business has now been trading for over a decade — an outcome that puts it ahead of the vast majority of startup ventures, let alone television pitches.

Is Fliptop Still Available?

Yes. L.P Care Solutions Ltd appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
