Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Funkybod After Dragons’ Den?
Funkybod appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2015, Series 13 Episode 3. The business was a muscle boosting padded clothing. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Arshad Bhunoo walked into the Den in 2015 with a muscle boosting padded clothing. They were asking for N/A.
