Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Gloven After Dragons’ Den?
Gloven appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2011, Series 9 Episode 1. The business was a flexible oven gloves. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2018.
The Pitch
Nola Baldwin walked into the Den in 2011 with a flexible oven gloves. They were asking for £75,000.
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 Nola Baldwin left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Gloven did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2018, some 7 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 Gloven Still in Business?
No. Gloven is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
